Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This is how i feel.

I dont fully understand why it bothers me so much, but it does

oh my god they actually did it lmao

So funny

If you want a sense of just how bad Tucker has gotten these days, look no further than the fact that a lot of right-wingers right now are sounding a lot like Media Matters when they talk about him.

100%

do you have any idea how bad things must be behind the scenes - how hellish the underlying data must be - for this guy to say something like this

NEW: Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) called the indictment of Kat Abughazaleh and five others an "alarming abuse of power."

Full statement below:

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

100% agree

She has fortitude and is smart and savvy

Kat is an extraordinary talent and an exceptional leader. She’s in the right here and has to fortitude for this fight.

This is a nakedly partisan attack on her and all of our First Amendment rights.

CBS’ evening news program failed to cover Trump's pardon of Binance founder last night — while its counterparts all did.

Another reminder about the importance of fighting instead of folding.

Truly

Oop. Ty. Gotta fix that

Relatable

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are.

We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

Right-wing media are quickly finding people and institutions to blame for Charlie Kirk's death After Charlie Kirk’s killing on September 10, some in right-wing media called for retaliation against left-wing groups and other targets of their ire, and President Donald Trump’s administration has r...

Right-wing media quickly found a wide range of people and institutions to blame for Charlie Kirk's death

The Trump administration is consolidating American media in the hands of right-wing billionaires. @chrislhayes.bsky.social explains in under two minutes ⬇️

Bingo. Yes, he definitely will use things like this against the right.

Yes!

Exactly. People don’t want this, but you gotta give them something to grab onto.

Right now, they just seem like a drowning person…grabbing them just means you drown too.

It's not just the authoritarianism — it's how shameless, how *gleeful* this administration is about it

Truth.

Power perceived is power achieved.
