Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues. That's pretty damn weird.
So many Molotovs and Berias, not a single Khrushchev in the bunch.

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.
A lot of times, you and the troll are not the only people reading a thread. Good arguments can help lurkers and help them realize they're not alone.
Both sides are the same on gun control! Brady Bill vote:
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
DAMMIT
AP had a closeup, he's definitely got tiny shards of glass on his face, but the bullet probably missed him completely.
President Macron says that if nothing happens by Monday’s deadline, Putin will have once again played Trump. I like how that 'once again' remark openly says that Putin plays Trump like a fool.
Apparently his pulse ox got to some really low number (in the 80s IIRC). It's only that he got the absolute best care that he survived. And remember Long COVID is terrible for the circulatory system. Look at his pained breaths: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQYE...
So I guess we talk about the Epstein Files instead?
I talked with a guy who worked for Medtronic and apparently the heart restart device Dick has only works after an attack. So he probably had an attack while hunting and that's how he shot that lawyer in the face.
He did disappear for 3 days. bsky.app/profile/pale...
Yet another night of russia “seeking peace” by launching missiles and drones across Ukraine. Explosions echo through cities, including Kyiv, still reeling from the last attack.
Did you know that? In Aug 2014 russia promised to open a green corridor for the Ukrainian defenders encircled near Ilovaysk. While Ukrainians were moving via agreed routes, russians shelled them, killing 366, injuring 429 & imprisoning 300 ppl. Never ever trust any russian "peace" offers. Never.
Identity theft. It’s called identity theft. I hope Taylor uses some of that billionaire money to sue Meta into oblivion.

Trump is ending the CDC’s drowning prevention program, arresting firefighters, deporting farm workers who do pest control, and reducing vaccine access. That’s flood, fire, pestilence & locusts. What other biblical plagues does he want? Rain of frogs? Rivers of blood? Angel of Death taking Don Jr?
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Canada wrote a law to force large internet companies to share $ with the news orgs they lifted their clicks from. Rather than pay, FB just blocks ALL news links in Canada. So maybe a Canadian judge would dress them down.

You know Trump is desperate when he has to pull his pedo protecting buddies away from their summer break and get them doing media rounds. Trump: "You know what to do." Mike Johnson: "Got it, Daddy. Distract, distract, distract."
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved: screaming at a person of color just trying to do their job
This whole Ashli Babbitt obscenity reminds me that Trump is all over the Epstein files like a syphilis rash.
The newly MAGA controlled US Air Force will be granting military funeral honors to January 6 terrorist Ashli Babbitt. Fascist regime honoring a traitor who died causing seditious terror for a convicted felon. Can’t make that shit up.
The Trump administration will be giving military funeral honors to insurrectionist traitor Ashli Babbitt, the January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol with a violent mob. They are also giving her family $5 million in taxpayer dollars. This is disgusting.
"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:
Look at the Murder Rate in his own District... #MikeJohnson #PoliceYourself
From a clip of Newsom-he calls out the murder rate in Mike Johnson's home state: bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
“When I call Kennedy a ‘dangerous crank,’ I'm not saying that as an insult or as hyperbole, but honestly as the most economical way of describing the man's views,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on RFK Jr.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
I think they said something about the legislature having to pass a law (even though the constitution is clear) and then the Supreme Court will wave their hands and say that law's not good enough but it'll be the shadow docket so no explanation necessary. Am I playing this right?
Great Jerry Jones joke in the new season of King Of The Hill.
"Big Balls" uploaded American's SSNs, DOB, health info, and more into an unauthorized cloud environment. This is a massive crime! PDF Link: whistleblower.org/wp-content/u... DOGE was told they were not authorized to put working data on the cloud…
Save the date: A judge just scheduled a hearing for this Friday in the Lisa Cook case. 10am ET.
She rushed some Senators with a box-cutter knife over some barricades, and was shot. Every single person around her was convicted of felony indictments. Ashlii Babbitt is no hero--more like Exhibit A on how social media can f**k up your brain and your life.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

They're the mushies who "don't follow the news".
yeah, and Gavin Newsom is an elected executive who has power in his state. What power does a member of the legislature have when they're in the minority?
Life is a preexisting condition.
If daddy loved him, he would have brought him along when he introduced Ivanka and Eric to his oldest dearest friend:
What can they do as a minority? Do republicans have no agency?
Forcing the military, uninvited, into Chicago to intimidate Americans in their own communities does not make our nation stronger, it simply distracts the military from executing its core mission of keeping Americans safe from real adversaries who wish us harm.
New Quinnipiac poll just dropped. Few highlights for me: - New low for Trump at 37% approval (lol) - 49% strongly disapprove - Only 20% approval with Indies (YIKKEESS) - 50% say economy is "getting worse" Overall, just an awful poll for the GOP. Early voting starts in NJ & VA in just a few weeks.
Part of the problem with Fox is that it does appeal to their racism and stokes it plus

Per @ballotready.org: Dems have won 3 upsets for open state senate seats that Trump won - & all were uncontested in prior cycles. IA 35 - uncontested in 2010, 2014 & 2018 IA 1 - uncontested in 2014 & 2018 PA 36 - uncontested in 2022 This is why @runforsomething.net recruitment never stops.
