It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”

Bouncing paychecks for uniformed military, even temporarily, is one of the danger zones that national governments shouldn't even play with. The shutdown is not - hasn't ever been - good, but unpaid troops are sort of thing that underlay the problems which we had a little convention in 1787 about.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

someone send him an AI video that he won the Nobel Peace prize so he can declare victory and GTFO.

Well Biden sure as heck could have released them. On that, GOP is correct.

Honestly asking- is there an alternative option for swearing in that is available? Republicans haven’t been playing by any reasonable norms or standards lately, I would love to see the Democratic party start to dig deep and play hardball.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 8d

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...
