You really can’t make this shit up.

Live ammunition detonates over I-5 and damages CHP vehicle being used for Vance security at Pendleton. This, after the VP mocked Newsom’s safety concerns about live rounds being shot across the nation’s busiest highway.

Haven’t seen a WH reply since.

Nearly 30 House Republican veterans and reservists could just as easily call on Senate Republicans to extend ACA subsidies as a means to end the shutdown. Nobody wants troops to go unpaid. And nobody wants premiums to double, or for people to go untreated because they’ve been priced out healthcare.

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process.

A lawless regime.

‘Not’ giving them $40B would more than cover a year’s worth of ACA subsidies so we could reopen the government. Just a thought.

FFS - somebody needs to take all the boom boom toys away from this administration. This is insane.

Looks as though it was a bit too soon to declare the “war is over.” Shocking.

Despite its childishness, there are reasons this matters. He has a habit of using the absurd to project intentions. No, I don’t think we need rain coats to fend off flying shit, but it’s foolish not to recognize how freely he shares his disdain for a huge portion of people he’s tasked with serving.

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a murder. But a co-defendant testified against him under the threat of capital punishment. He was sentenced to death by a 10-2 jury vote. Only two states allow death sentences even when all jurors don’t agree. Alabama plans to execute him next week.

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

No Kings hit 7M with overwhelming majority of protesters being white and over the age of 40. Imagine what that looks like with every one of like mind participating. MAGA has been led to believe they are the majority - today begs to differ. Trump’s agenda is not the popular mandate they think it is.

nikwojcik.bsky.social @nikwojcik.bsky.social · 1d

The crazy thing about the No Kings crowd estimate is that it still only represents a tiny fraction of people who oppose what Trump & Co are doing. Most younger people were either working or heard the call to keep things very chill and sat out, as did many voting-eligible POC, for obvious reasons.
