A spokesperson for Senator Mitch McConnell's office told the press that McConnell now identifies as a mummy and is proud to be the first Mummified American to serve in Congress. Representatives for the estates of several former senators dispute that claim.

As the GOP continues to attack James Talarico for being some combination of an unmanly gay transgender vegan, keep in mind that it's the Democrats who need to knock it off with all this identity politics... Just ask the Abundance guys...

Insane: Soldiers in war have a right to be free from teargas. But US citizens at home don't. “Plaintiffs stake their case on the existence of a supposed constitutional right to be free from... tear-gas,” Judge Eric C. Tung wrote, "No such right exists in the Constitution.” katu.com/news/local/n...

Appeals court says federal officers can use tear gas against Portland ICE protesters
The appeals court said there is no constitutional protection against being exposed to chemical munitions.

If you want to make violence the centerpiece of your administration, then violence will be there for you. Want to bomb boats off the shore of South America? Want to start a war with the killing of 160 school girls? Then violence will find you, if only because you seem to like it so much.

In a statement to the press, Senator Markwayne Mullin thanks President Trump for the opportunity to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security. In order to ensure as smooth a transition at possible at DHS, Mullin has agreed to take on Corey Lewandowski as a lover.

You don't understand the Trump Admin if you think that everything they do is intended as a distraction from something else. There are no distractions. They do these horrible things because they want to do them. They don't plan to let voters hold them accountable, so they don't need distractions.

Without need, ICE teargassed a crowd in PDX this afternoon. The Portland Police had closed of the street in front of the ICE Fortress. People from a march had gathered there. A group of people crossed the blue line. ICE responded with volleys of teargas. The resulting cloud covered several blocks.

Down at the PDX ICE Fortress today, a car pulled up and let a young woman out. She went in the building and came out a couple minutes later in tears, got back in the car, and left. A half-hour later the GEO Group van pulled out. Two drivers, one detainee. Off to Tacoma.

The memo telling ICE they only need administrative warrants to break into residences is a betrayal of America. The person responsible for it (who, no doubt, has the initials "Stephen F'ing Miller") should be prosecuted. The agency that operated by these clearly illegal orders must be abolished.

The GOP is abusing the death of Charlie Kirk in order to go after liberals. Nothing will pry them loose from the persecution fantasy that the Left plotted to kill him. Conservatives are the most victimized people on earth. Just ask them.🃏 Kirk would've approved of them doing this. That's who he was.

When Brian Kilmeade spoke about solving homelessness and said, "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them," he was expressing his love for them. Any other interpretation would be an insult to the legacy of Saint Charlie and would result in your immediate deportation to Eswatini.

When Trump loses this trade war, he'll claim victory in public but admit losing in private (like he did with the 2020 election). He'll conclude that Xi won because Xi rules with an iron fist, while Trump is hobbled by the deep state and paid protestors. He'll demand more power, more control.
