Republicans Support Madness 🇺🇸

For the record, on November 13, 2024, at 9:09 PM, EST, I am writing: IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP. Just tryin' to beat the rush.

If no one else wants to say it, I will: Stop calling it a TSA crisis. It’s not broken. It’s being broken on purpose. Project 2025, page 159. This is how control gets sold to the public. You better vote.

He will stop at nothing to try to fuck with and cancel the midterms. Nothing. And when the midterms happen, and when he & his party get obliterated (one of his favorite words), he will never accept the results, he will say the election was “stolen,” and he will stop at nothing to delegitimize the entire election. And when your children ask you why he will do all of this, tell them the truth - because he’s democracy’s enemy and he’s a traitor to this country.

As the SAVE America Act faces a likely defeat, anti-voting activists are pushing misleading claims in a last-ditch effort to build support. But their online rhetoric doesn’t match reality. We break down what they’re saying — and what the bill would actually do if passed. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ma…

Ukraine shot down 140,000 Russian missiles, drones and aircraft over 4 years — including 44,000 Shahed-type drones now hitting US bases in the Middle East. Ukraine sent 200 advisers to the Gulf. Trump's response: "The last person we need help from is Zelenskyy" — The Times. 1/

“The Phoenix Police Department will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020” abc15.com/news/local-new…

New: Louisiana prosecutor Hugo Holland has had a career mired in controversy: concealing of evidence, allegations of racism, submission of false paperwork. That hasn’t stopped him from becoming the de facto frontrunner of his judicial race. propub.li/41nWggL

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to return DACA recipient Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez — abruptly detained/deported to Mexico last week while attending a hearing seeking permanent legal status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Geraldo Lunas Campos was held at Camp East Montana. A tent facility in the El Paso desert. Built in weeks. A $1.2 billion contract awarded to a company operating out of a single-family home in Virginia. He begged for days for his asthma medication. Staff refused. Then five guards held him down. One put an arm around his neck and squeezed. Until he stopped breathing. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide. Hemorrhages on his neck. Petechiae in his eyes. ICE changed their story three times. After the homicide ruling, DHS’s response was to call him a criminal. As if that’s an answer. #DemsUnited

NYT confirmed on Friday that Paolo Zampolli used his influence to have her transferred to an ICE facility. She disappeared for 3.5 months & was at 2 different facilities. She has described the horrors of that experience. Amanda’s story is much bigger than anyone realizes. MUCH.

Bam. Court orders Meta to file revised Exhibit D in massive copyright lawsuit playing out against it. This may well be a very revealing email. Here is the context. /1

Taylor: The day that I decided to quit that administration was the day when a mentor of mine from capitol hill had died. His name was John McCain. The flags were at half staff around the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia on the other side of the world, to say, not put out a statement in honor of John McCain, but to say, raise the flags back up. I don't care if you agreed with John McCain or disagreed. It didn't matter like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform. He was a sitting united States senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags at half staff—for the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to tell us to raise the flags back up in an act of active dishonor, tells you everything you need to know about that man and his lack of integrity and character.

I don't even want to know.

Once again, "imminent" does not mean "potential." It means "about to happen," or "will happen very soon." A threat cannot be imminent for decades.

Lauren Boebert just got bodied by community notes 😂😂

Americans need to know which officials traded stocks before Trump posted about Iran last night.

"As we saw with McCain, Donald Trump (who received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War era — including one for bone spurs) seems to hold a particular animus toward 'adversaries' who are widely recognized as patriots and war heroes." @JohnDalyBooks open.substack.com/pub/bernardgol…

NEW: The U.S. presented a 15-point plan—based on the 15-point proposal presented to the Iranian government last year—to give the weakened regime a chance to concede and spare itself further bombardment Trump says it’s progress. Tehran says it’s fiction theatlantic.com/national-secur…

It goes to show that many of the president’s closest supporters believed his campaign pledge of no new wars, and aren’t willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt over Iran. trib.al/0bENPSz

Mark Levin: "[On] the murder of our friend Charlie Kirk…what do you think happened there?" Joe Kent: "What I know is that there were foreign leads that we didn't get the chance to look into, that we did not thoroughly investigate." Levin: "You have a country in mind?" Kent: "No. I think we need to fully investigate the potential of any foreign nexus." Levin: "So you think a foreign country may have been involved in his assassination? Does the FBI think that?" Kent: "What I think is that we need to thoroughly investigate all the potentials…I just can't get into it because it's classified… What I saw at the National Counterterrorism Center, that was not thoroughly looked into."
