Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

Fascist republicans have confirmed idiot MAGA lunatic Herschel Walker as US Ambassador to the Bahamas for no other reason than to give yet another deranged unqualified cultist a title with fancy taxpayer funded salary for a job he doesnโ€™t give a flying fuck about.

Did you notice how she had notes on each Democratic Senator, that she sorted through each time, to spew out some gotcha nonsense which they werenโ€™t going to respond to? Planned ad hominem attacks for the purpose of obfuscation.

Today is a good day to remember how MAGA republicans treated the brutal assassination attempt against Paul Pelosi as if it were a joke. Iโ€™ll never forget that.

Her body language and those spiteful words leaving her nasty mouth, were both embarrassing and yet satisfying to watch her dig her own grave!!

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

The Senate voted to confirm Neil Jacobs as the new head of the NOAA. Jacobs previously served as acting director during the first Trump administration, a period marked by the โ€œSharpiegateโ€ hurricane forecast controversy.

They should mute every witness who speaks over the committee members. Basically they should mute every witness until it is their time to speak.

There are consequences. Prosecution for perjury and/or lying to Congress by the โ€” wait for it โ€” Department of Justice.

Congress needs the authority to punish on their own, with a dungeon in the basement of the Capitol building to hold the prisoners.

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

A split-screen image showing (top) a face view of an elongated ant standing on a reflective surfave, facing us with toothy brown jaws held 180 degrees open, and (bottom), the same ant with jaws closed, the bluntly toothed tips held together.

A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.

The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.

Theyโ€™re really excelling at selecting woefully underqualified individuals. The Justice Department has appointed retired Marine Corps Colonel Daren K. Margolin as the new head of its immigration court system.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
