If a pharmaceutical company could mass produce whatever compassion pills Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to have been taking lately, we could save the world

BREAM: How do you deal with the noise, left and right, that you get?

AMY CONEY BARRETT: I tune it out. I only want to know what is said about me in the news on a need to know basis. If I absolutely need to know, then my assistant or my husband will tell me.

This may be my favorite image from Portland so far.

The chicken suit guy noted how the right wing social media influencers accompanying Noem described Portland, and affluent foodie town, as “looking like a third-world country. It’s just clearly not.” donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Post from Noem's social media guy: "BREAKING - DHS Sec just stared down violently Antifa rioters" and its just a picture of a guy in a chicken suit

Q: "The Republican governor of Oklahoma...said 'We believe in a federalist system...Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma.'...What's your response?"

Vance: "I'd say to Governor Stitt... Illinois is a different case from Chicago."

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

A Pulitzer for investigative journalism should be awarded to any reporter who can identify a major official in the Trump administration who is *not* a certifiable wacko

Before targeting Trump foes, Pulte practiced on his own family, per @
Brian Slodysko and Chris Megerian. He accused his grandfather’s widow of insider trading, was tied to a website trashing an aunt as a "fake Christian" and called another relative "a fat slob." apnews.com/article/trum...

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
