Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

We’re Number Two! How Trump ceded the future to China

Read @pkrugman.bsky.social describe how Trump sold out America for a hill of [soy]beans.

If only there were a way to convey to MAGAts how Trump has made America weak.

Yes, an important test for the midterms.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Oh Texas, you gon' and f'ed 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.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

I don't know if the Radiohead reference is intentional or not, but it was lovely and perfect (intentional or not).

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

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

N.C. counties that busted budgets after Helene still waiting for FEMA to pay them back A year after Hurricane Helene, FEMA hasn’t reimbursed millions of dollars spent on cleanup and recovery, upending local budgets and hindering reconstruction.

"Since Hurricane Helene devastated the community in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the county government has spent nearly $50 million on cleanup and recovery — while getting reimbursed only $4 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency..."

Please spend an hour of your life, whenever you have time, with this conversation with anti-extremism expert Heidi Beirich.

The majority, and our institutions, still aren't aware of how mainstream white supremacy has become in the modern GOP.

Truth Social post - "Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, & others have called saying that the future of SF is great."

If & when federal courts (& SCOTUS) insist on deferring to the President's determination that deploying the Natl Guard is necessary for the enforcement of federal law, safety, etc. - please remember Trump says he's making such decisions based in part on what the CEOs of Salesforce & NVIDIA tell him.

Mississippians Say ‘No Kings’ From Kosciusko to Gulfport Thousands of Mississippians took to the streets in No Kings protests on Saturday, Oct. 18, from small towns to the state’s largest cities.

Yep, we've seen the massive #NoKings rallies, with tens of thousands gathered in big cities across the country.

But y'all look at this small protest of 11 people in the small, small town of Kosciusko, Mississppi.

That's democracy, too.

Speaker goes full brand manager for Trump

Good morning, Philly! Looking forward to talking with the Association of Corporate Counsel later today about my book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.”

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

He doesn't want the headlines about it crossing 218 signatures, but they can't even file it until the House is back in regular session anyway. Johnson has made this ridiculous big fight out of it for only a very marginal and very temporary benefit, bordering on nothing. Dumb even on his own terms.

The vice president of the United States is a clownish dipshit, Exhibit 64,532

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Live feed of Russell Vought during the shutdown.

Same people who could care less about 300,000 real Black women losing their jobs over the abolishment of DEI are crying over removing one fictitious white man from a restaurant logo.

It should come as no surprise that the same people who want to protect confederate monuments, erase Black history, and abolish civil rights, are attempting to deify a white supremacist.
