Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

A very good read and word to the wise. ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Some scenes from the Army 250th today. We decided not to let the event be hijacked by the parade tonight. So glad to see others there. #resist #nokings #armystrong

Thousands without power in Alexandria following Friday night storms | ALXnow As of 11 p.m. on Friday (May 16), more than 14,250 Dominion Energy customers in Alexandria are experiencing a power outage following severe thunderstorms that passed through the area earlier this even...

Update: 5+ hours in, down to 19% of ALX (13k) + another 30k out in FFX. No estimate for repair or word of cause from @dominionenergy.bsky.social But found camp light and charged all devices at a friend's. Pups is dealing well with his first outage.

Current sitch: 90 mins after 5 min violent storm, power still out in 25% of ALX (15k) + another 28k out in adjacent FFX. I expect it will be a long night.

I've said it before (ever since I saw her new haircut/hairstyle): Amy Coney Barrett is going to save democracy. #thingsIneverthoughtIdsay #ruleoflaw

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS the Trump administration’s unlawful reorganization of the federal government. Congratulations to @democracyforward.org, their co-counsel and clients on their amazing work in securing this victory.

This is amazing.

Confirmation could be difficult. Pirro is believed to have only tenuous support from Grassley & Thune, though she has the unqualified support of Bartles & Jaymes.

So, if we can survive until July, #southpark will have new episodes chronicling the downfall of the US (go Canada 🍁)

this! 100% So many R friends/relatives go on & on about transgender issues but have no idea D. Cheney endorsed Kamala, or that former national security officials signed a letter, or even that he intentionally took classified docs & didn't return them when asked. How can we break their news bubble???

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Imbeciles are running the United States Government

If it's already my birthday at home but not yet where we are, does it count?

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMa ...). The post reads: "What stage of capitalism is this?" Below this, there is a headline from CNN Business that states: "Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacant by undocumented immigrants." The post was made 7 hours ago.

We’re in an era of unbelievable headlines.

This is why you don’t set up illegal Signal group chats for covert ops when mercury is retrograde.

BREAKING: Rep. Castro obliterates FBI Director Kash Patel and DNI Tulsi Gabbard: “The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified is a lie. It’s is a lie to the country.”

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it.

This keeps up, wonder how many countries will pull out of the 2028 Olympics in LA.

HERE's WHY YOU CAN'T CHECK OUT: Right wing media IS KEEPING THEIR VIEWERS IN THE DARK. People really don't know what's happening, let alone that it's objectionable. You can't stop something if you don't even know about it. At a minimum, we need to be aware of everything being done. Stay informed!

it's a disgusting capitulation!
