At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.
Republicans run the White House, Congress and Supreme Court on the principle that the only role Dems can play is bailing the GOP out from facing the consequences of their own actions.
They expect Dems to clean up after them and save them from voters’ blame, and sadly some Dems want to do just that.

47 needs to be removed from office for all our safety.
Yet they feel no urgency to report that.
The thrill of fascism is their drug.
Their failure makes them even more defensive.

White "journalists" would rather stand up for other white "journalists," no matter how shitty, than deal with the white supremacy that undergirds their profession.

Loving Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire. I’ve had it on repeat for a few hours. So, so good. If you like Americana, Alt-Country, Folk Rock, and the like, this is your jam.
Check it out on your preferred streaming service—or better yet, pick up her album at your local record store.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

That Ron Sexsmith and his music aren’t more popular and well known is absolutely criminal.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.
Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear
Amended complaint has been filed in the ring boys sexual abuse lawsuit against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Three new plaintiffs have joined the original five, one of which accuses Pat Patterson of also participating in the abuse.
