"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

They’re coming to houses in the Twin Cities with M4s and suppressors… Not to mention the chemical weapons.
Good luck.

Ask anyone in Mpls. I got followed by agents leaving breakfast with my grandma this morning.
We get followed all the time.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Limiting it to the two women is also not what we should do: the entire GOP is complicit.

Not one Democratic Senator voted to protect pedophiles.

Every single republican senator voted to protect pedophiles.

Because ALL of them are the “deciding vote.” Attributing it to her is rooted in misogyny, and takes responsibility from every other GOP member.

Another round of paint, and it’s the perfect tiny library desk.
Pull out the drawer for a music stand, flip the top down to type or write, and there is a decent amount of closed storage.

Then it came here and was painted to match our old kitchen (ironically, the library’s ceiling color). From the kitchen it was stripped and painted white to go in the office, when the office became the kid’s room… the plan was to put it here.

A small secretary desk is tucked into a wall next to a doorway. There are construction materials to its right and paint and stain cans on the floor. 
The desk and the walls are painted the same color: Sherwin Williams Riverway, and the desk has two brass knobs and a brass handle.

This little secretary desk has lived many lives already. It started as 1970s wood-look formica in my grandma’s house, and now it’s an installed piece in our basement library.

It went from Grandma’s to my sister’s, where it was scuff sanded and painted midcentury-mustard.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

So now Hitler, I mean, Trump, gets his own SS/Gestapo which will be bigger than the Russian military. He wants you to be afraid. Very afraid.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time.

The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag
And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.
