Oh no! The face-eating leopards have started to eat each other's faces
MT Greene firing back at Trump. Includes a text she sent him.
I don’t understand all the ins and outs of this nasty little fight, but I enjoy that it’s happening.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

PHILLIP: Republicans are saying that Chuck Schumer is afraid of you. Is he?
AOC: I don't think so. Sen. Schumer and I have worked together. I think Republicans are afraid of me and they project their fear onto him. So they're just telling on themselves when they say that.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

What's your earliest memory of anything "political"?

Ellis on the use of tear gas Saturday: "That was the instance, as well, where children were present and they were dressed up in their Halloween costumes. … Those kids were tear gassed on their way to celebrate Halloween in their local school parking lot."

Again, not the most important here, but I'm begging for a journalist to figure out how/why NPS put up a Confederate statue DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. How is this "essential" when food stamps are not?
Feels symbolic that a Confederate statue first installed in 1901, at the peak of the consolidation of the Jim Crow system—when the states of the former Confederacy were in the midst of revising their constitutions to disfranchise Black citizens—has been reinstalled.

A Confederate statue toppled in Washington, D.C., in 2020 has been reinstalled
A statue of Confederate general Albert Pike, which had been pulled down during the Black Lives Matter movement, has been put back up in Washington, D.C.'s Judiciary Square.

Buffoons, yes. But dangerous buffoons.
I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

So, how much is all this costing us taxpayers, exactly?
ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Erin McCanlies has spent the past 20yrs studying how parents’ exposure to chemicals at work affects the chance that they will have a child with the condition.

I was with two other well-informed, politically engaged, college-educated adults over 45 when I first saw posts about the shooting, and neither of them knew who Charlie Kirk was.
These people are just terminally online. They've convinced themselves that a conservative podcaster with a niche college audience was somehow a universally known and widely loved figure.
Most folks at the Emmys probably only learned about Kirk when their kids explained who South Park was mocking.

One. Day.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

I mean, are these weirdos really pretending that there's any question about whether or not it's his signature? And are we really going to pretend to take them seriously instead of just laughing in their faces? Just laugh at them. It's okay to laugh at things that are laughably dishonest.
