California voter here 🤚🏽

Not cool. Judge Katie Porter for yourself, but all the whiteboards in the world don’t make up for losing your cool when the questions get uncomfortable.

Even worse, flipping out on your own support team. This isn’t sexist, it’s about staying level-headed under pressure…

It's not the questions became uncomfortable, but it was the same question over and over again. I'm with her and fuck it, asked and answered.

Some of the same people excusing Katie Porter also made excuses for Fetterman.

Well…they obviously learned NOTHING.

Incredible Congressional hearing opportunity here which is to ask Oz if he knows how numbers work.
Like, Katie Porter whiteboard stuff: "Ok, if the drug was $100 per month, and it was reduced by 650%, what would the price be?"

Wondering if Katie Porter is going to come back with a new ad where she speaks straight to camera and says something like:

“I’m Katie Porter and can I be a bitch sometimes?”

“Absolutely”

“But bitches get shit done and I want to get shit done for California.”

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The war on rainbow crosswalks has come to Texas.

After DeSantis cracked down and tore up rainbow crosswalks across Florida, the community has resisted in protest.

Now, Abbott is doing the same in Texas, seemingly at the direction of Libs of Tiktok.

The War on Rainbow Crosswalks Comes to Texas

A Republican state lawmaker called Texas “the biggest funder of transgenderism in America”...wishful thinking.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Whoever is involved should be arrested, except they are their own. Minors can not be detained or questioned without a parent or guardian present. Full stop.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

It also reminds me that we, if willing to think, are still learning about the human psyche from authors and composers and playwrights from years past. Must be why MAGA wants to ban books and other media that make people really think, rather than trod along with the masses.

I like that. I never read the play but saw it performed several times and I like this ending the best. But the the short clip I responded to... can't imagine she submitted. Which is why I'd love to see the rest of it.

BTW, I love this performance and wish I could see all of it.
