Yes. And it’s good to know I can continue not watching Jimmy Fallon.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Well, if we’re going to prosecute people for lying to Congress…

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

I don't want to alarm anyone, but it seems possible that Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. doesn't know what he's talking about in the slightest.

Sorry to get political here, but I just have a hunch.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Ghislane Maxwell is a child sex trafficker that Trump just gave immunity to in exchange for her silence on him.

Wanna bet she only names democrats now and magically gets pardoned in a few years?

Let’s hope this would be the response today as well.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Don’t Say Vote: NC GOPers Want to Bar Election Officials From Encouraging Turnout Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

No, this is not a joke. This is real.

North Carolina Republicans have introduced a sweeping elections bill that, among other steps, would bar election officials from encouraging or promoting voter turnout. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...

Pam Bondi Reportedly Created 1,000 Witnesses to the Jeffrey Epstein File - emptywheel In her bid to politicize the search for Jeffrey Epstein files, Pam Bondi created one thousand witnesses to what might be in the file.

Anyway, I RTed Durbin's letter several times, and did a post. Meanwhile, there are still LOTS of people whining that Dems aren't messaging on Epstein.

Great post, worth a read on a day full of symbolism. #nokings

Pride matters because right now, someone believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. Congressional Equality Caucus.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.
 
That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.
