hey, Sen. Ernst and Sen. Tillis- proud of your votes for Hegseth? This is on your too as much as Hegseth. You knew he was not remotely qualified

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath

consolation for the Super Bowl losing team: don't have to go to WH

Schumer is a disgrace

If Lisa Murkowski can say no to Hegseth what is wrong with Joni Ernst??

Note to Congress: YOu have the power of the purse. If you don't want US to enter a war against Iran don't fund it.

Hegseth sent operational details - very closely held. He and Gabbard said otherwise to Senate Intel. BOTH must resign immediately. If not, file articles of impeachment.

Tell Schumer and every Dem NO on CR

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

for once Dems should hold firm. let Rs close govt at Xmas. GO ahead, make my day. It's time he is responsible for his own messes.

If Hegseth goes, 2 utterly unfit nominees will have fallen without a vote. Makes it that much easier to nix Patel and Gabbard who are worst of the worst

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

LA is calm. There is NOTHING for the natl guard, let alone Marines to do. They are standing around.

ANTIFA:

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

the scariest words you'll hear from a voter: "I do my own research" cc: @radiofreetom.bsky.social

throw in the indignity of seeing his name physically scraped off Kennedy Center, the cancellation of musical has-beens from his cheesy, self-referential 250 bash, and the entirely expected torrent of boos from Knicks fans, you have the pathological narcissist’s worst nightmare: public humiliation.

What we can do about it

Bari Weiss, in six months turned a historic and respected news org into a punchline from which viewers are running like rats fleeing a ship . ..Weiss is a poisonous figure ... It’s fun to see her fail.

Bari Weiss Is A Losing Loser Who Is Losing

CBS does in fact still want to make money

Sen Dems vote against CR. Then demand a new minority leader.

Yup
