Go get her, General!
Go get her, General!
Another big day for Pirro’s Zeros.
Update: it got funny again
I think we can generalize to “don’t listen to centrist Dems”
While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority. If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.
It’s just so painful to see those sad sacks and know that they’re supposed to be our protectors against this shit.
She’s an embarrassment to the legal profession and the bench.
Another stellar example of Pirro’s skill and leadership!

God I fucking love pissed off civic technologists so much americabydesign.fail
And what are you *doing* about it?
The six hacks on the Supreme Court know they have to stop Trump from fucking up the Fed to protect their owners’ investments. But they want to give him a pass on everything else, so you get this nonsense.
For today’s performance, the part of Toto will be played by an incompetent lawyer in an ill-fitting suit.
What happens after CDC is the target of a terror attack inspired by RFK Jr? CDC staff are receiving calls from assholes who play audio of gun shots. We don’t know who these people are. But we know who inspires this behavior. It’s time to FIRE RFK Jr.
Because a majority are dishonest political hacks, not jurists. Utterly unfit for their position.
“Defend the District” protest and Go-Go concert against Trump’s takeover at 14th and U St:
Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans are lashing out at the creators of this new ad. They're TERRIFIED. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as pedophile-protectors. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
Did you know you can report “Icy (ICE-y) road conditions on Waze? Just a helpful hint if you see ICE around your area. We don’t want anyone to slip on it. Putting the human back in humanities.
Attention DC residents: a known sex offender will be loose on the streets. If you see him, make sure to exercise your first amendment right to ask him where the Epstein files are, and how many times his name is in them. Or just boo at the loser.
If you still have a WaPo subscription - why?
Donald Trump's unhinged posts over the past 24 hours makes clear that he believes Republicans rule by right and those who engaged in election fraud on his behalf are martyrs. This is why the 14A bars anti-democratic insurrectionists from holding office and Trump should be on trial in Fulton County.
Because it’s not really about crime. Hope much does this cost? Why are DC residents, who have no functional representation in Congress, being forced to subsidize the broke red states in their attempt to suck up to Dementia Donny?
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
Paging @jaketapper.bsky.social can you can write your next book yet?
If you go to a museum this year, take along lots of "THIS IS PROPAGANDA" stickers to place on any Trumpified descriptions appearing on the placards next to the exhibit (not on the exhibit itself).
I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country. And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side. Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.
Are you paying attention @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? This is what the people that you claim to represent want. Not letters, not compromise, not unanimous consent. Fight for us. It’s literally your only job.
BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down. Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed? This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.
Or nail it to the front door of the White House.
With Ed Martin, the answer is almost always (a) he’s a complete and utter moron and (b) for some reason he thinks it makes him look cool. There is nothing more to this alleged human.
😂
Love it. Keep it up. She’s an incompetent coward and a weakling, like all bullies.
Meet the Maine oyster farmer looking to challenge Sen. Susan Collins.
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
Oh how great it would be if every Black player on Texas and Ohio State boycotted the game until Texas cancels the redistricting vote and Ohio pulls their National Guard from DC. Those players have so much power and they don’t even use it.
🎩 @hoosierblue1963.bsky.social 🚨 #usa
What an embarrassing joke. Ed Martin is possibly the least competent lawyer I’ve ever seen, even worse than Bondi (amazingly yes it’s possible), and brother, believe me I’ve seen some doozies. He should resign and retire as an act of good faith to the Bar and the profession.
Did you include a sixth-grade level summary for Bondi?
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.
📢 Vaccines DO NOT cause autism Love it when a writer breaks down data in a digestible, clear, and easy to understand way. And especially when the writer then obliterates junk-science writers still pushing dangerous myths. 🔥
PSA: Don’t forget to “ask yourselves this question daily”
I'm still seeing so many comments like, "how is it legal?!" looking at rights and law stories in America, like a congressperson being actively restrained. Parts of America and its federal and state agencies are now past the stage of "legality". It's that stage of a fascist coup. They don't care.
Here are 3 things you can do to help DC right NOW: 1️⃣ Ask your reps to support the termination resolution (freedcproject.org/termination). 2️⃣ Pressure governors from WV, OH, SC, MS, LA, AL & TN to not send troops. 3️⃣ Fly DC flags, post #FreeDC signs, & MAKE NOISE until this hostile takeover is over.
At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.
Elected representative in Texas left locked in the House chamber because she refused a DPS escort. I know there's a lot going on, but if this isn't a front page story in every US newspaper tomorrow, our press is massively failing us. And yes, I know that they already are.
