His attorneys are probably happy about all those billable hours they'll be invoicing him for as they try to negotiate a settlement before this lands in a D.C. civil court, where D.C. jurors will gladly give this marine many millions from Mr. Sheehy's $100 million or more in personal wealth.

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

Montana's Gianforte Pleads Guilty, Won't Serve Jail Time In Assault On Journalist The representative-elect was given a six-month deferred sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a Guardian reporter. He also was sentenced to community service and anger management counseling.

Where are the fathers of these broken men? What's going on in their homes that led them to this life of violence? Has society been coddling them? That's what I want to know.

Well, uh, someone definitely needs to get professional help here

I'm in a slightly ornery mood so I'd better stay up several more hours to really stew in it and also assure myself a worse tomorrow.

Also have they given any reason why they keep doing it in Florida when... {gestures broadly at Florida}?

Playing the Unrivaled final in the 2,000-seat arena in Miami feels quiet and anticlimactic after watching the semis in a sold-out Barclays. This deserves a bigger venue.

George Washington loves Hanes t shirts, “three come within a single parcel, what wonders!” he exclaims

I won’t pretend to speak for them, no…no I’ve done something far worse…

NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs

Three or four of these despicable group chats have become public, but here's the thing: It's absolutely certain that there are HUNDREDS of group chats just like them that we'll never learn about. There's an entire generation of groyper Republicans, and in a few years they'll be running the party.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

its impossible to pick your favorite part. i dare you

Unpopular opinion but the Dems should be investing in this sort of "this must hit so hard if you're stupid" slop content – our side lost the kind of people who like this shit 95/5 in 2024, just drawing the "incredibly dumb guy" demo back to 70/30 GOP would mean landslide Dem wins

US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sent a memo to embassy staff joking about procreating while sheltering in place:

"If the extended time with your spouse results in the birth of your next child in about 9 months, I of course expect that you will want to name the little bugger after me!"

So, I had an interesting day.

A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.

And, the story of the mystery man.

After the hearing ended — and after not having raised it when they were in front of Lamberth — DOJ filed an “emergency” motion Wednesday afternoon asking the court to put on hold its Thursday deadline for BOP to provide notice of the protective order to all wardens of BOP facilities housing trans inmates. The motion gave no reason why the issue was not raised in court. It also noted that the plaintiffs oppose the motion. Lamberth did not rule on Wednesday, instead giving the plaintiffs until noon Thursday to provide their reasons for opposing to the motion, if they wish to do so.

Like, what are we doing here, folks?

You were literally in the judge's courtroom in the morning. What is this?

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

What is there to “muse about” re: Hitler’s politics?

It’s not as if Hitler was particularly secretive or mysterious about what he believed. Namely, genocidal hatred for minorities he considered to be sub-human.

“The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party started a group chat primarily for conservative students last fall — and within three weeks it was filled with racist slurs, someone wrote dozens of ways of violently killing Black people and the chat was renamed after what one member described as “Nazi heaven.” In WhatsApp conversations leaked to the Miami Herald, participants used variations of the n-word more than 400 times, regularly described women as “whores,” used slurs to talk about Jewish and gay people and mused about Hitler’s politics.”

I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a Democratic senator literally broke a military veteran’s forearm, which appears to be what happens here.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

You don't need Congress to declare a war, but you do need one to pay for it.🤡

Dems have the leverage needed to stop the war. I can't wait to see how they once again talk themselves into giving up all of that leverage and just going along with everything.

I initially thought that Joel was sharing an old news story because I didn’t realize that this is different from the New York/Arizona/Vermont/Arizona YOUNG Republican Nazi group chat.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

just real quick...

we MUST win the Senate seat in Georgia and re-elect Jon Ossoff.

before anybody gets carried away with sending millions of dollars to Texas, let's please make sure we fund our "must win" candidates first.
