"And therefore, because of the fascism, I will be caucusing with & voting with the Democrats from now on until the unprecedented crimes & constitutional violations cease."

No? Oh, ok, then. I didn't think so.

“I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

Once again, if even a single municipal level Democrat ever said something like this about rural Iowa or Texas or its citizens, it would be a week-long National Conversation™️ on CNN about the need for liberals to respect Real Folkz & be more civil. This? Gone tomorrow. Because it’s another week.

The most charitable explanation of the Chicago Sun-Times insert fiasco is the CST assumed due diligence out of Hearst (who put together the insert), which in turn assumed due diligence from the writer, who clearly did no diligence at all. Again, in another era, this might have worked. Not this one.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

The most daming claim in this statement IMO:

Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created…
Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds.
Correct usernames and passwords.

2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Lamont: DOGE says we’re just getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse—that’s nonsense. All they’re doing is pushing costs onto the state. When we get cuts, we don’t get any notice. All of a sudden, the portal turns off and they stop paying for daycare, they stop paying for Health Department services..

Say what you will about Herbert Hoover, I don’t think he packed up and headed out to his place in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the evening of Black Tuesday.
Trump touches down in Palm Beach, on his way to Mar-a-Lago. It’s the ninth weekend he’ll be in Florida since his inauguration.

Didn’t take questions from the press pool or those of us huddled on the risers.

Can you imagine the headlines & the speed of the impeachment vote if the press secretary for any Democrat from Truman to Biden said, "The president feels strongly that we should permanently end the territorial sovereignty of one of our NATO allies"?
Leavitt: "He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States."

👀 There's a court hearing tomorrow in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops emergency bid to stave off State Department contract cuts.

So today State abruptly canceled the conference's contract entirely and said Judge McFadden has no jurisdiction anymore.

The moment in the cabinet meeting where RFK Jr, acting as the actual head of HHS was asked to respond to a deadly measles outbreak caused by vaccine refusal was one of those out-of-body, waking nightmare moments of the Trump era.

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday.

That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I’ll repeat that in my first pool duty after Jan. 6 — when I was in the Wh press pool for four years of trump term 1 — I got in trouble with WHCA for sending a bitchy ass pool report including lines like former host of celebrity apprentice and soon to be former president Donald trump, and adding…
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter.

"Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves
In Texas, said one doctor: “We’ve vaccinated multiple kids that have never been vaccinated before, some from families that didn’t believe in vaccines.”

Still cannot believe we spent all of November & December talking about how it was <checks notes> Harris/Walz & The Democrats who <checks notes again> lost touch with the political center & Real Folkz & ignored Kitchen Table Issues. Congrats everyone. Truly, well done.
You can make whatever campaign promises you want, but budgets don’t lie.

Folks, yes, he's not talking about "computer voting." He's laying the groundwork for saying that paper ballots counted by computers are not reliable & must be dismissed. And then he will say that it is taking too long for paper ballots to be counted by hand, & therefore they must be dismissed. Etc.
They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.
Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."
