May he and Noem have a long retirement together at Spandau.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

There needs to be NO Dems this stupid left in office.

Markwayne is a moron. A total Trump bootlicker. Competent? GTFOH

Terrible. Hakeem Jeffries hasn't had a consultant-workshopped script handed to him yet so can't say that Markwayne Mullin is a dimwitted, willing lackey for Trump.

Just pitiful that this guy might become Speaker of the House. Completely unfit for the times.

Every time I read a new Chotiner interview I think of how easy it would be for other journalists to do what he does. Just do your homework, ask follow-up questions and don't move on until you get a response. It also doesn't seem to have cost Chotiner that most precious journalistic resource: access.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Oh no! Is Nancy Pelosi there to help him? Can't lose a good Democrat like Henry Cuellar!!!

Yes, they're evil & dangerous. But they're also just completely ridiculous.

Abolish ICE at +11 is very much a Kitchen Table Issue™

A total failure. Completely out of touch with what Democrats overwhelmingly want but also what moderates & independents want.

We can multi-task.

Defending weak leaders is one way of defending Republicans. If the leadership of the Dems in the House & the Senate is weak & lacks fight (& the Dem leadership IS weak & lacks fight), that enables GOP fascism.

This isn't an either/or situation.

Hey @delauro.house.gov. As my rep, I've asked you repeatedly to abolish ICE. Time to gracefully do the right thing.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Rogue Republican Thom Tillis absolutely cooks Kristi Noem on her inability to manage FEMA: "No. You can talk when my 10 minutes are done."

I have no idea how to even start rebuilding a physical media library of my favorite movies and music. But it seems really important these days.

honestly, this goes in the war crimes prosecution file, a pretty clear declaration that the mission is not guided by rules rooted in the law of armed conflict

This is via @daveweigel.bsky.social, from a Third Way event happening today.

This is so malignant and unserious. That these groups have to put their thumb on the scale so egregiously to get the results they've pre-ordained tells you everything you need to know about them. x.com/daveweigel/s...

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”
