Tuberville: "We're getting to a point now where women and girls sports and getting ready to be extinct. Because already in states across this country, we have high school teams that are made up of totally boys participating against girls."

Hey Siri, why did Bernie Sanders struggle to gain support from women and black voters?

Bernie isn't admitting he is wrong *now*.

Tweets from John Bresnahan, @bresreports:
An angry Bernie Sanders won’t drop his support for Graham Platner despite a Nazi tattoo on his chest

2/ Sanders said Platner “as a young man” went thru some really difficult experiences” in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3/ Sanders: “I personally think he is an excellent candidate and will support him, and I look forward to him becoming the next senator from Maine.”

4/ When pressed on Platner’s Nazi tattoo, Sanders lashed out at the “corrupt campaign finance system” adding “We don’t have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class.”

On top of everything the fuck else, a crucial task of the insurgent wing of the Democratic Party right now is to make it the anti-Nazi party in US politics.

If one of your Senators is one of the four (Thune, Scott, Lankford, and Johnson) who has come out v Ingrassia for his Nazi views, you might call and ask when they're going to call out Stephen Miller, who is also a white nationalist, but who also serves as a gatekeeper to what Trump thinks is true.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Guess who promoted 9/12? Glenn Beck. It was all over his show and Fox News. The “9/12 Project”. I remember it well. “Let’s all be united again like we were the day after 9/11” 🙄 These same jerks spat on John Lewis.

I fking hate the teabaggers. They were astroturf. Funded by AFP, Heritage Foundation, etc and amplified by Fox News. I used to see the logos all over their banners and stuff. It was absurd. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were my saviors at that time. Their comedy kept me sane.

@vermontgmg.bsky.social I’m reading “The Devil Reached Toward the Sky” and I love it—how amazing it must have been to be a part of the Manhattan Project. The way they describe Los Alamos it almost feels like science camp for adults with a very serious purpose. What an experience.

First Trump administration story in a while that genuinely shocked me:

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Thank god Newsom chose to close the freeway out of an abundance of caution. Can you imagine if that had hit a civilian?
