Back for the snacks.

🔥 @redstateupdate.bsky.social (MURFREESBORO): “Where are all the anti-tyranny people now?? The government is shooting people in their cars, and the people who wanted to rise up against the government, guess what they’re doing? Applying for jobs with ICE.”

Leavitt confirmed that Pete Hegseth authorized the second strike on a drug boat

Meanwhile, Leavitt confirms it happened. Then tied herself in knots defending it.

Damn.

Somehow, after slashing thousands of jobs via doge, this seems disingenuous

did not fail to notice that Miller's diatribe at Kirk's memorial service fiercely echoed Gobeils words.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

THREAD: THE TEXTS: I’m not ready to comment on the veracity of the alleged texts sent from the shooter to his roommate, but if the FBI fabricated them because they have marching orders to pin this on the LGBTQ community or "antifa", then the shooter is going to walk free. 1/

I Rather agree with Dan,and this was from Chump's prior meeting
With Boss Putin.......

No one in this administration is qualified for their job.

Meanwhile you excuse a pedophile

A sad moment for the Senate and the country.

Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air.

How can they vote to confirm these people?

NH is in the race to the bottom in education, among other things. Props to Scanlon for this though.

Venezuelan makeup artist returns home, describes torture during El Salvador detention A makeup artist who became the face of more than 250 Venezuelan migrants deported by the U.S. to El Salvador's most notorious prison arrived home to his family on Wednesday after what he described as "an encounter with torture and death."

Andry Hernandez, a gay makeup artist deported by the U.S. to El Salvador's most notorious prison, arrived home to his family after what he described as "an encounter with torture and death." He said prisoners were beaten, shot with rubber projectiles, held in dark cells, and served rotten food.

Has anyone asked Governor Kelley Ayotte how she plans to fund a NH State Emergency Management Agency (NHSEMA?) now that Kristi Noem has told us this is a state responsibility?

Perhaps a state rep can raise it in the House or Senate?

This can’t be repeated enough:

Masked soldiers are disappearing people off our city streets and it’s not some post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel.

It’s actual America, 2025.

The measure of a truly successful country is not its armies or prisons but the well being of its people. In successful nations, healthcare, education & child care are highest quality & free. Prisons are for rehabilitation not punishment.
Trump is focused on the wrong things

Several times recently, I've been lured to thread on threads only to discover it's filled with the most hateful MAGAs. Is that the predominant vibe now?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Horrifying.

Terrorists

This is how DHS officers arrested a father of three United States Marines.

They beat him, threw him to the ground, and pepper sprayed him.

Don’t look away—this is the United States under Trump
