And now we know who said it.
To be brutally candid, due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking U.S. tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River,” EPA press secretary Brigit Hirsch said.

We have been made aware of a group of people going door-to-door looking for Spanish speakers, ostensibly for a church group, but quite possibly to inform for ICE.

Remember: every day is Shut The F*ck Up Friday.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social time to get your poop in a group. Go find a few women in the house and do whatever they tell you needs to be done to stop this bill!

No British person should ever, a single day on god’s green earth, disparage anybody’s food. Literally ever. Never seen a seasoning you wouldn’t steal for but never use. Please sit down with your peas and mash and chew silently.

When the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in the Brown v Board case in 1954, President Eisenhower was not fully in support of the decision. Nevertheless, he understood his duty, and said "The Supreme Court has spoken and I am sworn to uphold the constitutional processes in this country, and I will obey.”

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

It’s like a running commentary on our current shitfest.

Listen to the chapter on voter eligibility: oh look! They’re passing the SAVE act!

Learning about “re-entry:” oh look! They’re deporting people who have been here for decades!

Can’t wait to see what prescient horrors come next. Five stars
On March 25, my new book comes out. It's called "Bad Law: 10 Popular Laws That Are Ruining America"

This is my Bill of Wrongs.

Instead of saying "orange man bad," I drilled down on 10 laws most people like that are actually destroying us.
