“You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.”-Doctor Who (Tom Baker #4)

I feel now that it’s important not 2 use their actual names,but refer 2 them by their job titles.AG,Sec. of State,President,etc., w/ “of the United States of America” tacked on.Shows their ineptness 2 their job vs. one’s expectations for such a job. 2 me,it makes a more powerful statement that way.🤷‍♂️

Let's drive a stake through the heart of the myth that the GOP gives a single fuck about servicemembers or veterans.

They've nearly unanimously voted against every single bill to help veterans for years.

And the taxpayers will pay for it. Arrests are needed to stop the abuse.

Yesterday was clear that the AG of the United States was not representing the United States and its people, but rather serving as the personal attorney for its president.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Other officials can swear her in

Just get it done

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Setting aside the absurdly xenophobic framing, once again, there is ZERO truth to any of this. Everyone qualifies for Emergency Medicaid equally. Hospitals do not receive more for treating undocumented immigrants in an emergency than Americans. Speaker Johnson is flatly wrong.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Back in around 2019, Josh Ritter wrote this haunting and chilling song. It was a very scary warning of where we were headed. I think it still holds up today.
