Hillary Clinton just posted her opening statement to the Comer Committee which she is testifying before today. It's part of the Save Donald from Epstein Investigation. The committee has essentially taken over the town of Chappaqua for the purpose. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

And $500 a day is a big deal for a JAG attorney! They don’t make that DOJ $$.

A cool thing about signature gathering to help save transit throughout the Bay is all the little stories people tell ya about what transit means to them...

Which of course would include Trump as both the current and former President (and probably as a celebrity as well).

This NYT piece never mentions the most important detail of the hearing.

THESE PEOPLE ARE UNLAWFULLY being held--and many are unlawfully being snatched in the first place.

The reason there's such a caseload is bc ICE is kidnapping people illegally.

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

The entire organization is a clown show and needs to be disbanded. This occurs because it is acquiesced to and even condoned. Nobody who wears a costume on the job understands the seriousness of the job or takes it seriously.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

VICTORY! The emergency funding deal we fought so hard for in 2025 has finally been made! The state will issue a $590 million emergency loan to hold off disastrous cuts to BART, Caltrain, AC Transit, and Muni that would have started this July.
(1/x)

Could Dems at least add a “and this funding only lasts two months” clause to whatever insufficient set of demands they’re making, so that if and when Trump predictably violates the deal, they’re not totally out of moves?

Santa Rosa Council member Victoria Fleming calls for ICE to be barred from city properties City resources should “not to be used as launching points for enforcement actions that invoke fear, tear families apart, and destabilize entre communities,” Victoria Fleming said.

Thank you.

For decades, the right wing has warned us about tyrannical government being a threat to our life and liberty. They were right. What they didn’t mention is that they would be the ones who posed the threat once in power.

“Every accusation is a confession” remains undefeated.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Again, this is what I think could win in the Senate this week.

With Reps controlling the branches of government at the federal level, what can Dems demand and win this week as approp bills are voted on in the Senate? My thoughts:
1. DHS/ICE may not wear face coverings
2. ICE agents may not carry lethal weapons
3. Reduce ICE funding to levels in prior year

In 2022 I managed the campaign to unseat Supervisor David Rabbitt, the rightmost member of the Sonoma County BoS. Alas, we came up short.

It's 2026, and a new challenger has appeared: the beloved Joanna Paun. More info to come, but her donation form is live: secure.actblue.com/donate/joann...

The head of the Republican Party will head into the midterms trying to invade Greenland, impose higher taxes on consumers, terrorize American cities, build a lavish ballroom, refuse to release the Epstein files, and pardon drug dealers and fraudsters.

Remember when Cal decided to sub Fernando Mendoza in for Chandler Rogers to run the football, then Fernando Mendoza transferred, won the Heisman Trophy, and had one of the most clutch runs in college football history to put him minutes away from a national title.

New era. But man.

It really is mad king stuff, untethered from reality.

He tells the Norwegian leader, you did not give me a prize that you don't control, so maybe I will invade the territory of another Scandinavian country you don't lead.

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

I wonder if anyone will revisit their charitable interpretations of Elon’s definitely-not-a-Nazi-salute

If there's a single undercurrent of our age it's that these miserable conditions are the result of unchecked elite impunity, and the further they continue the harder it becomes to imagine anyone using wealth to cause harm ever facing a consequence for their actions.
