Liberal, Woke, pro-DEI, pro-CRT, pro-union, pro-vax, pro-science, pro-choice, atheist, LGBTQ+ ally, anti-oligarchy. Lifetime dem. In 50 years of voting, I have proudly never voted for any GQP for any office in my life and never will.
The White House’s failure to think a step or two ahead—such as what Iran could do with the Strait of Hormuz—is another “reminder of what it means to purge government and decision-making of all the experts.”
@profsaunders.bsky.social dropping some political science with @gregsargent.bsky.social.
UPDATE: There is no war, this is a war, the war ends soon, the war is just beginning, Iran’s nuclear program is gone, Iran could have a nuke in 2 weeks, Iran has no navy, Iran is planting mines, Iran is weak, Iran could attack California, oil is down which is good, oil is up which is good.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Now America knows what it feels like to be an investor in Trump Shuttle Airlines in 1990.
This is a GQP disaster. Dems offered to fund all of DHS except ICE/CBP but GQP said NO bc GQP refuses to compromise on ICE/CBP masks, body cams & judicial warrants. www.cbsnews.com/news/tsa-abs...
Every Republican blaming Democrats for airport delays is a fraud.
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
🍊 is lying again, as usual.
"The only other countries using Tomahawks are Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Netherlands," said Mark F. Cancian, a senior adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, "Iran has none, though it has lots of missiles of different kinds."
“Last week, Thursday, we gave them a chance to fund TSA and other DHS agencies," Schumer said. "Senate Republicans led by Senator Britt blocked Senator Murray's attempt to pass the bill through."

He probably made this up. Even a three year old knows you need money to buy anything in a store.
Reposting this from yesterday…
because it deserves more eyeballs and rage.
Pedophiles talk like this👇
Waging war on a whim is now doing "everything they can to avoid armed conflict."
Real war is peace stuff.
Thank you Matt!
He calls his word salad “the weave”. 🙄
We have, by far, the biggest, most expensive military in the world not to mention enough nukes to eradicate the entire world population dozens of times over, but we're supposed to believe we're also so feeble we were at risk of attack by a military a fraction of our size. Complete and utter bullshit
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.
Andy Ogles claims pluralism is a lie and rejects Muslims living in America
“Pluralism is a lie.”
This is a sitting congressman from Tennessee. His account is a steady stream of Muslim hate.
But the second line of his post below is believed by many within MAGA.
It’s the MAGA Monoculture vs. the American Multiculture.
We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused.
They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms
Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.
Why hasn't Pam Bondi released the FULL Epstein files, as required by our subpoena and the law?
“The Dow" isn't an acceptable answer.
Stop the cover-up. Release the files, NOW.
Sounds like Thune is unwilling to nuke the filibuster like 🍊wants. He’ll have another epic meltdown as usual.
“Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the Senate would take up the SAVE Act for a vote very soon, noting that while the SAVE Act has 50 votes in the Republican-controlled Senate, he warned they are "not even close" to the votes needed to break a filibuster by Democrats.”
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. also blasted the legislation on CNN last month, “We will not let it pass in the Senate. We are fighting it tooth and nail. It’s an outrageous proposal that shows the sort of political bias of the MAGA right.”
Once again we’re asking “Why do they hate us?” And the answer is the same: It’s not because of our freedom, it’s because of what we do to them.

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
