The Golden Gate Park rose garden has a poignant beauty near the turning of the year. I love a summer rose, but I also love a rose that’s seen some challenges. #photographersofbluesky #sfphotography #worldofmiriam

Maybe just maybe you Republicans seriously backed the wrong horse in a severely morally bankrupt way & you’re taking down your kiddie diddling evangelical Nazi fuckwits with you. You severely, epically MONSTROUSLY screwed up. #EpsteinFiles #ChildAbuse #SexTrafficking #TrumpRapist

Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.

Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.

Donald Trump’s was one of them.

Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.

If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.

This is good. On the linguistic roots why, people say Mandami and why it's not just linguistics (i.e. the impulse is linguistic but at this point for certain people it's deliberate)

Meanwhile in texas we added a bunch of dumb amendments to the state constitution preventing tax raises on rich people and banning non citizen voting, a thing that is already illegal

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

The constitution describes this kind of payment as an illegal emolument, something a self described “constitutional law attorney” like Johnson would know.

Perhaps Johnson is a fraudulent, amoral windbag?
Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

A big question now is: why isn't FEMA in western Alaska?

Because they have not been deployed.

Gov. Dunleavy has requested a federal disaster declaration, and Alaska is waiting to hear back.

In the meantime, it's all local, tribal and state led relief efforts.
