The algorithm gifted me with her Instagram account a while back. It is THE sweetest thing.

1) pic of Melissa and Mark Hortman 2) pic of Melissa Hortman and dog Gilbert

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Both of these truths can be intolerable and tragic at the same exact time.

They can file articles of impeachment whenever they like. Losing battle or not, I would rather they get this on the congressional record than throw up their hands. Also I can’t make sure the democrats win the majority next year and neither can you.

Could this dude be any fucking weaker I swear to god

What?!

Lmao ivies don’t hand out full rides cmon

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Are we really fucking doing this.

Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Thank you, Rep. Thompson! Get them!!

You are absolutely on the wrong side of this.

I swear to GOD

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.

The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

Also, wipe that shit-eating grin off your face.

Slick son of a bitch ordered all state employees back to the office full time and now he’s ordering California residents to pay attention to his sales pitch on AI, for traffic, and for family. I hate him!!!

Are you kidding me? Do YOU care about traffic? Do YOU care about residents being able to spend the most time possible with their families? Do YOU care about keeping smog levels down?

Then explain your back to work order for state employees, pal.

Lol Christopher is finally making a major comeback thank you Mr. Trump

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

This is exactly it

👇🎯 We are having trouble using proper terminology because it requires us to fully accept exactly what has happened to our country & wrestle with the fact that every single one of our elected representatives in Congress is violating their oaths of office by not immediately impeaching & removing him.

Holy shit they are ZONKED

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes? Con: LOL no... no not those views Me: So....deregulation? Con: Haha no not those views either Me: Which views, exactly? Con: Oh, you know the ones

It really is one of the definitive posts of all time. @ndrew.bsky.social

truly a blessed time to live in where the avatar of masculinity for one whole political party is a heavyset broadway-obsessed bitchy old queen on the tammy faye bakker makeup plan

Paging Susan Collins.

Just don’t eat it by yourself 😔

Yeah man thank goodness for the incisive and always trenchant reporting of the New York Times! PLEASE, what is wrong with you people?

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

@schumer.senate.gov thank you for your service!!!
