An out of state billionaire is funding an anti-trans ballot question in Maine β so that weβll spend our time fighting about trans people instead of raising his taxes.
Buttigieg: Youβve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trumpβs war.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social Your politics talk tonight reminded me of this Pinky and the Brain plan. My 43yo son used to be enamored with this duo. Maybe we're all just in a giant cartoon come to life.
Everything is coaplay and choreographed reality show TV. What a constant embarrassment for a bunch of people who apparently never had to grow up and who think our taxpayer money, our military, our foreign policy is their personal GameBoy setup.
The reason we have βstupid rules of engagementβ is to make sure we donβt bomb elementary schools.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland."
βKristi Noem will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are not announcing until Saturday because I just literally made it up and now my aides will have to figure out what the fuck it will actually do.β
βSenator Susan Collinsβ¦ βPassing this resolution now would send the wrong message to Iran and to our troops.ββ
Is that message that we are a country that holds the law above the whims of a wannabe dictator? Seems like that would be a good message to send to our troops right now.
Everyone should read Trumpβs long word salad quoted in full by @hcrichardson.bsky.social when he was asked why the government has not been able to help get Americans out of the war zone.
Joe Biden was forced out of the presidency for less.
Well would you look at that
GOODLANDER: I want to give you an opportunity to truthfully answer a very simple question -- who won the 2020 election?
COLBY: I'm not gonna talk about that issue
GOODLANDER: ... You swore an oath to our Constitution
COLBY: I'm not going to be drawn out on an issue of political contention
AND THIS WAS SUSAN COLLINS' EXACT ARGUMENT FOR VOTING TO LET TRUMP DO WHATEVER HE WANTS!
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
Once again, Trump chose the Republican for a Cabinet position who has made the most appearances on Fox over the last month, which appears to be the primary qualification for a senior position in the administration.
Markwayne Mullin is a knuckleheaded plumber and the only Senator not to have a bachelors degree. Republicans in the Senate confirming the Mullin appointment to run Homeland Security will show their usual disregard for the well-being of the citizens of this country while blindly pleasing Trump.
Congratulations DHS Secretary Stephen miller on continuing to be DHS Secretary
PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell?
COLBY: Defer to you
R: That was Trump. How about this - 'we simply cannot afford to get enmeshed in a Middle East war'
C: Defer to you
R: That was actually you
Resign, Senator Sheehy. Get some help. #mtpol #mtsen
This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness
Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?
We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
Neguse: βWhere's Safe America Media headquartered?β
Noem: βI donβt know.β
Neguse: βI donβt know either. We can't find itβ¦You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that a $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquart
