🤦‍♂️They've once again traded away what little power they have in exchange for magic beans.

Utah police arrest man accused of assaulting Rep. Maxwell Frost The congressman, who was at the Sundance Film Festival, says the suspect was overheard making racial slurs during a party he was attending.

Utah's vibe: A white man named Christian Young crashed a party, yelled racial slurs at attendees, told an Afro-Cuban man Trump was going to deport him, punched him in the face w/o knowing he's a congressman, and then screamed racist remarks while running away.

The only reason this guy is even in charge is because he's occupying a seat for a made-up position that was created to get around congressional approval. The IRS has had at least six Commissioners in the last year, and now they're not even trying to get a new one appointed.

I mean, all it seems to do is expose their deep-seated hatred of women.

If the United States actually is becoming a fascistic autocracy, you need to understand that you will never be more free than you are RIGHT NOW. Your rights and freedoms will be eroded every day until they cease to exist.

What will you do with the rights you have while you still have them?

This is a must-read.

Unless he plans to announce his resignation or imminent death, there is no reason to watch this useless turd say anything at all.

I both love and hate it when dimwitted MAGA folks own themselves and 100% don't realize they've done so.

Here's the flash bang grenade.

We had drones in the air and SWAT across the street tonight. 😬

I got video of the surrender and arrest.

One of our security cameras recorded the use of a flash bang grenade.

Latinas are wearing twin braids with colorful ribbons in peaceful protest The practice of wearing two long braids isn’t new and is widely associated with Latino culture. But it has gained new significance as a symbol of peaceful protest.

Latinas in the U.S. are using twin braids with colorful ribbons as a symbol of resistance against immigration raids.

This traditional hairstyle, rooted in Mexican culture, represents resilience and identity.

Remember. A vote is NOT NEEDED to release the Epstein Files.

A vote is needed to FORCE the release of the Epstein Files

In case you're wondering, Louisiana's wildly racist and misogynist representative, Clay Higgins (R), was the only vote against releasing the Epstein files.

Column | ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ is essential viewing. Seriously. The Hulu reality show about the Mormon wives of TikTok is a perfect distillation of America’s political and cultural moment.

I have never seen an episode and I intend to keep it that way, but kudos to @washingtonpost.com columnist @monicahesse.bsky.social for this masterpiece. It's one of the best-written columns I've read all year.

Believe it or not, pointing out glaring missteps taken by federal politicians who threw away the only real power they had in exchange for what amounts to magic beans is a *very* effective way to improve our fight against Trump.

"He can never be trusted with power again. As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris." -Dick Cheney, September 6, 2024

"In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.

That's because one of the parties has a whole lot more racists as members.

The poison pill was made by Republicans. They should all choke on it without any support from Democrats.

And now, Republicans are holding desperate Americans hostage in order to get Democrats to vote for a wildly damaging continuing resolution that will still strip people of their healthcare in order to say later that "Democrats voted for it, too."

Republicans had six months to push back when Trump refused to disburse already-provided funds for various programs. They didn't.

Republicans could have, at any point in the last nine months, removed the filibuster in order to pass a continuing resolution by themselves. They didn't.

Republicans had six months to fix the problems with their Big Fugly Bill that will strip health insurance from millions of Americans. They didn't.

Republicans had six months to negotiate with Democrats to get the votes needed to pass a continuing resolution in the Senate. They didn't.

Social Security Administrator Frank Bisignano is named to the newly created position of IRS CEO Frank Bisignano has been named CEO of the IRS, adding to his role as Social Security Administration Commissioner.

We've reached the point in this fascist administration where they circumvent congressional approval by making up new government positions and titles and then selecting loyalists to fill those positions.
