Yes, it’s anti-Semitic.

No, it’s not up for debate.

No, he didn’t mean shyster.

We’re good?

Sometimes it’s permissible to hate.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

My god

Connected by trains, maybe?

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican.

You can’t. It would never happen.

Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia.
Sickening:

I long for the day we have a president who doesn’t call other humans “scum”

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication?

RFK JR: I did not fact check

RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate

RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Seems like “forget about intelligence” should be the GOP slogan from here on out.

Happy Juneteenth

If you’re the senate majority leader and you’re not sure what to do, here’s a song to help you remember:

Thune Thune Bo Bhune
Banana Fanna Expel Mike Lee

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

🤦🏼‍♀️

Seems relevant.

What the eff is wrong with this country??

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

If this can happen to a United States Senator, it can happen to anyone.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Holy shit. This is @padilla.senate.gov

They just forcibly arrested a U.S. Senator.

Vance: Hey ChatGPT, what can I post to seem more human and likable - less like the monster that I truly am?

A picture of JD Vance tweeting “About to see Les Miserables with POTUS at the Kennedy Center. Me to Usha: so what’s this about? A barber who kills people? Usha; [hysterical laughter]” Followed by “That’s apparently a different thing called “Sweeney Todd”

Sorry but this is total LARP, 0.00% chance the guy who went to Yale Law and converted to Catholicism because he thought they were right on the issues has never heard of Les Mis

These men need someone to remind them of how to function in society. We have rules. We have laws. We have systems that dictate decorum. And no matter how rich you are, you have to follow them.
