#ProudBlue Believer in democracy, "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people"--and that means all the people, of all colors, all genders and gender preferences, all creeds; the only exceptions being bigots and fascists of all stripes

All flights at El Paso airport in Texas halted for 10 days for 'security reasons,' FAA says The notice covers the airspace over El Paso and the neighboring community of Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

FAA: β€œNo pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM (Notice to Airmen)...temporary flight restrictions for Special Security Reasons.”

10 days, no air traffic, "special security reasons." Why? FWIW, El Paso is immediately across the border from Ciudad Juarez.

To be clear, they were shooting down mylar balloons w/ a high-energy counter-drone laser. It was "planned," but not coordinated w/ the Federal Aviation Administration. Customs & Border Protection was "physically operating" the DoD laser w/ Defense personnel present.

Nothing says Small Dick Energy (SDE) like building a 250-ft arch no one wants. Obstructing flight paths? SDE! Blocking views? SDE! Trying to out-dick France? Oui, oui, SDE! Just another reminder: No matter how hard Trump tries, Washington's is still bigger.

The Epstein files come for Hollywood royalty | CNN As stars like Chappell Roan leave his talent agency, LA power broker Casey Wasserman decides what to do next.

"Staying quiet isn't something I can do in good conscience - especially in a moment when men in power are so often protected, excused, or allowed to move on without consequence. Pretending this isn't a big deal is not an option for me."

Hi friends,

As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement β€” this is terror and an abuse of power.

Bondi launched an attack on Jamie Raskin, the Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, but managed the feat of sounding like a teenager in the middle of a meltdown, waving her outrage like a plastic toy. A grand display of political theater where ridicule steals the spotlight.

Rape continues to be something where the shame most often falls on the victim and not the rapist. People who find the courage to speak out and say, "I was raped" aren't doing it for kicks, I assure you.

Believe the victims / survivors.

It's weird how Republicans call liberals groomers, but they're totally fine covering up for and protecting Trump, a sexual predator, convicted rapist, and pedophile.

Great to see Jimmy Kimmel adopting a name we have been using a while for the Trump-Epstein Files. Donald Trump is the undisputed star of Trump -Epstein files. He has been mentioned over 1 million times. Donald Trump has earned his name at the top of the Trump-Epstein files. #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Trump pardons 5 former NFL players for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking President Donald Trump has pardoned five former NFL players for crimes that include perjury, counterfeiting and drug trafficking.

Maga loves pedophiles and drug traffickers. Why do they keep pardoning drug traffickers? Who is this benefiting? I'm so tired of the mixed message. Is trafficking illegal drugs ok or not? #pinks #proudblue

Convicted Felon Donald Trump isn't a president. He's a White House squatter looking to fill his pockets and the pockets of those who do the filling. The Convicted Felon doesn't GAF about the environment or people's health.

None of these detained children is a criminal. Yet the regime uses them to pressure their families to give up, pack up, and leave without due process.

Pam Bondi Seemed to Track Pramila Jayapal's Epstein Searches A stunning photo at Wednesday's blockbuster House hearing revealed AG Pam Bondi seemed to be tracking a House Democrat's "search history" on the Epstein Files.

We actually learned a lot from Pam Bondi today. We learned she cares more about the stock market than victims of child rape. We learned she tracks House members search history and we learned that Pam Bondi is a fucking hate filled bitch.
