"Nor will I, for my line is federal agents attacking me. Shy of that, all violence doled out with taxpayer dollars is fine by me."

Also of note, the war in Gaza is the only thing keeping Netanyahu from being tried for massive levels of corruption.

I'm glad all the hostages are out. I hope the ceasefire holds. But since Netanyahu has so much to gain from continuing the fighting, I doubt it will.

It's like every time people protest systemic racism, conservatives scream they are protesting America. Which kinda gives the game away.

And SCOTUS agrees. Because sometimes, you just have to decide that the Constitution is Unconstitutional.

I was in a frustrated mood, so I fired up Elden Ring.

I am not a smart man.

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.

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.

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

She's got an election upcoming election. Has to be semi-normal for a bit.

Once they do, it would be a spectacular chance to reform the police union.

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social Your books, going back to "Gulag" have been painfully prescient for these days. Thank you for documenting the oppressive past so I could scream the goddam obvious at people today.

It's always a good day when you can't text your political opinions to your family.

Tom @thbransfield.bsky.social · 3d

ICE should be lambasted until the heat death of the Universe.

The only...ONLY private enterprise in the Constitution is the goddam free press.

I am disgusted by how the 3rd estate has failed that distinction.

Tom @thbransfield.bsky.social · 3d

I'm sorry. I've seen your work and that skill and talent should be more than enough to support a family.

Tom @thbransfield.bsky.social · 3d

Yup, that makes perfect goddam sense. I will always love the ideals my country is supposed to espouse. I'll always hate the difference between them and reality.

No one should visit until the difference is reduced by several miles.
