What are they hiding?

Like everyone, I hope this is a lasting peace deal. That said, it's pretty disgusting to watch some political journalists trip over each other in competition to muse about a Nobel Peace Prize for a president who is currently deploying troops against American cities, violently weaponizing an apparently unaccountable police force against American citizens, suppressing freedom of the press, shutting down free speech for corporations and campuses to leverage bribery deals, openly threatening and cajoling federal judges, cutting many billions in foreign aid that will lead to millions of deaths globally, engaging in the extrajudicial murder of foreign citizens, placating dictatorial regimes with widely documented human rights abuses, and undermining global stability with third-rate mafia tactics. It's tragic to witness how quickly informed journalists are folding to the fascism materializing in front of us because they don't want to be targeted next.

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

BREAKING: Letitia James has been indicted on one count of bank fraud in Virginia, charge brought directly by Lindsey Halligan, just like the Comey indictment.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I’m shocked

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Greta Thunberg, hands down, Nobel peace prize. For her diligent and empathetic activism against the war in Palestine and against those that wage war against our environment.

‘No backsies’: The REAL reason Mike Johnson won’t swear in new Dem rep

@chrislhayes.bsky.social explains precisely why Mike Johnson is stalling the new Dem rep's swear-in over the Epstein vote.

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

In 9th Cir argument on appeal of Judge Immergut order, Judge Nelson opines,
“The Pres gets to direct his resources as he deems fit, and it just seems a little counterintuitive to me that Portland can come in and say, ‘No. You need to do it differently.’”

Really crazy statement and a bad augury.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

The difference between Canada and the US.

i know grand juries have a relatively low bar for bringing indictments but i find myself wondering WTF is up with some of these grand jurors

CNN: We have just learned that Letitia James has just been indicted by the DOJ

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

...not taking a stand in that conflict, but this is an interesting question...

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

An up or down vote on extending the ACA subsidies, and I would add a separate up or down vote the same day to release the Epstein files.

Hmmm.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
