These two things cannot both be true:
1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution.
2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

I put together a montage of signs and scenes from the No King Protests. I was going to put it to music, but then I had a better idea.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop the unlawful deportations *and* to return any deportees who were still under US authority on airplanes back to the US. Trump and his DHS refused to obey the court's order. You all are okay with that?

It was Republican Congressman Dan Newhouse who introduced the censure resolution of @algreen.house.gov today.
Funny how Newhouse didn't have any of that energy for the repeated outbursts, interruptions, and "incivility" of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

For those you who aren't aware of it, Rubio is talking about the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. I would love to hear Trump, Vance and the rest of the MAGA cult explain why the US is not honoring the promises it made in that agreement.

This is the coup we were told to expect. Not by J6 insurrectionists this time, but by the oligarchy and the MAGA extremists. We didn't listen to Timothy Snyder when he warned us the first time in 2017. We need to listen to him now.

More jobs have been created under Joe Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama, or Bush 43.
I’ll repeat for the “but the economy 😩” folks who got us another 4 years of misery:

Biden finishes his term with a stronger jobs record than Trump, even if you exclude the pandemic losses/gains.

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?
Dear Joe,
I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act.
So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now.

A total stranger was able to recognize Luigi Mangione as the suspect wanted for the murder of Brian Thompson. You have to wonder why none of his high school friends, college friends, or his family had not already come forward to identify him. They would have seen the same surveillance photos online.

I couldn't agree more. It was the right think to do.
Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.
