I’m convinced Republican politicians don’t actually believe mental illness causes gun violence. But they do it because they just know that demonizing people with mental illness has no political consequences and also that doing so buys them enough time to feign outrage until the next mass shooting dominates the news cycle.

I voted NO on the MAGA Republican bill to raise the debt ceiling. I can't support a bill that includes slashing critical funds that will hurt working families, the middle class, and our veterans.

When a fraudster like George Santos is the deciding vote, you know the bill is a fraud.

"She thus becomes the first person in history to get the legal system to hold Donald Trump to account. She certainly beat Merrick Garland to the punch. E. Jean Carroll, Trump grossly said you weren’t his type. We say with admiration that you are definitely ours."

Let me repeat myself ONE MORE TIME. I'm a 59 year old BLACK WOMAN. You have a lot of fucking nerve to attempt to tell me about the impure Dems. I've been voting ALL MY LIFE for the lesser of TWO evils. This time, you are voting for your OWN FUCKING SURVIVAL. If you don't get that by now, don't talk to me anymore. I'm tired of your privilege to even say SHIT like that out loud.

Everyone knew about Donald Trump. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Jeffrey Epstein. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

"Officer-involved shooting" is a euphemism for "officer shot someone" -- and it's used, by police and journalist, to make reality fuzzy.

If all journalism organizations agreed to, as this commentary advises, abolish the "Exonerative Tense” in headlines (and I'd add, articles as well), journalism would be much improved.

I realize that I don't really care to hear anything from any Republican. Not one thing. Not one fucking Republican.

Elie Mystal, again:

When #Trump uses campaign funds to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million dollars and doesn't record it properly, that will be another bookkeeping offense.

I want to get that on the record now so I can say "I told you so" in 2029 when a prosecutor finally gets around to looking into that

@StillIRise1963 As a 63yo white woman one thing I have definitely learned is that if the rest of this country had started listening to Black women 50 years ago we'd ALL be in a lot better shape now.

Someone got their ass handed to them today. I couldn't be happier he's having a meltdown. Freak.

The so-called party of “law & order” is so dangerous that the Judge ruling over Trump’s sexual abuse conviction trial is compelled to warn jurors to remain anonymous “for a long time,” lest harm come to them.😳

The is the GOP today. Smh. Horrible.

#FuckKevinMcCarthy

#GOP proposed budget cuts to secure debt ceiling increase are inhumane and preposterous! No serious human being would consider.

How about repealing the 2017 #GOPTaxCuts, which the poor- and middle-income must subsidize?

Quite a news day.

Trump guilty, Tucker to Twitter, Stantos charged in federal proble.

Mastodon is not the fedi, so I don't care if people say it has failed.

We haven't even scratched the surface of what is possible here.

NEW: Milo Yiannopoulos used Marj Taylor Greene’s campaign credit card to buy Kanye West campaign web domain, then transferred it to Ye the same day for $3,000 above cost, per receipts & a person w knowledge.

Legal experts told me the transactions raise a number of questions—whether Milo stole the campaign’s card and converted Greene campaign funds to his personal use while making an impermissible and unreported in-kind donation—which they said could be criminal

This is the message. Shout it from the rooftops and beat the GOP to death with it.
