Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Can’t get over that Pretti’s parents yesterday woke up thinking everything was normal and by the end of the day they were watching the federal government trash their dead son.

There is no need for the American people to wait until the midterms to demand better of their government, Congress has the power to stop all of this right now. Demand them to dismantle ICE. Yes, demand it of Republicans, too.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

Should they have cared about all this before now? Yes. Did you reach the right position before them? Sure, here's a gold star. Do we need their numbers to make this work? Yes. Please stop acting like the hipster who knew about this band before anyone else. We actually do need the normies.

Have long thought Epstein as a means of bringing down Trumpism was overrated, & I’m afraid that’s still true, but I’m just going to enjoy today believing that damn, maybe this really is the beginning of the end of this nightmare. Back to the long struggle tomorrow.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Cheney should have died in The Hague, not surrounded by his loved ones, Nancy.
The ever-awful Nancy Pelosi on Cheney:

Dick Cheney was a patriotic American
who loved his country. While we strongly disagreed on most policy issues, his patriotism was clear when he returned to the House Floor to commemorate the first anniversary of January 6th. We all saw then how proud Vice President Cheney was to see his daughter, Liz, follow in her father's footsteps to serve in the House with
courage and integrity. May it be a comfort to Lynne, Liz and Mary that so many are praying for them
at this sad time.

Re Graham Platner: A lot of folks are just now realizing how much our military’s culture is deeply right-wing and regressive—a place where Nazi and white nationalist iconography are commonplace (even if sometimes not recognized by the troops themselves). This was literally last year:

Some enterprising journalist should maybe ask Gavin Newsom how he intends to be a champion for liberal values while simultaneously forcibly ejecting unhoused people from state property. Because it doesn’t compute. These are people you should be helping, if you’re a champion for liberal values.
