Clear and petty tyrant behavior on full display

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you We uncovered a massive data trove. It revealed the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

No one familiar with Paul Kagame's methods will be surprised to learn Rwanda was a client of First Wap, a company which - in contrast to NSO - operated for years under the radar, selling phone technology which could be used to track down dissidents abroad. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

No Kings Day is worldwide

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents ‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

The future GOP, God help us America

We must decide what kind of country we want A president who uses the military and the Justice Department to exact revenge against his perceived enemies is as un-Ame

In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents.

Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

Walls of the cave direct you to a small bright opening in which a cold mountain spring falls to bright turquoise water. Along with Denali Mountain and Bryce Canyon, this is the most majestic place I’ve ever been. My teeth rattling even as I could stand in only waist deep water kept me from fully enjoying it,, but no chance I was missing this just for some discomfort. It seemed to get progressively colder tho so this is about as close as I got. In later days I’ll post a shot looking back thru the caves. The video I took is really the best indicator of the beauty here but I dunno if I can post that here or not. I may try in the comments later today.

In the Samaria Gorge on the island of Crete, Greece, lies a very deep cave with a continual cold spring waterfall. To reach it, you have to swim about 100 meters in 10 degree (C) water. I spent time thinking about hypothermia I was so cold. Nice payoff tho.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

He tells us this every time he opens his mouth or writes on social media

Questions After Quantico U.S. military commanders around the world will be working to provide steady leadership after Hegseth’s bravado and Trump’s bluster.

After the PT tests, the body-fat standards, the qualifications for combat arms roles are worked through, soldiers will ask the real question: *Are we really supposed to see fellow Americans as adversaries?* ICYMI @MarkHertling:

The Johnson County Sheriff and his deputies hunted a woman in need of abortion care and safety from an abusive relationship.

The Sheriff, Adam King, is himself facing sexual harassment, retaliation, and perjury charges.

I’ll link an article about it in a thread below.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.
