Sebastian Gorka at the 2019 CPAC convention: “they want to take away your hamburgers. This is what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved.”

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

'Charlotte embodies the new Conservative Party.'

She won 1.9% of the vote.

It would take a long time to go into details, but the Conservatives governed atrociously for 14 years, and Labour have governed atrociously for a year and a half. Both main parties are toxic.

Judge Vows to End Trump Administration’s Noncompliance ‘One Way or Another’

“The court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

Bay of Porkies.

Benny Johnson tweet with image of Hillary Clinton during her deposition and a placard in the foreground that reads “REP BOEBERT”

incredible op sec from Lauren Boebert here

writing a book about exactly this!

But an order of magnitude below “when it happens.”

Washington journalists were undisguised (and unapologetic) that they hated Biden because most of the time he just boringly unobtrusively did his job.

Just embarrassing - for the author of the post Steve shows is woefully misleading, incomplete, and hackish.

And for the place that gave the author the platform. I mean FFS, the author counts shadow docket orders when convenient and doesn’t count them when they’re not!!!

Majority man. Bolshevik, if you will.

DOJ to Review Whether Epstein Files About Trump Were Improperly Withheld The Justice Department didn’t release notes from several interviews a woman gave to FBI agents in 2019.

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child

Very good. As I often say, the founding principle of the modern GOP is that the exercise of government power by Democrats is facially illegitimate.

One reason historians and political scientists are so weirded out by this moment is that Congress -- whose leaders have long fiercely defended their own power and prestige, even against presidents of their own party -- is now led by Republicans who have completely neutered themselves.

Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns Vice President JD Vance has announced that the Trump administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an agg...

This is deeply illegal, breaking the Medicaid statute and the ICA.

States are entitled to funding from federal govt to help pay for Medicaid. Providing less than the statute calls for is open and shut illegal, more akin to the impoundments Nixon lost unilaterally before SCOTUS than anything so far.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

Thread.

*raises hand*

who's taking the ubers and where are they going

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

I can’t believe this is real

A tweet from Tom Emmer's official account, RTing JD Vance announcing he'll take healthcare away from MN. He says: Tom Emmer @GOPMajorityWhip · 1h The war on fraud has begun. And Somali fraudsters in my home state are about to find out.

If you were wondering whether MN's most senior GOP lawmaker would betray his own constituents to curry Trump's favor, worry no longer.

I love this. Does it use the art form to say something interesting about Stephen Harper, one of the most consequential rightwing prime ministers in Canadian history? No. But does it look like him? Also no.

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

on the one hand, if it weren’t oz, it would be some other heritage foundation flunkie doing this

on the other hand, oprah sure did bring a whole lot of utterly corrupt fucking cranks to the national stage

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

If Kevin Hassett doesn’t know roughly a third of the electorate identify as independents it would explain a lot about how close he is to reality.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
