They’re even turning on their own. Texas Republican Ted Cruz slammed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, calling his behavior “mafia-like” and warning that Carr’s threats to retaliate against media companies for their programming were “dangerous as hell.”

Buttigieg: It was shocking. And I got to say, you know, all the things that I've seen happen in the last few weeks, it's taken a lot to feel genuinely shocked. But this is genuinely shocking. They sent war plans to the wrong guy

It’s like a coworker coming up to you and saying “hey have you noticed Carl hums really loudly when he has headphones on” and then when you you’re like “yeah I’ve noticed that, it’s kinda annoying” they ask if you want to help burn his house down, they’ve already tied up his family inside.
With things like land acknowledgments and “pronoun policing,” it’s not this never happened, nor that every time it did was great, never ever misguided, cringy, annoying, etc
It’s
1) Nowhere near as pervasive as made out to be
and
2) Not even close to a rational justification for ending democracy

BREAKING: Speaker Johnson, in what appears to be a direction from Donald Trump, has decided to remove Rep. Mike Turner as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, according to Punchbowl News
His “sin”? He’s too pro-NATO, too supportive of Ukraine, and “too close” to the intelligence agencies.

If GOP senators will "put someone this obviously, ludicrously unqualified in charge of the Pentagon with the U.S. Armed Forces and the security and safety of the nation on the line, there is no limit to how abject they will be in their pursuit of Donald Trump," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.
