Which planet tho?

We are under attack by our own federal government.

Oh good, at least someone isn’t ignoring that this happened — as the Sunday shows and press corps say nothing.

Felt like we were losing our minds.

Yeah and listen to immigration reporters next time instead of dismissing them as fabulists and hysterics

Breakthrough the noise:

This step in DC is a pilot project for militarizing other American streets.

President Trump just said so.⬇️

Even when DC violent crime is down 26 percent.

Reminder of August leaked memo (via @gregsargent.bsky.social): newrepublic.com/article/1987...

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period. A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.

Trump's attempt to militarize and federalize D.C. is an incredibly dangerous acceleration of his fascist takeover of the nation

AND

It's clear he's pursuing it to distract from the Epstein Files

His craven personal self-preservation is driving this escalation and that makes it all the scarier.

"DC is our home. Trump can't have it. Press conference & rally. Monday, August 11 2025 @ 10 AM. 815 16th Street NW. bit.ly/free-dc-our-home."

For two nights federal law enforcement agents have been out in DC. Now, Trump has announced a press conference Monday to unveil even more plans for DC. We don't know what they are.

DC BELONGS TO DC RESIDENTS, NOT TRUMP. Join us Monday @ 10 AM for a press conference + rally: bit.ly/free-dc-our-...

Heritage originally sold itself as a wonky policy shop for conservative ideas, but these days it’s more of an affirmative action program for mediocre white guys.

Put “Heritage” on your resume these days and you might as well affix the asterisk we’re all seeing

Flowing in from my pocket to trump’s concrete “rose” garden

Fair question: Why did the Stanford Daily have to do this?

Why not Stanford University?

And Mike Johnson dismissing everyone before voting about Epstein files

Already been using this at work, it's an incredible gift to the public

"I locked myself out on the roof. Send someone up with keys and a fresh Depends."

it is 2025 who the fuck would believe consuming raw milk is sa…
oh right

Remember kids, technically correct is the best kind of correct.

NASA Goddard is in real jeopardy!!! Employees received a memo that center is closing the cafeterias, vending, visitor center, rec center, etc. Oct 1, which is start of the fiscal year.

HQ Cheeto lackeys trying to kill NASA before Congress can act.

Today's Republican Party is almost completely defined by how far they'll go to protect a pedophile.

A reminder: The plan to create a COVID-Tracker website by Google alà the Google Flu-Tracker was cancelled by Alphabet after Jared Kushner's brother wanted to get into the business of collecting data himself.

Note: He never actually built anything and more people suffered and died because of it.

Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia The Senate on Saturday approved the nomination of Jeanine Pirro​, confirming the cable news personality to a top prosecutor post in Washington, D.C.

This timeline sucks.

Another alcoholic thug sailed through.

Imagine getting fired because math hurt a man’s feelings. We’re being governed by a walking Yelp review.

I only see rallies scheduled for El Cajon and Escondido. Are there any more in San Diego County tomorrow?

This makes me itchy

Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.

This guy hits the nail on the head
