@SecWar It’s going to cost us $125 million just to change the name of the DOD to the “department of war”, but please, make more bullshit cartoons with our tax dollars to remind us all of how “fiscally responsible” you are.

@SecWar @WhiteHouse Wow, our tax dollars being diverted from Medicaid, housing, and food assistance for poor children is being spent more efficiently for bombs!

@SecWar @USNationalGuard You’re a wifebeating alcoholic Nazi who belongs in prison right now for your illegal war in Iran which isn’t doing anything to distract from the Epstein files, Punch-Drunk Pete The entire Republican Party is protecting a pedophile rapist instead of the United States of America

@ABC And they’ll pick through the offenders with a fine toothed comb based upon the lack of or amount of donations (bribes) made to Trump.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice is investigating a series of suspiciously timed trades in the oil market just ahead of major announcements by President Donald Trump about the war against Iran, sources told ABC News. Read more: abcnews.link/IaXAtG1

BREAKING: BOOHOO! Chief Justice John Roberts throws a hissy fit because the American people aren't nicer to the Supreme Court and treat the judges like "purely political actors" and with "hostility." These right-wing justices want us to just shut up and accept our fate... “We’re not simply part of the political process, and there’s a reason for that, and I’m not sure people grasp that as much as is appropriate," Roberts said at the Third Circuit Bench and Bar Conference. This idea of a nonpartisan, neutral court handing down rulings with no guiding light beyond that of their own righteous jurisprudence is a long-running myth in American history that must be dispelled. The court has and always will be a political institution. "At a very basic level people think we're making policy decisions," Roberts whined. "I think they view us as purely political actors, which I don't think is an accurate understanding of what we do." The irony here is that his request for nicer treatment comes immediately in the wake of the Court moving to gut the Civil Rights Act, giving a massive electoral handout to Republicans at the expense of Black voters. This is the same Roberts who oversaw the overturning of Roe v. Wade after Trump stacked the court with conservative activist judges during his first term (although Roberts himself did not vote to overturn it). “There is a point where it changes from criticism of the opinion to criticism of the judge, and it can lead to some very serious problems. As soon as you personalize, it can become problematic," said Roberts. “There’s a lot of hostility that’s publicized about judicial decisions and which judge wrote those decisions,” he added. “I think we have to be a little more careful and make sure people, to the extent you can, are more careful about that.” Of course, we as Americans are perfectly within our rights to criticize the members of the court on personal grounds. Clarence Thomas has been exposed for taking bribes in the form of lavish gifts from Republican billionaire Harlan Crow. These people are not paragons of moral virtue. The suggestion that the court is anything other than a partisan battleground at this point is insulting to our collective intelligence. The power to appoint judges is one of the central reasons why Democrats and Republicans fight so hard to win the presidency. Trump himself has bragged about his appointments in the past. Why would he do that unless he thought that they were an extension of his political agenda? In Roberts' remarks we find a quintessential neurosis of the American conservative movement. These Republicans want to strip away our rights, inflict economic suffering on the working class, and broadly immiserate the majority of the country — and then they want us to ignore that fact or, better yet, thank them for doing it. Please ❤️ and share if you support expanding the court!

MAGA is big mad at this post from Mark Hamill saying he wants Donald Trump to… …live? 🤣

What happened in Alabama is actually happening everywhere. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

@DeptofWar @RealDeanCain Oh look-two narcissistic attention whores who are really bad actors.

Today, we welcomed @RealDeanCain to the Pentagon. Dean took time to honor our warfighters and veterans — recognizing their service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to this nation.

During Tennessee’s House redistricting committee, House Majority Leader William Lamberth (R) brushes off a question from @KarenDCamper (D) asking if he is concerned that Republicans are using six-year-old census data to redistrict. LAMBERTH: “Anytime I think we can expand the diversity of candidates and voices at the table is a good day in Tennessee.” GALLERY: *laughs*

Soooo… Tennessee Republicans are trying to gerrymander the state. And they’re also trying to get rid of the requirement to tell people where their new polling locations are? Tell me again how the Republican Party isn’t trying to cheat. 🙄

@lhjtennessee Do you hang your confederate flag on a flagpole near your house or off the back of your pickup truck?

@Vivian_E_Jones If the troopers are dragging you out, it’s evidently not your fucking house. At least none of these protesters had to miss a day of work.

As they are removed by troopers, the gallery breaks out in “whose house? Our house!” Business on the floor continues.

Trump’s proposal to put a coat of white paint on the exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a 19th-century historic building next to the White House, is getting a hearing by a key federal agency. Public sentiment is against a new paint job. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Republicans in Tennessee are now trying to eliminate the requirements to notify voters with new poling place locations in the new Congressional districts all so they show up at the old ones & then get frustrated from not knowing where to go to vote.Stop the madness now.

Surprise surprise

Gallrein campaigns on military service but advice his friend’s kid not to join… meidasnews.com/news/facebook-…

@TheTNHoller TN District 92 has a GOP primary coming up in August. If decent Republicans are embarrassed by this fool they can get rid of racist @RepToddWarner if they vote for Vincent Cuevas-maybe Vincent isn’t such a pedophile protecting racist. Someone needs to ask Vincent about this.

JUST NOW: Rep. Todd Warner walks into the house to strip majority Black Memphis of representation wearing a trump flag as a cape as Rep. Camper of Memphis looks on Video: instagram.com/reel/DYCuFmtOt…
