DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?

NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of

D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Kristi Noem must go now.

It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability.

She believes she’s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents.

We demand answers.

Repost far and wide if this happens.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social absolutely support this and look forward to talking with anyone - regardless of party - about ties to Epstein.

Today's explanation for the Iran War (they shift by the minute) is that Israel was going to attack and so we had to as well. We were "forced" into war by Netanyahu.

That's the definition of weakness - being suckered into a war of choice that no American wants.

“You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time and training, and then you have the audacity to go and say it’s a leadership lesson about tough choices.”

Calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists after her agents killed them, Tillis said, was on brand.

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?

Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.

And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

Both times, actually.

Were NOT completely obliterated back then.

But there was also no evidence they were building an ICBM now.

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today.

Who the fuck voted for that?

The US Embassy in Riyadh seems to have taken a direct hit.

No idea on casualties, but it looks bad. Hope it was evacuated.

Well, we did it because of the protesters

Nukes

I mean they’re building an ICBM

We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us

I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too

They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

Our Medicaid and SNAP money is going to concentration camps and ICE thugs.

DeSantis-led Florida has rejected $11 billion in federal funding in recent years Gov. Ron DeSantis and state administrators have rejected at least $11 billion in federal funds in the past few years because there were strings attached, they “politicized” roads, or were just too …

“The programs include an expansion of Medicaid, rebates for energy-saving appliances/upgrades, program to cut motor vehicle emissions, and summer lunches for children from low-income families. Millions of mostly low-income Floridians could have benefited from the funding…”

During the DeSantis admin, he has repeatedly refused federal money appropriated to states to help residents but has asked for more than $1 billion to imprison them.

“Who will ultimately pay for it all remains an open — and critical — question.”

Spending $1MM/day, in a state with no income tax and no estate tax, and which proposes to eliminate property taxes for all homesteaders.

BREAKING: A “credible whistleblower” has revealed FBI forensic experts were ordered to “stand down” from processing the scene of Renee Good’s murder — because Kash Patel did not want Good “referenced as a ‘victim.’”

He cares nothing for the American people. That is evidenced by this cavalier quote, as well as the killing of Americans by ICE, the deportations of residents, and the cruel and callous ways the regime treats everyone who opposes it.

What Should Israel Do? Like many Americans, I’ve spent much of the last six months arguing about Israel and Palestine online. In doing so, I’ve found myself perennially frustrated by how abstract the discussi…

The thing is, I do not think my views on 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 are particularly radical. I am fundamentally arguing for the official position of the US government since 1967. The only thing I am saying is that if you actually believe in what everybody says they believe in, you are required to take that seriously.

To the extant that this isn't true, it's *wild* that the US government keeps asserting that it is.

This is very good

“This is serious. The administration has to make its case to the American people.”

No, Chuck and Hakeem, you guys need to trumpet why this war is unnecessary, illegal and wrong.

And stop tiptoe-ing around Bibi. Just because he’s the leader of Israel doesn’t make him right, either.

The most appalling thing here isn’t the obvious lying by the administration. It’s the inexhaustible presumption of good faith the press extends the administration.

Anyway, back to these beautiful drapes. 🤡

@JoyceCarolOates X.com speaking as glibly as Beavis & Butthead. does T***p even grasp the profound significance of what he has set in motion in the Middle East? this person whose most essential self is riding in a golf cart fatly, cheating at the profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf when he assumes no one is looking.

if “for sale, baby shoes, never worn” are the saddest six words, then “riding in a golf cart fatly” is the opposite of that

The latest addition to this saga is that the White House has said that 6'9" Barron Trump is "too tall to serve in the military." That's evidently their modern equivalent of Trump's bogus bone spurs story. David Robinson is 7' tall and put his lucrative NBA career on hold to serve in the Navy.

Republicans Wage War As Politics ...and politics as war.

Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social, Dems should politicize the hell out of Trump's Iran bombing:

"It would be a mistake to treat this as an above-board idea over which people of good faith can disagree. There is no merit here, and there was no imminent threat."

Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

Exactly as in Gaza (⬇️), Bibi's telegraphed his desire to do this to Iran for, as Bibi *himself* just said, "40 years."

It wasn't secret. It wasn't sneaky. It was bold as brass & as @chrislhayes.bsky.social noted tonight, knowable as long as Hayes has been alive.

Bibi saw his opening: Trump.
