Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
Bondi is getting hysterical,
Because of facts so empirical,
She’s a real Stygian witch,
And a pestilent bitch,
And when she falls it’ll be so lyrical.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I have posted the photo of Molly Christmas reclining on the bed and sticking her tongue out before, probably a couple of times on #Caturday; it's one of my favorites. I had it made into a jigsaw puzzle for my wife for Christmas; she said it was hard. #MollyChristmas #CatsofBluesky

'Tom Emmer is a near-perfect example of the combination of so little real integrity and so much frantic cowardice and cognitive ossification that drives electeds who are sticking with Trump to the end.'

It's faith based, of course. Just ask all the acolytes.
Unbelievable states claiming to push evidence-based reading instruction seem to overlook the research coming out about LETRS and some of the programs I've seen don't appear to have much supportive research to show they work.

The funny thing is that these characters think by killing a protester for Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem they can become honorary white people. What saps.

She’s right, Delta.
a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
