Honestly, what's the deal with our spineless Congress? What the hell is "vulnerable politician" even supposed to mean? Tragic.

#trumpepsteinfiles people, I won't stop!
It will be interesting and revealing if Kathryn Ruemmler turns out to be the only one taking a major career hit over the Ep Files.

Strange how loud the world gets when it wants attention.
Quieter when it wants accountability.

Some nice time.
I’m pretty sure you all needed to see this video of a baby manatee with its mom.

Polls🙄
Some polls (like NYT) only ask about deportations in abstract without asking if people want to see *noncriminals* removed.

That creates a distorted impression of support for what Trump is doing, allowing pundits to keep pushing idea that Trumpism represents mystical longings of Real American volk:
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

What a dish!
We go on holiday at stupid o’clock tomorrow and had a whole loaf to get through. So I did the only sensible thing and drowned it in garlic and chive butter, stuffed with mozzarella and baked.

Do I feel ill? Yes.
Was it worth it? Also yes.

Seriously, why is it so controversial to ask Israel to stop straight-up murdering civilians?
Drop Site’s Julian Andreone asked Rep. Shontel Brown (OH-11) whether House Dems could take steps to enforce the Gaza peace plan and halt Israel’s daily killings despite the deal.

Her response: “I have called for a ceasefire.” She then told our correspondent to speak to Republicans and drove away...

Ellison: "It felt like we were being occupied by the federal govt, & I started returning to reading about the Boston Massacre. How did those Bostonians feel when a far away govt in England had imperial troops marching all over their city, harassing & abusing the citizenry. That's kind of how I felt"

Yay, bankrupt us and U.S. and put the dregs (us, again) in prison when we point out your moronic, moral-free actions. #Resist and #mobilize #abolishIce and bring back #empathy
Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.

Not one more penny.

Damn straight @chu.house.gov we're so glad you exist! Keep up the good fight. #fairandfree #elections
In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
