"The government's being run by Stephen Miller, who is a white supremacist.
Close to the election he'd ask me for retweets almost every day..
He sent me a text 'We need to get the white men out to vote. This will be white boy November revenge of the Kens.'
I have those texts." Ashley St. Clair, brand ambassadors for MAGA.
She's since renounced her actions & is exposing the movement & #ElonMusk , the father of her youngest child.
The whole Wajahat Ali interview is GREAT!

#Jan6th Cop beaters like Daniel Rodriguez, who tased Officer Fanone, are eligible for the #SlushFund
Do Republicans like #Nebraska Rep Don Bacon approve of that? He said there should be accountability for people who hit cops on Jan6th. But Trump pardoned them. #ToddBlanche say they can apply to get money.
Today on the @nicolesandler show @emptywheel explains how the slush fund started & how to get GOP Reps to oppose it publicly.

When is it time to arrest #Trump & put him in handcuffs?
The 1st answer was 2017, when I posted this. The 2nd answer is NOW!!

“The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy,” he told lawmakers. “If y’all could give us less than zero seats, you would do it.”

“There will be no more of your party,” he said. “The midterms gonna come, y’all gonna get wiped out,”

@skinnylatte if you go all the way to Pier 45 you can go to the Musee Mecanique cool things to photograph!

People probably aren't seeing it here but on X & Facebook there's a Troll campaign to blame Warren & Buttigieg for #Spirit shutting down. They don't want to acknowledge it's Trump's war in Iran & blocking the Strait of Hormuz that's causing the spike in the price of jet fuel.

@emptywheel is mocking them there reminding them that last week Trump said he wanted a bail out because of Competition & jobs.
Here's the clip. 59sec
"I like having a lot of airlines, so it's competitive."

I love SciFi. I really liked The Boys, but I'm having a hard time with this season. TO MUCH LIKE REAL LIFE!

When I say #TheBoys this season is too much like real life, I mean how it is portraying the way powerful people are operating in America. The storyline from last season, where they were planning to put people in private prisons started it. But now they are doing it.

The Pope is Woke! When I saw the Chicago White Sox had a Pope hat giveaway, I wanted one, but I can't get one yet, so I photoshopped one on my head.

Someone said they wouldn't want to sit behind a guy wearing one at a game, & #PopeLeo agrees, here he is in a #WhiteSox hat! Such a considerate Pontiff!

What does this #Iran agreement mean? #BarronTrump has 2 more weeks to enlist!

 (Also, new rules allow enrollment in the military for people 42 years old, so Eric can fight for freedom wherever there's trouble, GI Dough is there!)

Can we use the #25Amendment to remove a President?
My friend Barbara Hall produced this Madam Secretary episode in 2018. It explained what has to happen & who has to do it.

In 2018 Rep. Jamie Raskin tried to update the law so Congress could be involved & informed about the President's health, but it failed. We need it now.
#Iran #TrumpIsInsane

I have clips from the episode in my piece. Unlike our current REALITY, the #TrumpCabinet won't follow the Constitution. https://crooksandliars.com/2018/01/tutorial-how-remove-president-25th

I read a report the F-15 WSO was recovered alive. It's NOT verified. However, I asked @glennkirschner2 & @emptywheel if the Iranians HAD captured him, could they kill him?

OR would he have rights as a prisoner of war, based on the #GenevaConvention ?

Whiskey Pete said "no mercy, no quarter to our enemies" which, if followed, means POWs can be killed.

When the US blows up a boat, we kill the survivors. If the US doesn't follow intl law, & no one enforces it, does it matter what we do?

Brutalist #EasterBunny

"Every single member of Congress should be on TV today screaming that Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired because leading up to this he said "We will go after these people, no quarter" meaning you can kill prisoners of war.. which makes it far worse for them." @emptywheel on

#Iran shoots down U.S. #F15 fighter jet
“They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated,”
“We are unstoppable as a military force.”
#Trump April 1, 2026

“And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country; they can’t do a thing about it,” He added that the United States could strike a power plant, and “they can’t do a thing about it.” Trump March 24, 2026

Today we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.

But I know that Dr. Mae Jemson was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Also, Jemson became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemson as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.
