Thank you ma'am!

So I have a legal question. Since the government is deputizing bounty hunters as ICE agents, do they have qualified immunity? Or will they be subject to a slew of lawsuits when all is said and done?

Gotta say, I feel fortunate to have him. I suspect we Illinoisans will have to share him with the rest of the country come 2028. That is if we even have elections then.

@marie-atl.bsky.social Always good to hear you on the radio. Great strategy for the Texas Dems. Glad I am in Illinois and my gov is helping them.

Magnificent.

That dog dances the salsa a Hell of a lot better than I do. Or is that samba? 😁

So wait, Grok praising Hitler and going on antisemitic rants was suddenly a bridge too far for Linda Yaccarino? She didn't have any other signs that her boss was an inveterate shitbag and it was damaging her reputation?

Glad you're still safe. Always enjoy seeing your updates.

I am sorry but I love that dog more each time I see this. Such joy!

Yeah, these are public records obtained by ProPublica. You just have to be willing to go through all those boring records.

Well you can't do thatnwithout a warrant and probanle cause of wrongdoing. Campaign contributions are a matter of public record.

So now that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has come out against his party member @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, someone needs to go through Jeffries's campaign contributions to see how much he's taken from AIPAC.

Well the right has removed every possible cloak to their racism with this shit.

And is SCOTUS just going to stand by and let this happen?

Holy shit, how much glue did Marco Rubio eat as a child. China is going to convince Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open? It is a miracle he managed to survive into adulthood.

Ah got it. Thanks for the clarification. I have to say I need to brush up on my Civil War history.

With Trump's plan to repeal the ban on asbestos, who knew that MAGA now meant "Make Asbestos Great Again?"

Bravo @losangelesdodgers.bsky.social for essentially telling ICE to fuck off when they asked for access to the parking lots at Dodgers Stadium.

@marie-atl.bsky.social Had a question. Refresh my memory. Did you say that part of the reason that Texas didn't recognize the Emancipation Proclamation was that Texas was a territory at the time and not a state? I thought Texas became a state well before that, in 1845. Correct me if I am wrong.

@marie-atl.bsky.social Always good to hear you on Thom's show. Thanks for the info, as always.

Two union leaders announce departure from DNC; party leadership in question Two top union leaders are departing the Democratic National Committee.

Randi Weingarten and Lee Saunders, two high-profile union leaders, have left the DNC. Time for @kenmartin.bsky.social to go. He has been a disaster and allowed the DNC to fracture.

Hmm Trump gives TikTok another 90-day extension before being banned. Why do I now have images of TACOs in my head? 😁😁

Of course @barbwmcquade.bsky.social won't respond because she has no justifiable response. She is a coward and she is in the pocket of the healthcare industry. Prove me wrong, Barb.

@barbmcquade.bsky.social Hey @barbmcquade
you wrote an op/ed demanding that Luigi Mangione be charged with terrorism after he allegedly shot a healthcare company executive. But you've been quiet about terrorism charges for Vance Boelter. Curious. In the pocket of healthcare companies?

I have ridden that area and it is gorgeous!

Holy Fuck, is he serious? After having worked for them for how long?

And you do. Girl, you need your own show! Always a pleasure!

@marie-atl.bsky.social Heard you on Thom Hartmann's show. Always a pleasure to hear you. You always add to the conversation.

Gotta say, lots of great signs at the protests today. But dammit, one woman had a sign with the picture of King George III from Hamilton and now I have his song running endlessly through my head! Could be worse. "You'll be back, soon you'll see..."

My protest sign was well received today! #NoKingsDay
