My father was a racist bigot. He loved “All In The Family,” until I started calling him Archie Bunker. I knew better at a young age. These young adults know better. But they want to blame others for their weirdness. Their inability to fit in. Hating others gives them power. Especially in a group.

Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

As someone who’s been a frequent target, none of this shocks me. I don’t expect real consequences from the right because I doubt today is the first day they heard about it.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.:

STOP TOLERATING ABUSIVE PUBLIC SPEECH!!
The president of our country has set a very dark tone for young people in our country. He has verbally attacked half of the country, calling us the enemy within. Where do you think these young people get the idea that it’s okay to speak this way?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

They are breaking the government deliberately so that they can now say, “See? Government doesn’t work.” Then they will privatize it so that their billionaire buddies can make even more billions.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 13h

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

ChrisCatMom🐈📎 @christhecatmom.bsky.social · 12h

Too bad these ICE thugs aren’t shooting pepper balls at Little Gnome Johnson. He’d be saying it’s over the line then, wouldn’t he? He’s supposedly a Christian but shooting a praying pastor is just fine.

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 13h

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22h

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
