"Rojas Pliego said 'at no moment' were there agents in front of or behind the van during the stop. 'He was going to surrender,' the witness said of Salgado Araujo, adding he never attacked or threatened officers."

“We were only going to work,” Rojas Pliego said. “I only ask for justice for him, his family and the workers.”

Hunter Biden: “As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his son. Fuck his daughter. I mean it, all of them, the whole family down to the grandchildren. I hope for the rest of time their names will live ignominy. They have done the most awful things to my family and to me”

Abdul El-Sayed:

“AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people.

I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people.

The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel.”

He is absolutely right!

@AlliFlowers Right, they for sure are.

There's no question though, who played who to get the world's most powerful military embedded in Netanyahu's operation to keep his justice-evading wars cooking.
Bibi obviously just needed to tell dozing Don "What's in it for you? Hooray, you'll be able to take Iran's oil!", being well aware that defeating the Revolutionary Guards & just pouching Iranian oil production would be far from being the easiest job.

Reading prepared remarks at her Senate confirmation hearing as the president’s nominee to run USAGM, Sarah Rogers praises (VOA) correspondents in the field “who work daily in the line of fire” to tell the world what’s going on. Too bad she doesn’t realize Kari Lake got rid of them.

Mark Kelly: "We have an incompetent Secretary of Defense who in no way was qualified for this position. This is the guy who runs around on the stage talking about killing people and lethality and testosterone. The military doesn't need more testosterone. It needs better leadership."

#Cornyn responded with a post of his own, in which he said #Trump “is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me & Senator #Tillis.”

A refusal by the #Senate to confirm #ToddBlanche would be a notable political setback for Trump, marking a rare instance when the #GOP-led chamber blocked something he wanted. But even if Cornyn & Tillis’s concerns remain unaddressed, Blanche could remain “acting” AG for the foreseeable future.

Sen. Ron Johnson: "Dr Fauci fear-mongered, scare-mongered just like he did with AIDS. Remember that? 'AIDS is gonna be household transmission.' No, that's not it. But he did that the same way because he's a vaccinologist."

Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.

Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

NY Times: Uninsured Patients Rise Sharply, Hospitals Report, Citing Obamacare Cuts

More people who lost coverage after congressional Republicans ended enhanced federal subsidies are now seeking care in emergency rooms and unable to pay bills.

Chairman Carr’s weaponization of the FCC is an attack on the First Amendment.

It is critical that individuals and orgs - like Disney - standing up to fascism have your/our support.

Courage is contagious.

“He actually said the words ‘Get to the point’ to us,” Epstein survivor Dani Bensky said about her meeting w/Blanche. “We’re survivors who have been waiting to meet w/him for nine months, eight months.”
