Republican representative Darrell Issa of California says he will not run for re-election — Guardian US Issa was first elected to Congress in 2001 to represent a district that was recently reconfigured due to Prop 50

Issa about time we got rid of this guy. Don’t let the door hit you in the …

Steyer questions Swalwell’s eligibility to run for California governor — POLITICO The billionaire climate activist’s campaign also asked the state to enforce a dormant five-year residency requirement for candidates.

Honestly, “sow doubt, exploit the ambiguity, and advance its perverse agendas” sounds like what Steyer is trying to do here. Pushes me closer to Swalwell. Thanks, Tom.

‘It’s 10,000 people saying – we’re with you’: inside Trans Mission, a night of solidarity and joy for a community under stress — Guardian US Olly Alexander and Glyn Fussell’s starry, Live Aid-inspired shindig – featuring Christine and the Queens, Kae Tempest and Munroe Bergdorf – is a show of unity in a dark time for trans people

I haven't seen this shared much yet, but it’s too important not to. Here’s a concert supporting our transgender friends and family. (It would be great to see this happening in the US.)

How much do you want to bet that he guarantees to make them whole with our tax dollars, just like he already did with the oil industry? He uses the US treasury exactly like it’s other people’s money.

Trump Says He Is Replacing Kristi Noem — The Wall Street Journal The Homeland Security secretary’s combative Senate hearing this week was a key factor, advisers say

Me: Thank God, the nightmare is over.

God: You fool. That was just the intermission. Here comes Markwayne Mullin.

Umm, No, God Did Not Ordain a Vile, Traitorous Serial Predator. Alleged Christians Did. If I hear one more Evangelical claim that God anointed Donald Trump, I swear I’m gonna rapture myself.

This isn’t a mystery or a miracle, and it sure as hell isn’t God.

Yes, you Can Condemn This War and Still... The U.S./Israeli attacks on Iran are reminding us once again of the collective failure of public discourse.

Do you condemn this war, or do you support Iranian women?
Do you condemn this war, or do you oppose anti-Semitism?
Do you condemn this war, or do you love America?

America’s cognitive dissonance: half the country chest-beating “we’re crushing them” while the other half screams about the dead children. We commit the atrocity AND claim moral superiority. The rest of the world just sees the bloodshed.

I would vote for Josh Turek if he was running in my state. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is contribute to his efforts. I recommend you do so too if you can. He’s an amazing candidate. Good luck Josh!

I won my first race by just 6 votes. And I did it by knocking on nearly every door in my district. Every day, hot or cold, rain or shine, I got out there. I’ll take that same grit to the Senate, but I can’t get there alone.

Can you chip in today? https://bit.ly/4ra1hnK

The Tuberville military blockade is Republicans’ mess to solve, Biden says Yet GOP lawmakers have mostly avoided confronting the senator on his procedural hold.

Senator Tuberville Says It’s ‘Unfortunate’ That American Soldiers Died, ‘But This Is War – It’s Gonna Get Worse Before It Gets Better’.

No military service in his Wiki bio.

And he showed his support for the military by blocking promotions and raises.

Less than respectfully Senator I say FU.

Bought a “smart” lightbulb. Needed an app to use it. That’s when it hit me: I’m not the customer, I’m the product.

Now CBP is buying that same data to track Americans without warrants.

Congress is too busy with Trump’s chaos to stop this. Opting out of privacy invasion shouldn’t be my second job.

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.

That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.

And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

He is Not Worth This, America America, he is not worth this.

He is not worth the end of our Republic: an imperfect but determined two-hundred-and-fifty-year experiment in Democracy having its life and liberty choked out by a sneering, narcissistic, intellectually fetal, morally bankrupt bottom feeder...

They say a bullet "grazed" his ear. Miraculously, the cartilage grew back perfectly—no scar. But now there's a scaly patch behind that exact ear. Maybe the bullet went through, did a U-turn, and is now trying to burrow out? The healing power of this guy is unbelievable! What a specimen!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

NYT publishes anti-trans lies, misrepresenting science to justify hate. Legislators use falsehoods to pass laws crushing trans lives. The truth doesn’t matter to these people. If you have to use hate and lies as the means to your end, there’s something wrong with your end.

It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.

Hey Team USA Men's Hockey, Congratulations, You Just Won The Gold Medal in Misogyny Hey, US Men’s Hockey Team, you may not realize this, but you just won the gold medal.

Pam Bondi was asked about Epstein’s pedophiles. She chirped about the Dow. Well, it’s at 48k now. Can we talk about the predators yet or does the price of her “integrity” require a total crash first? She defended them like she was Ghislaine. Shameful, Pathetic, Traitor.

Ken Paxton plans to leave no stone unturned, even if it means single-handedly paving the road to hell with his intentions.
