Journalists who attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner to party with Trump, Hegseth, Carr etc. are telling the regime that it's perfectly OK if they sic the FBI on them for doing their jobs.
Trump and Republicans are suddenly realizing that if they lose the House in November, Trump’s presidency is effectively over, and they know that this is likely to happen. Trump is panicking. We need to make this outcome a reality.
oh fuck now I'm imagining them armed
But he would have had a lot of fun trying

Even Tom Lehrer couldn't have satirized this
There’s a certain kind of “progressive” whose view of politics is that republicans are just karmic retribution for democrats’ failures, and Republican voters are just socialists who have lost their way.
No, guys. Republicans are bad, and people vote for them because they’re nasty little bigots.
The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that
Trump's definitely getting worse. A year ago he would have described himself as "a high IQ individual" or "very smart".
Now: "extraordinarily brilliant"? And with no self-awareness of just how dumb that makes him look?
White House staffer Margo Martin tweets "Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis" with a photo of Trump and a bunch of dudes and some female heads way in the back
i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account
It's like they've stopped even trying to pretend to be impartial

There are days when I wish I could recancel my Washington Post subscription.
Okay, that's like every day now.
The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.
Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.
Yet only one is considered a "power grab."
Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.
Virginia voting FOR redistricting in favor of Democrats underscores how stupid Donald Trump was to start this redistricting war in Texas.
Much like Donald's poorly thought-out war in Iran, his gerrymandering war is BACKFIRING on him. What a sad, simple man.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
WARREN: So those massive discounts--
RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent
WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco
Officer I have a different way of calculating blood alcohol percentage
They told me there would be no math. And they were right.
"Whaaaaaa whaaaaaa whaaaaa! They did what *we* did. Only better. NOT FAIR!!!"
Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.
California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
the first person I thought of!
but agreed, she was a one-off.
I know it's frustrating, but please persist for those of us who refuse to use Twitter. Thanks from a subscriber.
every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"
oh, my, discovery in this matter is going to be SOOOOO much fun
as a retired paralegal, I'm already itching to write the requests for admissions
And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records
DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

well, no, because the Atlantic article made a real effort to report only multiple-sourced facts, making it proof against any lawsuit.l
I thought they did a good job of not indulging in any rhetorical hyperbole and that made the article even more impressive.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

He wasn't kidding
you asked for it, you got it
