What is “Chad” in Danish? We need to teach it to Smartass teens on Xitter so they meme Hegseth into single combat.

This is great. File these bills. Pressure for co-sponsors and try to force votes. I’m not naive, I know the likelihood of this passing. But that’s not the point. In stagnation, any beneficial movement is progress. Lead. Make people move. Well done, Congresswonan.

Legit the only policy position I believe he personally holds. Various viziers yank him this way and that on banning food dyes or preventing “those people” from coming into the country. But the dude really just wants to do interior design, run the Kennedy Center, and make water go hard.

We can work with the burglars to effect real change. I sincerely believe there are good burglars. It’s time for the burglars to step up and join us in burgling more subtly so fewer of us get caught. Please send me $5 through Venmo so I can buy a new raccoon mask.

It’s part and parcel of the power dynamic. They simply believe they aren’t bound by truth, and they have the power to create their own. They will *tell* people what to believe because they’re so smart and masculine. I think they enjoy it when it’s obvious.

Just talking as a Texan (white male, admittedly) who monetarily and vocally supports Jasmine Crockett, I still like Talarico. I'm not voting for him, but I'm not opposed to him. It's bullshit he's getting gauzy covers like this from Klein, but I also want him to have a future in this shit State.

OK, but it’s natural to want to talk about fun things you like. That’s OK, too. This isn’t refusing to galvanize. It’s just not exclusively marinating in the horrors.

The magnetic compass has been very useful for portable sundials, especially in mid-17thc. in Europe when the magnetic and geographic poles were in the same direction.

It’s good if you stay with your predators and also if you cheat in your relationship. I am smart and not just harvesting hate clicks so I can get Bari Weiss’s attention.

/7 Prosecuting a cop for misconduct, let alone murder, is the hardest prosecution you can do in America. Thanks to America’s culture it’s like trying to convict a fucking kitten for high treason. It’s like trying to convict Jesus. You just cannot rush over confidently into that.

Inevitable heel-turn into the GOP, minimum into broadcasting, if not into actual campaigns. He's using this as a launching pad to get paid.

Again, shockingly bad at his job. Were the standards for employment at CBP and ICE not set intentionally low, he’d be nowhere near law enforcement.

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

He’s also so habitually bad at his job that in at least two recent circumstances he broke training and protocol by standing in front of an automobile to impede traffic. He’s also a jumpy, trigger-happy murderer.

Yeah, he’s conflating use of deadly force in self-defense with QI. It’s like he thinks Ross is Rittenhouse.

Not trying to explain this away for BS, since Jay still hasn't issued a statement like she did with Kirk's death. But if I search for "Plato," the earliest mention is 4 hours ago, and that's been all over the timeline today.

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.
