Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

I posted this @Garrison Hayes video a while back, but IMO it is one of the best deconstructions I’ve seen on Charlie Kirk’s dishonest use of “data” to promote racist stereotypes:

This is where the state’s national guard should be protecting its citizens

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 1d

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Starting salary for ICE (Hired J6 thugs, PB’s etc.) $100,000 with a $50,000 sign on bonus.

That’s our money paying for government sanctioned abductions, kidnappings, imprisonment & forced servitude with 0 Due Process

This is wrong & we all know it!

Our Military must act.

Start taking down ICE.

Speaker Johnson calls Saturday’s No Kings event a “hate America rally” run by “the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.” It’s the old debater’s trick—conceal a weak argument by attacking your opponent, even if you have to make it up!

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

When federally enhanced tax credits expire at the end of the year, some Oklahomans will see their health insurance premiums increase by over 75%.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
