Gonna throw some shrimp on the barbie and catch a southbound train.
You know, it's not redemptive for their craziness, but it actually is consistent that the three solid Republican votes for Discharge are Mace, MTG, and Boebert. They're all nuts, incompetent, and showboats, but they've been riding the Q-Anon train, and haven't backed off of exposing pedophilia.
The satisfaction of watching RFK having his lunch eaten would be considerably enhanced if I had any belief that this would result in his removal and the Senate taking its oversight job seriously.
"I am Kierkegaard, awaiting the invention of prozac."
"Congratulations! Owing to restricted immigration, your doctorate allows you to lay brick." "Umm.... I'm gonna be in Finland if you guys need me...."
Congratulations!
How many workers did he talk to, exactly....?
"We never pronounce R. Except in the word 'Tacos.'"
That tiny hitch where she moves the microphone just a micrometer away from him....
"Certainly, you've had your limbs blown off, but have you ever starred in a beloved BBC series about British aristocracy between the Wars?"
It's not even a "debate." It's "complicated" so it's rejected.

He's my senator. I wrote him, explaining that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a kooky internet huckster of snake oil, and he sent back a very polite form letter explaining how he supports the Administration in its roll-back of a politicized national health initiative. Ghoul.
Just weirder.
I'm kinda dying to read about the actual conversation in the White House. I suspect it went, "Here are the pros. Here are the cons." "Fuck it, let's just do it."
Harold Pinter Laboratories Presents....
I've taken to saying, "Release the Democratic Hoax."
Look, I'll give Trump's first admin all the credit they want for Operation Warp Speed. If the Nobel committee want to give him a prize for it, fine. It was an exemplary effort. But WHY then do you hire somebody who says those shots are fatal to keep people safe?
I wrote Cornyn about this a few weeks ago. He was pleased that we were in agreement, his form letter said, that the CDC is being renovated by the strong leadership of this administration. He is without a doubt in competition for Tool of the Year.
I suspect Barrasso and Cassidy are well aware that their medical licenses are getting a lot of smudge and are anxious to show that they do, in fact, believe in science.
But he's imported, tariffed scum. As a connoisseur of fine imported scum and balancing the budget by making everything foreign expensive, I personally recommend keeping Farage in a safety-deposit box to appreciate with compounding interest.
🚨🚨🚨The Weaponization of the 1A by DJT is Addressed Without Reservation or Lack of Clarity by Rep. Dan Goldman. A must watch: 1/2
There are! But every place has its own magic. I like that magic.
That's wonderful! (When I get requests for revisions, they usually amount to, "Why are you the way you are? And what can you do to stop it?")
The theatre around RFK is great and all, but his holding a position as HSS Secretary is failed state behavior, and everyone who facilitated it should be drummed out of public life.
Okay.
Literally HUNDREDS of White cishet males blow the brains out of kids, and ONE trans makes the 2nd Amendment suddenly non-dogmatic.
RFK Jr. is Creed Bratton from The Office: so fruit-looped that nobody can remember how he got here and nobody knows how to get rid of him.
This right here sums up EVERYTHING.
Forget common sense. It defies every scientific consensus on the table.
They've certainly painted themselves into a corner. When you run as the law and order party, when you bring Q-Anon hysteria into your big tent, you're gonna have to throw them some red meat, and the longer you refuse to do it the bloodier you look.
Oh. If only we had known.
BREAKING: Sen. Warnock gets RFK Jr. to admit that he demanded that then-CDC Director Monarez fire CDC officials before her firing.
Especially Bill Cassidy.
Who militarizes & politicizes the goddamned Olympics - the embodiment of unity.
My mailbag is double-blind. Yours is barely anecdotal.
I, and my money, also mock people with children.
@paulbernal.bsky.social , bad news. We're trying to send him back.
The Administration has encouraged us from Day One of Term One to believe that truth is relative and political, capable of sustaining "alternative facts." Result: "Do any of us really KNOW that 2 and 2 make 4? I mean, REALLY?"
This is really worth your time.
RFK Jr. is Creed.
Good point. VERY good point.
Yikes.
If one good thing has come out of Trump's irritating presence in world affairs, it is that i have taken up bird-watching.
Assuming the question is not rhetorical... Put them in small groups. Have them explain the Amendment, cautioning them, "Leave nothing out." Ask them to do 3 things: Explain what it meant in 1789, explain what they think the founders intended, and then ask them why and how contexts have changed.

❗️"The Russians have carried out the largest regrouping of their troops since the fighting near Kyiv in 2022. They have prepared a lot of forces and are ready for the final, decisive battle for the rest of the Donetsk region. Soon we will see the use of armored columns again.

I would have said, If you have the capability to blow up civilians, you have the ability to arrest and try them.
You are signaling, sir!
Another misuse of the word “ironic,” here meant to mean “predictable but stupid.”
What the actual fuck. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
"Anti-American" is the new word for "deplorable but true."
There’s a reason the White House is pushing hard against this discharge petition. I’m signing so that the truth comes out. The survivors of Epstein’s abuse—and the American people—deserve answers.
Sighs. Why can’t we have nice things…
Physics doesn't care about your feelings.
This is some pretty effing good politics: connecting media-impressions with real people that policy effects. Long overdue that we gave these crimes names and faces.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to Club Fed country club camp and the possibility that she may receive a pardon is obscene. There is no other word for it.
It is obscene, and the Admin is committed to it now. They can’t back up without risking her saying, “Oh, I just recalled this one time when…” It’s becoming much more clear why Epstein’s death was so strategically necessary….
Thank you! I hate feeling stupid; my stupidity is a reality I wish to face as seldom as possible!
You know you’ve fallen off the cultural train when you have no idea how that constitutes “lesbian encoding.”
Not to be pedantic or a brainless optimist: but I think we owe it to our lives to be cheerful revolutionaries who wake up every day glad to be alive, grateful for the things they can’t take away, and to fight on behalf of those they oppress. They attack joy: I want mine impregnable.
Farage looks like a rough draft of Mr. Rogers and Orville Reddenbacher’s love child.
There are those who believe God preserved Trump from an assassintation attempt for a higher purpose. I wonder how many have ever heard of Operation Valkyrie. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...
I'm from New Orleans. I wouldn't know ANYTHING about that. Oh, but hey, this one is from Chicago.
Texas’ abortion bans have driven hundreds of physicians to leave the state, retire early, or avoid practicing and training there altogether.
She’s a disaster, but she’s been consistent on the Epstein files: she’s pushed for their release from the beginning as part of her weird Q belief that they implicated Dems. Lately she’s come to see things a little more broadly, but I’ll give her credit for consistency on this.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Remember when this wasn’t how we did diplomacy and foreign policy…?
“Go on, Sean! Tell ‘em what ya said when Fox fact-checkers told the truth about the election! Tell ‘em what ya said!”
It would be humiliating if Kim Jong Un’s armoured train to China breaks down and he has to take the armoured bus replacement service.
I will never understand why we feel like less information is more for kids on sex.
You say “weird niche” like it’s a bad thing.
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
you’re not hot enough to say something that stupid

“I have moved an organization you don’t care about from one state you don’t live in to a red-neckier state you don’t live in for reasons you could not care less about.”

SAYS THE PERSON WHO TAUNTED ME WITH FREE HEALTH CARE AND HEALTH-RELATED TRAVEL NOT TWO HOURS AGO. God. The hypocrisy. I shall never look on the human race the same way. Going to a local used bookstore, in an old church, with a café in the narthex and shelves up to the ceilling. ROLLING LADDERS.
