In a moment of sheer brilliance, Rep. Billy Long of Missouri, who once worked as an auctioneer, drowned out loony #LauraLoomer as she disrupted a hearing, by using his auctioneer voice. 🤣🤣🤣

In 2020, Trump's FBI had such a hard time finding crimes connected to anti-fascist protesters that they teamed up with the Proud Boys to monitor protests and plan ahead for counter-protests.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

Congratulations to @teamsters.bsky.social Local 210 workers at Perrigo in the Bronx on your strong new contract.

Workers shouldn't have to strike to win dignity and respect on the job — but sometimes that's what it takes.

Screenshot of a tweet that reads: "Teamsters Local 210 has officially ratified a new 3-year contract at @PerrigoCompany and ended the 16 day strike. Huge victory, no concessions, 3 year contract, generous raises, retirement, health insurance and Juneteenth as a paid holiday. #solidarityworks"

A leader of the Federal Communications Commission is blasting Disney’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in the face of “government pressure” that she says violates the First Amendment and endangers free speech.
