Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately' The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to resume tests at a site in Nevada.

How long til he announces that they’ll be testing them in blue states?

Whoa.

We were like “no kings!” and T was like “yes kings! I poop on you and make a palace!”

A quote from author Isabelle Allende that reads, “I find myself in the unusual and awkward position of having to “defend” my novel The House of the Spirits that risks being banned from a high school in Boone, North Carolina. Banning of books is a common practice in police states, like Cuba or North Korea, and by religious fundamentalist groups like the Taliban, but I did not expect it in our democracy…”

The kid's doing a project on book banning and came across this quote — FROM 2013 — that seems pretty pertinent at the moment:

This might sound inflammatory but it's just a straightforward statement of fact.

This feels like it went under the radar a bit re public alarm - why are *ICE* stockpiling guided missiles? An agency that only operates domestically?

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass?

I was skeptical of the viral post but here’s a story about it www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

Holla, Dartmouth!!! Big sigh of relief here in my kitchen.

treason is in the eye of the beholder, I guess

So, Civil War? Am I getting this right?

A thing about this is that it's literal treason

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

This is incredible.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."

Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

what is even happening

Same! Am shocked by the news (a rare thing these days).

If any foreign drug makers with a shovel are looking for somewhere to break ground in the next five days, I’ve got about 200-sq-feet of backyard I don’t really use. Just don’t all show up at once, please.

This guy is murdering people in the Caribbean and deciding how much your cabinets will cost.

This is totally legit. I once caught my Swedish-made spice cabinet trying to traffic in US Defense Department secrets. (Might be a good time to double check that nothing nefarious is going on in, say, your own cutlery drawer.)

Holy cow! 5-year sentence!

Slow justice > No justice

Tylenol does not cause autism but *not* taking Tylenol can cause women to be truly miserable during pregnancy so you can see why the GOP is so gung-ho about this line of argument.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

Channeling this kind of optimism (thinking there will be history classes in our country’s future) to get me through another day.

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.
