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

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Sen. Kennedy with another set of probing questions about Epstein 👇

KENNEDY: Have you interviewed Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No senator

K: Do you plan to?

B: If he wants to talk to the FBI--

K: Don't you think you ought to talk to him after this interview? Maybe we ought to get Lutnick in here

God

Religiosity arises not from human nature, but from the human condition; from fear, longing & ignorance.

As education deepens understanding & compassion broadens our perspective, the need for certainty & imagined deities fades & we grow wiser & kinder.

Emerging wisdom renders Gods obsolete!

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

Pinocchio Pam doing the work for the devil she worships.

Pam Bondi’s Senate act was a cringeworthy spectacle, a tantrum for an audience of one: her orange idol. She traded answers for swagger, disrespect for substance, and turned oversight into farce. Combative, buffoonish, unserious, she played clown and still killed the laughs.

ICE isn’t law enforcement.

They’re chaos agents. Trump’s personal goon squad, recruited specifically to stoke fear and unrest in our communities.

They are a catalyst for him to claim absolute power.

Likening them to the Gestapo is accurate…and warranted.

It's clear by now that the Democrats won't press this case as aggressively as it needs to be pressed, and the media won't do that unless they have Democrats' quotes to use as a springboard either.

They won't do this work, so it's even more important that we circulate these stories ourselves.

David M. Perry @lollardfish.bsky.social · 9h

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.
