To not get support from current GOP members of Congress these days, you have to:
- Kill a dog and brag about it
- Admit to being a Nazi (casual denial in the face of evidence still gets you in)

Pretty much anything else is OK. Here is my start to the list. Add your own:

“White kids will just kid.”
“He’s just being hip and anti-woke.”
“A little swastika never hurt anyone.”

I am sure there are endless “great” excuses for this man-child who works in the halls of Congress. Appears “they” are blaming unnamed “others”…perhaps the KKK?

She’s fully linked herself to the GOP crowd who are absent ideas, policies, and legislative proposals. All they have are lies.

Not an independent.

Not in the minority party….
although we can hope it’s a Freudian slip.

New Susan Collins fundraising script misrepresents which party controls the Senate and characterizes her as "Independent" with a capital 'I'.

Either her team outsourced the text to ChatGPT or they're trying to trick folks into thinking she's not GOP or both. #MEpolitics via @dabbs346.bsky.social

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America?

REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.

A timely reminder:

I WANT YOU TO STOP
BEING AFRAID:
of other Americans
of other religions
of other classes
of other nations
of speaking out.
You’re Americans.
Act like it!
If you don’t get it,
ask an American who does.

A black and white photo of a young black man, standing near the US Capitol on a clear day with a large sign that reads:
I want you to stop being afraid:
of other Americans
of other religions
of other classes
of other nations
of speaking out.
You’re Americans.
Act like it!
If you don’t get it, ask an American who does.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

There was the one protester arrested for indecent exposure or something odd in Alabama for wearing a inflatable penis costume. Does that count?
