Heartbroken by this news out of #SC this morning. Entire families and a community are forever changed by preventable gun violence. Let’s pray, and let’s also act.

(2,2) For those who voted for him, is this what you voted for? Are you ok with this? He is destroying America from the inside, and all from a foundation of lies.

(1,2) I have often stated my belief that the Current Occupant of the White House lies about everything. Last night he posted this. He is either knowingly lying, senile, or both. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH. Biden was still a private citizen.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

“the conventions of political reporting today are poorly suited to capturing this naked use of sheer pretexts and the bottomless bad faith they rely upon.”
@gregsargent.bsky.social is absolutely right. Big, legacy media has got to catch up to reality.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Yes. That's the point. Thiel has told Vance, Musk, and Trump alike that democracy is not the proper order for a country. They hired Trump to destroy this country. THAT'S IT. That's the plan. DESTROY. Stop writing as if there's any other objective than death and destruction, it's driving me insane.

Did @SpeakerJohnson actually bring @RepMikeLawler back to be the new attack puppy?

Guys, you both looked pathetic and seemed mentally disturbed.

Bring back the full Congress. Get to work ending the shut down charade that you started.

The DOJ is considering letting people convicted of domestic abuse and violent felonies to get their gun rights back.

We need every voice speaking out right now.

Grateful for @corybooker.com’s leadership in always demanding action on gun violence.

It’s time for all of Congress to meet the moment and save lives.

Cory Booker @corybooker.com · 4d

Compared to the rest of the world, the United States stands alone with the threat we face from gun violence. It’s time to pass common sense safety measures–that over 80% of Americans agree on–to make our streets safer.

Can someone please ask @AGPamBondi if ICE is now staffed by extremists organizations like Proud Boys, 3%ers, and the former Identity Evropa & League of the South. What about those who participated in the January 6th insurrection?

Many people are saying this is true.

This testimony from @AGPamBondi is a fucking disgrace. She is a stain on the fabric of America. She is making clear that she is NOT an AG for America.

She is a wicked and evil _itch.

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump

Sounds like what @PamBondi said without getting caught up in using the words is that the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown

"If Republicans are on board with Trump’s effort to become a dictator, there’s not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."

Democrats are winning the shutdown

Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

While I disagree with @RepMTG on almost everything, I appreciate her stepping out on subsidies. I am an American who is self employed with preexisting conditions. I have health care because of ACA. Thank you Rep Greene for speaking up & protecting my ability to afford health care going forward.
