Are we going to hear that Mitch passed away the minute Andy Beshear can no longer appoint a new Senator on Monday? What a coincidence that would be!

He was the last SS guard, about to be tried when he died at 100. Let this warn the ICE agents who think they are only guards, following orders. Your masked crimes against humans and humanity will mark you to the end of your days. The Last SS Guard @zeit.de www.zeit.de/gesellschaft...

If Qatar is giving that 747-800 to the US Air Force, then Trump doesn't get to take it after his term in office ends. It would still belong to the US Air Force.

I hope the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand make a new group called the Four Eyes and you-know-who won't be invited. Musk must have threatened the families of every Repug Senator. #constitutionalcrisis

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense. Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.” Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?
