Feminist, relentless abortion rights advocate, foodie, world traveller, music lover, childless cat lady, proud Coloradan with Texas roots. Molly Ivins & Diane Nash are my heroes. The Chicks song "The Long Away Around" pretty well covers it.

ICE is kidnapping people off the streets. I can't imagine anything that matters less than this box color bimbo with a bad dye job, no class and zero ethics.

Jacob Soboroff is very brave for this reporting. At a time when other news outlets are cowering in fear, he's fulfilling the highest order of journalism, which is truth telling and holding the powerful accountable.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Flashing back to the time I was on a campaign and the candidate's son & several friends mooned the rest of us on the highway during a road trip. We referred to it as the Pressed Ham Incident.
Mike Johnson would have driven off the road.

This used to be grounds for resignation/dismissal from the Party.
But as we saw from the GOP chat messages, it's just a day ending in y for Republicans.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The media continues to give Trumpers the benefit of a doubt and make excuses for them because they refuse to grok that so many Americans are actually horrible people.
The media needs to start operating from that reality rather than denying it.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

this is extremely smart and should be the checkbox all future D candidates have to clear to be taken seriously
Ritchie Torres, the Bronx Democrat and frequent critic of progressives, said Mamdani is “a once-in-a-generation communicator” who has mastered what he called the “three threes”: A candidate in today’s day and age needs to be able to explain ideas in a 30-second vertical social media video, a three-minute television hit and a three-hour long-form podcast.

It’s been fun being attacked for years for saying bigotry motivates these people more than low taxes and small government

Same. Never will understand why so many wanted a president without dignity, class, or etiquette. The president should represent the best of us. I wouldn't pick a surgeon because she 'talks like me' & is dumber than me. I want the smartest motherfucker you got.
