You’re bad at your job, and you should feel bad.

Coward.

"CHA" moon from The Tick

I think we should all refer to it as”The Epstein Ballroom”. Thereby tarnishing it before it’s even built.

Shout out to Heather Cox Richardson! Thank you for your consistent and incredible work!

This is a concentration camp and the fact that it’s flood-prone and difficult to evacuate people from is part of the intended design. The people in Texas weren’t locked in cages, the people “detained” here will be. This is premeditated mass murder and we need you to act like it.

I’m all for celebrating the small joys in life while we navigate this dystopian hellscape, but this isn’t the first time she’s failed to read the room and posted something tone-deaf about food.

I have no clue who this video is for, or who she’s trying to speak to. She isn’t good at this.

This would have been a great position to take on the Laken Riley Act.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

If anyone is able to attend the Redmond, OR event; I'd really appreciate her answer on why she voted to thank ICE and to table impeachment. Please post it here!

He hasn’t posted here in a while but this is @filmthepolicela.bsky.social helping out LAPD with some riot control tonight. Pretty funny.

Thank you for your courage today, Senator.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?

GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available

WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Trading continues after market close in after-hours/extended-hours trading. There’s fewer people trading, so sometimes that can move things quite a bit. Also, one of the screenshot timestamps is given as ET and the other is CDT, but regardless—I don’t think there was unusual fuckery here.

I know this is low-effort garbage, but it’s low-effort garbage that brings me joy.

Kristi Noem in tight athleisure—white top, drawstring grey pants—in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

Those are clearly skirmish concepts.

Tulsi Gabbard (R-Moscow): "I'm just as concerned about #SignalGate as you are, Senator. President Putin isn't going to pay me for information readily available on group chats for free."

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

You did it, Chuck! You found common ground.

A long paragraph saying that "official disclosures of acknowledgments threaten the US national security interests in a way that informal reports or statements do not."

Trump's Truth Social post showing the propaganda video of the 3 planes on the runway, stating, "These are the monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden" and thanking Bukele.

Kristi Noem, making state secrets declaration: We can't officially acknowledge which planes we used to fly people to be tortured.

Trump, confirming that the planes in video were the ones used to send people to be tortured.

So Trump’s defense of a massive national security breach is that he has no idea what’s happening.

Cool.

Okay, but how could we have possibly known Hegseth's lack of experience would lead to a colossal national security disaster?

In all of this, I feel most bad about the inevitability of @mollyjongfast.bsky.social receiving sweet missives intended for Kim Jong Un.
