In August 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Bondi, reading from the Roy Cohn playbook, joins the many Trump acolytes who perform for the boss at a Senate hearing, Brett Kavanaugh being the most salient example.

We must pay billions to farmers

Because we cut off their customers with tariffs

And pay billions to Argentina

Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited

Kavanaugh saying that these stops are brief and painless is like Barrett saying that carrying a pregnancy to term would have no effect on a woman because it’s easy to give up a baby

I bet it's like public schools -- they're all bad except of course the one my kid goes to. So individual Democrats across the country are probably popular in a way the party as a whole is not. And it is those individuals -- not the Dempcratic Party -- who will win the races against MAGA opponents.

I asked the FBI to expedite the release of the tape of "border czar" Tom Homan being bribed.

FBI said it couldn't see how there wasn't an urgent need to provide the public more information about (checks notes) an active federal official taking bribes and denied expedition of the request.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.

Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

I'm trying to figure out how shaving beards and doing pull-ups is going to develop an anti-drone defense system. Obviously Hegseth isn't thinking about such things.
