"I'm holding my nose and voting for Cuomo." Yeah, and? Nobody is going to award you bonus points for supporting someone you have the discernment to know is awful. Elections are only about results. You vote for him, you own the consequences.

Tariff rate on China is still something like 45%, fyi

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “No one can confirm we’ve actually been taking out drug traffickers… the admiral in charge resigned… all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime… the government’s story is not adding up.”

A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

1/ There have been at least seven strikes in the Caribbean against what the Administration calls ‘narco-terrorists.’ These killings are illegal and a terrible way to stop drugs entering our country. My thoughts:

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

Governor JB Pritzker just sounded the alarm bells about Trump’s plan to steal the midterms and maybe even CANCEL them:

“He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. That's what I believe this is about. It isn't about fighting crime.”

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

Every now and again, it’s still worth picturing what US right wing media would be doing if Obama had done this.

No more Home Depot for me. BOYCOTTING anyone who bends the knee.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Well, well, well...

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Oh wow

This is what Democracy looks like. #NoKings

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days.

Epstein Shutdown.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.
