Tim Miller reported in @thebulwark.com that even in private these cabinet picks suck up and heap praise on ππ©, when asked basic questions about what's going on today.
He's already bombing the shit out of their country, destroying hospitals, schools, homes, infrastructure, and killing children. They don't have much to lose π€·ββοΈ
Agreed. He's literally lighting it on fire!
Satisfying to see @davidjbier.bsky.social absolutely dogwalk Sen. Kennedy here.
Kennedy is so far gone he doesnβt even seem to realize the βBlue-skiβ posts heβs reading are the consensus view of most Americans and not some Marxist smoking gun or something.
Israeli defense source: Toppling the Iranian regime looks less realistic at this point; destroying Iran's infrastructure and weakening the regime is more realistic. -N12 News
And how exactly will that benefit the people of Iran?
Mike Johnson on House Republicans' Islamophobic rhetoric: "There's a lot of energy in the country and a lot of popular sentiment that the demand to impose Sharia Law in America is a serious problem"
The demand to shove Christian "law" down our throats by our own government is the REAL serious problem.
The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
Trump, Jim Jordan and Andy Biggs, on the other hand...
Note that while Sascha recalls seeing Lindsey Graham and Clarence Thomas at the parties where he was trafficked, he did not say they abused him. He spoke carefully only to what he knew to be true. He specifically said he had not witnessed them doing anything wrong, besides being at the parties.
Sports have never been fair. Many athletes have biological advantages (height, wingspan, webbed toes, etcβ¦Michael Phelps alone is basically half dolphin) but being trans isnβt one and science consistently proves that: bsky.app/profile/whic...
I agree totally! Is it fair to allow a woman with a higher than average testosterone level (or even higher than a trans woman) to participate in women's sports? No, it's not fair... These athletes (or their parents) just need others to blame for their mediocrity.
Participating in sports allows kids to build community and confidence, from middle school track meets to dreams of one day playing in the WNBA.
Brianna Turner is in the fight to defend trans youth because she knows that every kid deserves the opportunity to be themselves, on and off the field.
Exactly! The question isn't how to make it fair for non-trans athletes. It should be, "What can we do to ensure trans athletes can participate in sports, so they too can benefit?"
Katie Johnson said Trump raped her at age 13. I believe her. She first met him at a party hosted by Epstein. Listen to her own words:
#ArrestTrump #TrumpsteinFiles
#EpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrials
I believe her. But, for those thinking this woman was lying to somehow make ππ© look bad because he was running, her complaint listed both ππ© & Epstein as defendants. We didn't even know who Epstein was until the Miami Herald story. I think this adds even more credibility to her account.
βTrans children are perfect.β

Wow. Powerful political cartoon by:
Carlos Latuff - Mondoweiss.
By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

It's imperative that Talarico support and assist Crockett in any and all efforts to bring this matter to court.
I was listening to a podcast earlier this week wherein women with this Mar-a-lago were described as dressing up as drag queens.
I β€οΈβ€οΈ all our winning, but I don't think Chip Roy lost his primary - yet. He's running to replace Ken Paxton as AG, which primary resulted in the need for a run-off.
