MTG was honestly not liked by Democrats, yet through all those years, she never had to hire security until she actually stood up to the monster.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.

PUTIN/TRUMP ARE CO-EXTORTING UKRAINE/ZELENSKY! TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO AMERICA, TO DEMOCRACY, TO NATO, TO DEMOCRACY! This is no "Peace Deal", but is unconditional SURRENDER! Trump is giving Putin ALL he demands and NOTHING to Ukraine OR ELSE! All Americans should be disgusted at weak, malignant Trump.

This interview is a snapshot into where tech companies are with online harassment right now.
They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

Or the doctor or healthcare worker in charge of your care NOW who doesn’t wear a mask and who’s had several infections of a brain-damaging virus all because the CDC doesn’t acknowledge airborne transmission or debilitating long term effects. #COVID
It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

I don’t know what the answer is either. We’ve built a world that seems unsustainable from almost every angle.
I try to keep some historical perspective since every generation complains about change, but genAI does seem like a bad shift. What happens when most people simply don’t know anything?

The CDC website under RFK Jr. now argues that we “can’t say vaccines don’t cause autism” because studies haven’t ruled out every possible scenario.
It’s wild to see this misunderstanding of science on a federal health website, but it’s also an opportunity to explain how the scientific process works

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Dear U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, I would like to report a public death threat made on social media against numerous members of Congress by a DC resident. Given your zero tolerance policy for such conduct, I trust that you will promptly investigate and prosecute this perpetrator.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.
