BETO TO DEMS: “We don’t wait for the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land. We punch first, and punch harder… CA, NJ, IL, MD — redraw your lines now. Don’t wait for Texas to move first.”

the next democratic nominee should run on chaotic left wing pastiche platform of blowing up mount rushmore, deporting everybody who has ever worked for ICE, free college for trans kids only, reparations for divorced housewives, free health care but not for white men, christians pay higher taxes etc

Using the word "stole" to describe young girls is how to beat those accessory to a sex trafficker suspicions.

The cowardice of institutions and people who have claimed to be brave is endemic.

Not shocking but these chodes need to be publicly humiliated. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Three of the best journalistic entities that are covering all this nonsense right are a parody newspaper, a teen mag, and a magazine for nerds, and I am grateful for them

(The Onion, Teen Vogue, and Wired)

DND: taking a personal day to hang out in my elite bomb shelter until this all blows over. Hopefully by 5 because I have a haircut.

Don’t forget that Hegseth removed the JAG officers at the top of each branch almost immediately upon taking office, for “being in the way.” Not sure if he replaced them or with whom. But JAGs would be the ones making the ultimate call, if necessary

Oh no, an "insurrection" of dancing

Imagine being the sourpuss deploying 700 very expensive Marines to ... what? Make LA be the town from Footloose?

everyone who’s spent years stockpiling weapons and screeching about “tyranny” and “government overreach” sure is fucking quiet right now

Screenshot of text from TWZ post: "According to sources, this operation was extremely difficult from a logistical point of view. The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later – mobile wooden houses. Later, in the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of houses already placed on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs of the houses were remotely opened, and the drones flew to strike Russian bombers.”

Trojan houses.

Good morning Canada. 11 days until the election. Last night’s French language Leaders’ Debate was notable for de-platforming the Greens and affording a national platform to Juno, True North, and Rebel News, far-right media agitators who dominated the questions at the post-debate scrum. 1/3

In court: We grabbed the wrong guy.
On Fox News: We got Kingpin.

Yeeees.

After seeing the actor Andrew Scheer today I’m reminded of this… Once you see it you can’t unsee it. 🐀

Just when you think they can’t screw up their messaging even more they wheel out Andy as the relatable one and make whatever this is. #dweebsiscringe

Maine Governor, Staring Down Trump, Says She Is Unfazed by ‘Loud Men’ Observers of her political rise — and some who have sparred with her — say Gov. Janet Mills’s refusal to bow to President Trump is right in character.

This Week in Democracy – Week 12: Torture, Tariffs, and Trump Tyranny Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in the Trump second term.

Don't Believe Trump's Spin, the Polling on Tariffs is Terrible The White House tried to spin a fairy tale to Politico, but a brand new poll tells the real story

Trump is desperately trying to sell the story that everything is going great with the tariffs and that working-class voters are supporting what he is doing.
