Preston Brooks resigned after caning Charles Sumner (and then was resoundingly reelected anyway) but we are maybe in a more fucked-up era than the antebellum period bsky.app/profile/elkm...

Visualize for one second the media response to AOC breaking someone’s arm. Sheehy is a nobody, has zero clickbait value.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"

Lawmakers anticipate Trump will seek emergency funding for ‘open-ended’ Iran war Top Trump administration officials briefed Congress on the U.S. military onslaught Tuesday but did not say whether they will ask for supplemental defense funding.

It is an absolute non-starter to provide any funding for another forever war. Congress has already appropriated a trillion dollars for military spending and now you want more?

With some Senate democrats already hedging, where does the rest of Dem leadership stand?

Trump & Netanyahu are fighting a Muslim civil war and are too clueless to know they are doing it.

Shocking. Not.

Someone reminded me today that part of Project 2025 is to force 12-13 year old girls to marry older men and force them to have their babies.

They (GOP = Gross Old Pedophiles) want to lower the age of consent, so they can pedo every single day.

📌BREAKING VIA NYT: During the first year of the Trump regime, the V.A. cut roughly 14,400 jobs at its health care division. This is a striking turnaround after years of growth supported by members of both parties.
Tell me again this draft-dodging punk doesn't think our troops are suckers and losers.
