I didn’t go to college but when I think (way) back to my White Russian phase, it definitely lines up.

*PTSD flashbacks ensue* Why do college students always randomly get obsessed with making White Russians for a semester? Same thing happened with me. Whew, god. How I got over!!!

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Trump: "It's an honor to have the prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, who I have made very popular. He's an extremely popular prime minister and I'm very honored to do it because I like him."

After Bondi’s evasive, self-righteous performance today I think we need to stop demanding the Epstein files be released and implore some true patriot to leak the damn thing. It’s baaaad.

Bucking. Tradition.
WTF @npr.org ?? Bedazzling the Oval Office is bucking tradition. I think there are much better words for invading your own country.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that at least raising the age for purchasing assault weapons could reduce the number of these shootings?

BONDI: That's pending litigation and I can't discuss that at all ... what I can tell you is the most pro-2nd Amendment DOJ in history

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

100%. I’ve shied away from the words civil war because it’s 21st century America but wow. It’s a very real possibility.

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 4d

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.
