In case you didn't know, every Republican Senator on the ballot in 2026 voted to confirm Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi.
All these Republicans share the blame for the horrors that have unfolded since.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Your reminder that you should avoid reading Politico, Axios and Senator pieces as they seem almost deliberately designed to mislead and provoke outrage.
I've blocked them all here so I don't even see the rage-bait social media posts. It's improved my mood considerably.

What a perfect example of Politico ragebait. They leave “who are” out of the headline, and then the crux of the “story” is that while most Dems flatly rejected the idea, a few of them “didn’t give direct answers” and “instead noted there’s more than a week before the funding cliff arrives.”

Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfst: "We prefer somebody that's a strong, powerful person w/extremely good vision that can shoot a rifle very well to a person that's extremely weak, non-muscular, can't shoot a rifle, has no idea where the hell he is. We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise"

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

One thing about the Epstein files release especially enrages me.
It’s this:
Blanch himself said that materials containing child sex abuse & violence will not be released
That means
1: Such material exists &
2: Since it exists, it must also show the perpetrators…
… & they are STILL being protected!

It quit being special a long time ago.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.
That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.
