I’ll apply if I can wear this shirt to the interview:

Senator Ruben Gallego: A New Marshall Plan A new op-ed from Senator Gallego as part of the Meidas Defense initiative

Senator @gallego.senate.gov warns that Trump’s "mob boss" foreign policy is driving our closest allies straight into the arms of China. While Trump picks fights with neighbors, Beijing is building the future of the Americas. Read the full op-ed:

🦆 Lame Duck alert

Breaking with his party, Utah’s Sen. John Curtis is sinking a Trump State Department pick Citing “insensitive remarks about the Jewish people,” Utah’s Sen. John Curtis announced Thursday he will oppose a high-level State Department nomination from President Donald Trump, likely crushing it.

Utah Sen. John Curtis shot down Trump nominee Jeremy Carl, who has repeatedly expressed a belief in the white nationalist “great replacement theory,” to serve as assistant secretary of state for international organizations.

RAMPELL: “.. we had less job growth all of last year than we had in an average month during the Biden administration.”

What is this terrible zombie slogan they all have to say? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

That seemed more like mainstream media wishcasting. “Just give in, please. We’re tired of caring, why aren’t you?”

An FBI run by a halfway competent person, instead of unqualified podcaster Patel, probably would have solved this case a week ago, if not sooner.

Netanyahu is one of the most evil, bloodthirsty figures of the 21st century.

"Deux morts, des milliers de personnes arrêtées, deux villes ébranlées et Donald Trump défait. Ainsi s’achève l’opération anti-immigration « Metro surge », conduite par l’Etat fédéral dans les « twin cities », les villes jumelles de Minneapolis et Saint Paul, depuis début décembre. Tom Homan, le « tsar des frontières » de la Maison Blanche, a annoncé jeudi 12 février le retrait prochain des troupes de l’ICE (Immigration and customs enforcement, la police de l’immigration) et de la CBP (Customs and border protection, l’équivalent des douanes)."

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad.

In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with:

"Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated."

There are so many GOP scumbags I can’t wait to see lose races in November. I hope he is humiliated.

Imagine the mainstream press reaction if Biden’s DNI was covering up allegations about Hunter Biden and Iran. Non-stop coverage for weeks.

This is a very good open source resource on the variety of ways that DOGE damaged government:

YouTube video by Never Not Funny Albums That Turned Out to be a Surprise - Jimmy's Records & Tapes

Time to once again browse the bins at “Jimmy’s Records and Tapes!”
This time it’s albums that surprised me.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I think many more voters now see Trump as a malevolent figure. Not just some billionaire Archie Bunker-type, but an evil guy that wants to harm others (people of color and his political enemies).

(AXIOS) - President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls.

Death Row Prisoners Granted Clemency by Biden Brace for "Living Hell" Under Trump - Bolts Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

Big news tonight: Federal judge Tim Kelly has BLOCKED Bondi & Trump's attempt to transfer 20 men to an infamous super-max prison.

Biden granted these men clemency, and Trump has been trying to retaliate by plunging them in a place that people describe as a "living hell," as Bolts reported here:

The Democratic House needs to make life miserable for the people running Polymarket. One of the biggest out-in-the-open scams in America.

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

The only Republican challenging Dem Sen. Ben Ray Lujan is disqualified by New Mexico SoS. The ABQ Journal says this would leave the GOP without a Senate candidate for the first time in "modern history," and just six years after Lujan won by only 6 points. www.abqjournal.com/news/four-ne...

Her was DCCC chair.

Will save Democrats money.
