Again: the pestilence, death, illness, and disability the USA is about to experience AT VOLUME are entirely the fault of Senator Bill Cassidy. Sen Bill Cassidy, with his deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr, is responsible for the loss of science and lifesaving care in the United States.

Senator Cassidy continues to feel great about himself, why do you ask?

Monarez declined to immediately resign and enlisted Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), chairman of the Senate's health committee who cast a pivotal vote for Kennedy's confirmation after securing commitments to protect vaccines, said three people with knowledge of those conversations. Cassidy privately pushed back on Kennedy's demands, the people said, further angering Kennedy, who lambasted Monarez for involving the senator.

He nearly died, other than never stopping whining for even a fraction of a second for six years.

That's the one that got me. "Crime" isn't enough anymore, it's gotta be Platoon on Pearl.

Chicago Latina Shot by Border Patrol Survives, Lawyers Up

“La Maggie” Martinez survived a federal shooting in Chicago. Now her attorney says body-cam footage shows the agents provoked it. The public deserves to see the tape.

If Portlanders in the trendy neighborhoods would like to shit themselves and flee I'd much appreciate it, I've been trying to afford a 3/2 there for the last 15 years.

Looking at this list I'd suggest that their unanimously voted successor would most be magnitudes worse.

The quote has been attributed to Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw:
She: What kind of woman do you think I am?
He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

If the GOP are giving away millions, BILLIONS of dollars, it's not the hoi polloi who get the big slices.

Rudy is SO good at this; not just setting up the systems, but explaining them in plain language.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 2d

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

I hate how eager and thrilled these people are to be violent, worthless suckers.

Mike doesn't know much about anything, but he for sure knows everything about the imaginary healthcare plan about which Marge knows nothing. 👍

As @vermontgmg.bsky.social says here, "How can anyone in Congress — Democrats or Republicans — make a budget 'deal' with this administration if we now know the President is going to ignore implementing any part of the 'deal' he wants?" Read the whole thing: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Louder for the spineless in the back!!

whats the point in "dealing" with the Trump administration when this is the person executing the deal, and is openly promising to violate the laws and break any agreeement? If you want to bargain for something in the shutdown fight, make firing Vought a condition of any funding package.

Mike Black @mikeblack114.bsky.social · 2d

This is rampant lawlessness

The law says what it says, and Russ Vought doesn't get to unilaterally change that

Dems are actually winning this one. Chuck don't blink. Don't fucking blink. Let them sort it out. Even Marge is tired of this.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: What's your message to Democrats ahead of the next vote to open up the government?

TRUMP: They're the ones that started it. It's almost like a kamikaze attack by them. You want to know the truth? This is like a kamikaze attack

Every one of these whiny losers imagines themselves as the heroic stars of their own tv shows. Sadly, US media indulges those fantasies.

NPR has been cooked for a while but its pathetic to see a once prestigious news outlet desperately try to make an overtly autocratic abuse of power sound reasonable

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Trump's power to deploy National Guard, explained

I don't want to put your message on the home screens of the ICE grotesqueries' phones, I want to put it on the screens of anyone who might consider a friendship or romance with them. Good people don't do these things, they aren't good people.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Folks out here acting like we aren't living in a post-shame world, as if shame is still a painful emotion. These people don't need to be shamed, they need to be incarcerated. Shoplifters don't, THESE people do.

President Trump has finally told the truth about something. He’s embraced Project 2025. trib.al/fIIu6KU

And now? According to the Project 2025 Tracker, a community-driven initiative, the Trump administration has already checked off 48 percent of the project’s goals.
