Are we still doing this? Minnesotan. Cat lady. Fan of democracy. Don’t like fascists. Quilting, beading, and other arts keep me sane.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Tweet from @RepOgles: "Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie."

Tweet from @RepOgles: "Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie."

Disgusting is not a strong enough word to describe how absolutely vile this is.

This rhetoric is un-American and has no place in this country.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

a heavily slurring Trump: "We're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective. Some people could say they're pretty well complete."

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Knowing myself as I do, I'm confident that had I ever seen a dog-shit video about the military like the one the White House just put out, I would have never enlisted. I wouldn't have wanted a f*cking thing to do with anyone viewing war like a Saturday morning cartoon.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
