the democrats had a nice little baseball game with their republican friends last night, just a few days before commandante trump holds his military parade.

its fun.
Playing in a bipartisan congressional baseball game with the party enabling the fascist assault on multiple Democratic led cities is quite a thing.
Proud to rep #AZ04’s Mountain View Toros tonight at the bipartisan Congressional Baseball Game for charity! ⚾️

Shut the Senate down now

Shut it the fuck down

No collaborating with fascists
Schumer stopped the Senate to announce that this happened, in the middle of debate on a bill where Democrats were collaborating with Republicans on crypto legislation.
How you can compartmentalize these two things is beyond me.
Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed.

(video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

This is absolutely sick.

How do you remember something without remembering it?

Is anyone allowed on TV this week who is against going to war with Iran?

I get their arguments for it, but why are those the only arguments being presented?

A very large percentage of the US population, even Trump voters, are against it. So why isn’t that viewpoint being heard?

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Oh damn Rosen went full Jewish mother on Rubio.
Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

I've read that they plane was ready to be scrapped.
We may never know exactly what happened.

I've read the plane was up for sale couple of years ago, Qatar wanted to get rid of it.

I wouldn't put it past him, to ask for it.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.

Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.

Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
