I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

LOUDER

Came here to say this. “Always get the name of the dog.” I still say this almost 10 years out of the newsroom and it’s solid advice

not having a succession plan is a hallmark of poor leadership skills

Only reason there is debate is capitalism has fried our brains. Standard time is better, full stop.

"The goal of these programs is to move families into real work," the Republicans say during the Republican shutdown, as the Republican-run House enters its sixth week of getting paid for not working and the Republican president blows millions on his god-awful Epstein Ballroom.

Saying something over and over again doesn’t make it true. The House is not in session because the Speaker won’t put it in session. This is Republicans’ responsibility. Full stop.

I'm really glad to see all the folks stepping up to try to resource the loss of SNAP but also billionaires could just pay taxes.

It's not even 11am yet, and federal agents have gassed the northwest side of Chicago twice this morning.

Just before 10, NWSRR reports they detained two people in Irving Park, one of them known to be a US citizen: www.instagram.com/p/DQPKhmDEd4W/

Be informed, stand up for what’s right, do the next right thing, do it loudly. So proud of these regular Americans putting their foot down.

Objective. Reality. Exists. 🙌🙌🙌 Yes.

WTAF is he going on about these folks are bananas

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

Guys wtf

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way.

by Ezra Klein

The media environment in the US has degraded so quickly. While Dowd's remarks weren't laudatory, they weren't crass or cheap. Compare this with the Fox News anchor suggesting *this morning* that we should murder ("involuntary lethal injection; just kill 'em") people experiencing mental health crises

Stephen Miller pulling FBI agents away from investigating crimes so he can see more immigrant children cry.

"the president is claiming the power to deploy the military against any US city he feels like" is a high salience topic that impacts a lot of people on which the Democrats have an issue advantage

Folks, a party iffy on protecting completely innocent and ordinary immigrants and transgender people is not going to go out of its way to defend the human rights of accused drug traffickers. We're talking about people who lack the moral courage of the average Pomeranian. Don't know what to tell you.

My god.

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway

Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking

And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

This is also NAZI LANGUAGE

Important to remember she's not just a moron on Twitter. She's a moron who the president treats as a top advisor. She makes a lot of staffing decisions for him.

the interesting thing about the Diddy verdict is that House Republicans are about to vote to take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americas

A worker harvesting cherries

It's peak season in WA State cherries. Workers are paid piece rate and earn $4.50 per 22lb bucket. (The same as they earned in 2022). If they work super fast they can harvest 50 to 60 buckets in a 9 hour day during this very short peak season. #WeFeedYou

Video shows federal agents blast their way into Huntington Park home Video appears to show an explosion set off by federal agents as they entered a Huntington Park home in an early morning law enforcement operation that startled a woman who was inside the house with he...

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops).

This is NAZI LANGUAGE.

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.
