I appreciate that Murphy is being clear about this.
at the same time...like, he's a senator? why is he demanding we do something? isn't he in a better position to do something? 1
Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely.
If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...
Ørsted's 704MW Revolution Wind offshore wind project started delivering power to New England's electric grid yesterday: orsted.com/en/media/new... 🔌💡
Until recently, fossil gas/nuclear usually made up ~88% of New England’s energy mix
Between new offshore wind & new HydroQuebec transmission coming online, we’re down to 57% gas/nukes - HUGE shift
You had me until “unless and until.”
I see no reason Congressional Dems ought to help Trump and his GOP enablers with anything. Total obstruction is the only appropriate response.
If you're worried people won't know what you mean - do this "Trump wants to force Republicans to pass the Voter Elimination Act. What that thing will 'save' is him from impeachment and prison for his endless crimes."
Please stop referring to the Voter Elimination Act by the Orwellian moniker MAGA gave it, which makes it sound good. We do not need to repeat their words (ahem, "Patriot Act," "Citizens United") but rather make clear exactly what's at stake.
What’s happening here is that the 30% of the country that wants, like Mike Johnson, to impose its right wing religious values on the country using state power is falsely accusing the 1.3% of the US population that is Muslim of wanting to impose their religion on the country using state power.
the ideal amount I would like to think about measles is zero and I resent that I had that once and no longer do
Fascists, by their nature, regard expertise as disloyal and invalid
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."
What if the Iraq War but on a compressed time frame, run by ppl who are twice as blood thirsty and half as competent
Either he's lying or he really does not know. Either should be scandalous.
A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

These ghouls act like they've discovered some novel secret: "Hey, guys, GUYS! Did you know that we can just kill people whenever we want?" Yes, you absolute idiot, that's ALWAYS been true. We just chose not to, for good and self-interested reasons which the entire world is about to learn yet again.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
The Trump regime is still hiding Epstein records detailing an allegation that Trump sexually assaulted a girl who was age 13-15. We know these records existed at some point. The law requires their release.
Calling on ICE to investigate itself?
And, to extend on both the Powell rule and something @profsaunders.bsky.social alluded to early in her thread, the elimination of USAID means that in a post-war stabilization and reconstruction world, the USG has thrown away one of its primary (if not THE primary) toolboxes.
@whitehouse.senate.gov did a VERY long speech of Trump and Epstein's ties w/Russia yesterday.

HEY MAINE PRIMARY VOTERS:
If you don't like Mills but also don't want to vote for the guy who claims he didn't recognize a Nazi SS insignia on his own chest for 18 years even though he also claims to be a WWII military history buff, you might consider this woman.
Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and nominated Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.
Thank you to @legalmiga.bsky.social for the Thread on Mullin that inspired this video
Unexpectedly if you are stupid
Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