Will?
ICE and MPD have set up a checkpoint at 17 and Benning NE, by the Ross.
Wow Texas sounds like those “third world shitholes” I’ve heard so much about.
"’We're taking America back, baby,’ one of the masked men says in the video posted to ICE's official X account.” www.wusa9.com/article/news...
ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.
Signing bonus, no age caps: blitz to hire ICE officers This is why ICE is so aggressive. $50K incentive to sign. $60K student loan forgiveness. 25% premium pay. They’re using Uncle Sam & Superman as recruiting tools AND they’re letting over 40 guys join. apple.news/AprKnoSdBRRC...
I really regret getting that history degree
Love it
Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.
If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
Biked home from Columbia Heights to in my uptown DC neighborhood around 11pm last night. Guess what I saw? People taking their dogs out before bed. A couple walking charmingly arm in arm. A few other people biking or scooting home. In case you’re wondering what scary things happen in DC at night.
Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers. Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.
Hasn’t yet … as far as we know.
As always.
Who is Nina Turner and which Earth is she living on?
Welp that didn’t sound like approved Fox State Media Newsertainment Truespeak. Bet she’s gone by Monday.
My Republican equivalent has less skills than me .. and a job The republicans ? Saw a whole bunch of their people FEELING like they were getting left out and created spaces for them Dems watched Black women leave in large droves with more skills and have done NOTHING
A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.
Putin moved on him like a bitch. When you're a real dictator, they let you do that.
The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...
My pleasure! Looks like they’ve got the replacement out. Fun weekend reading I guess.
Knows his place. What a pathetic loser.
No, they purport to revoke orders made by the actual Chief on actions police officers can/can’t take and under what circumstances. Not laws passed by DC.
No - Sections 2, 3, 4 of Bondi’s nonsense basically revoke orders that prohibit the police from: searching databases solely to determine immigration status, assisting ICE with immigration issues without a judicial warrant, arresting solely based on immigration status, etc (I’m over simplifying).
What a pathetic coward.
Make sure to click on every Epstein headline you see. Clicks drive the news these days. Make them keep reporting on it.
Sad bunch of cosplay commandos.
This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Sanctionable IMO.
WATCH: “WE WERE LIED TO.” @tnbrando.bsky.social on the shady vote in MASON, TN last night where the mayor & board approved ICE/CORE CIVIC detention facility contracts after telling the crowd they had rejected them… then changing the result when they left.🤔 Full: youtu.be/4FwFITGxejk?...
I think - I hope - that I represent a significant proportion of my generation and demographic when I say, fuck the “moderates.”
💯 correct as usual.
You've seen the courthouse ICE arrests. Now a fired judge turned is blowing the whistle on what he calls "collusion" between immigration judges and DHS. It's a game another judge calls "detention roulette." @notusreports.bsky.social: www.notus.org/courts/forme...
This is why I didn’t spread that Costco story earlier, by the way. People really need to start being critical of things, even (especially) if they feel urgent and important.
This was never about crime. This is about power and control (and distracting from the Epstein files) If a Democratic president were doing this to Republican-controlled areas of the country Republicans would be losing their minds.
The Washington DC subreddit has reached consensus that if any of us are approached for a street interview with the press, our statement is "Trump deployed the National Guard to protect the Epstein files."
Don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of my capitol.
Going forward we are ALL hogie assault guy. Get you gear folks. I say we March in DC, EACH of us with a bag of ten or so footlong sandwiches. I’m not even kidding.
So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS?? Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this
Throw a sandwich at an agent & the Trump administration charges you with a felony. But calling police Nazis & Gestapo & repeatedly yelling "Kill 'em! Kill 'em! Kill 'em!" to a violent mob as they're beating them will get you a Trump pardon & a top job at the Justice Department.
Look, sandwiches can be really dangerous when they bounce off your tactical body armor. For all we know it was even *toasted*! Going forward we should follow the example set by our European comrades and use milkshakes.
🧵 hilarious and correct, no notes, love it
True no matter what comes at the end of that sentence.

Because Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh are hacks cosplaying jurists.
Trump is a bigoted fascist operating at a third-grade reading level whose policies are completely incoherent. He believes in absolutely nothing but attention, wealth and power. the closest the NYT can get to explaining this to readers is to proclaim "this isn't your grandpa's republican party"
Ppl should just point at them and laugh out loud. Soon,they'll be begging to be sent bk to the barracks.
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
