I’ve finally had enough. Republicans are inundating everyone on Twitter with their lies and bullshit. It’s a campaign. It’s disgusting and infuriating. I’m done. Deactivating. After 17 years… 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Day 15 of the Republican government shutdown. My constituents are still worried about skyrocketing premiums. Republicans are still nowhere to be found.

Apart from the obvious incoherency of this, it's funny because Nuzzi's reporting on RFK Jr. around the time of their affair probably helped him get into this position by presenting him as a liberal who just had some unorthodox views

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

Scoop: Olivia Nuzzi has written a book during her year in exile, in which she is set to in part address her relationship with RFK Jr. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/olivia-nuz...

Good morning. We had a sudden, violent hail storm of epic proportions last night. Didn’t last long but was very intense.
Picking up a pup from Bernalillo animal shelter this afternoon for her Freedom Ride. Taking her to fosters. She’s a cutie but terribly frightened. Lucky girl.
Enjoy your day!

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Liberals hit back at Vance's blunt dismissal of racist, antisemitic and misogynistic messages leaked from a Young Republicans group chat.

Donald Trump is telling Republicans to boycott negotiating and they are following his orders.

Vote them ALL out. How in the hell can anyone vote for these people?

So, some clown belonging to a party that’s shut down the government to protect pedophiles, refusing to confirm a duly-elected Congresswoman from the other party, corrupting the vote, and siccing storm troopers on anyone darker than mayonaise wants to call people un-american.

What a f-ing joke.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

A lot of kids in Texas are going to the grocery store alone. An interesting side effect is smaller grocery stores are losing money because the kids are sticking to the list and not buying extra (anecdote from an acquaintance that works on the purchase logistics side)

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Missed that part where Jesus beat those seeking refuge. What I remember is:

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
Romans 12:13

Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.

This new bullshit of DHS saying Mexican drug cartels are targeting ICE and law enforcement is ridiculous. They are protecting themselves because they are scooping up ANERICANS… shamelessly and behind masks and violence.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
