It’s really unfair of Mills to focus on things that Platner has said and done

I’m so very honored to vigorously represent TX 30 in Congress until Jan of ‘27 & am back in the ranker seat today.

With that being said, as a member of the 92%, I’ve labored without hesitation nor rest for some time which has been unhealthy. My labor going forward will be laser focused & balanced.

Appeals court set to review a key, harsh Trump administration deportation policy this spring The First Circuit stayed a lower court ruling over third country removals, but also set quick merits review. Also: A mid-week legal round up. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

Third country removals—deporting people to countries they've no connection to—are not new to the Trump admin, but they've used the practice in aggressive & arguably illegal ways.

The class-action challenge fighting them is now at the First Circuit, w briefing over the next 5 weeks, then arguments.

“I like how our gay antics make him so uncomfortable he hates us. I'm doubling down on gay chicken next time in honor of this Air Force pussy." -Graham Platner June, 2021

All this was a choice. I can’t get over how all of this was a choice. A plurality of American voters saw corruption, bigotry, pandemic, economic crisis, coup attempt, and criminal conviction, then opted for more.

If you told me these were serial killer suspects, I'd believe you.

Time. Is it linear?

Gas was .99 and ground beef was .89 cents.

The Clinton Years.

They look rather dim.

baffled how this is a "center-lane democrats" problem when Sanders, Markey, and Van Hollen are pushing it

Who are the organizers and groups skilled at boycotts? Because the DOGE Hitler youth are building companies, some with mainstream institutional clients. Seems like a ripe opportunity to organize boycotts around that. If you have any recs of folks to talk to about this, let me know

Trump mourning the war dead today in West Palm Beach

Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.

John Fugelsang @ JohnFugelsang I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug." What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD looks like Satan's Butt Plug. And I wish people would stop twisting my words.

This is just shit. It's poorly reasoned shit. So let me get thia straight, when individual people get old and have weathered a lot and amassed much experience, they're walking corpses that need to be shoved aside to make way for the new. But for entire countries, the opposite is true, I guess?

Repeat that last sentence again. Bernie has convinced a generation of dumb gullible voters 100% of nothing & allegedly standing on principle is better than 70% of something & continued progress. Fuck him now & forever.

<Kate sits back and waits to absorb an angry blue wave of posts from folks who have newly discovered the progressive wing of "rigged election" influencers.>

The SAVE Act is a massive voter suppression bill -- and folks should definitely be resisting it. It's been motivated and justified by conspiracy theories about election fraud. But we don't need new conspiracy theories (about DOGE, stolen SSNs, and future fraud) to justify pushing back against it.

The Cruelty is the Point The Deaths of Daphy Michel and Nurul Amin Shah Alam

They’ve found another immigrant tragically dead on the street after being released from ICE custody.

My latest piece for Substack:

In a last ditch attempt to blunt criticisms for not living anywhere near IL09, Karpetbagging Kat has released a Cameo-like endorsement from Mark Ruffalo.

She couldn’t even find a celebrity who comes from Chicago.

How many ways can you say “We used ChatGPT” without actually saying “We used ChatGPT”?

Speaking as a zionist, I can tell you the single most effective selling point that any zionist can make is:

"Nobody will look out for us but us."

And a lot of Jews, myself included, spend a lot of our lives thinking that's not true. We all think we can count on allies to look out for us.

You know what would be awesome? If the replies to people cheering for dead jews were also being rebutted by accounts that weren't obviously Jewish.

If you want to reduce Zionism's hold on the Jewish community, that's a cheap and visible way to do it

This.

David Copperfield’s name is all over the Epstein files.

It’s no secret. I even posted about him years ago.

He’s stepping down from his Las Vegas residency.

Not good enough.

Why hasn’t he been dragged in front of James Comer and the House Oversight Committee for a hearing?

Aaannnnddd here’s the picture from that moment! 🙌🏼

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

I want people to listen and think about how they talk about Black women leaders.
Think about it.
Do better.
