WE SAVED ARGENTINA INSTEAD

NPR reported in 2024 that Trump’s circle allegedly urged Netanyahu not to finalize Biden’s ceasefire proposal— to wait so Trump could claim it after his election victory. Netanyahu, facing criminal prosecution at home and needing Trump’s political cover, agreed. The framework sat on the table gathering dust while the political calendar aligned for Trump’s preferred timing.

The cost of that delay: approximately 20,000 additional Palestinian deaths.

#Louisiana appealed to #SCOTUS but
eventually added a second majority Black district after the justices’ 5-4 ruling in 2023 that found a likely violation of the #VotingRightsAct in a similar case over Alabama’s congressional map.

#JohnRoberts & Justice Brett #Kavanaugh joined their 3 more liberal colleagues in the #Alabama outcome. Roberts rejected what he described as “Alabama’s attempt to remake our section 2 jurisprudence anew.”

BREAKING: Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva says Speaker Johnson is delaying her swearing-in — not because of procedure, but because she’d be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

“He’s silencing 800,000 Arizonans and stalling democracy just to keep those files sealed.” 👀

This is Juliane Gallina Gloss, Deputy Director of the CIA. Her 21 year old son was tragically killed fighting in the Ukraine-Russia War. He had volunteered to fight with the Russian forces.

I’m gonna repeat that:

Sometimes Fox News inadvertently acts like a news outlet.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mark Hertling: “For the record, there are 17 pages worth of requirements, and the only people that buy this shortened version from Hegseth are truly dummies.”

Dems can keep paying consultants for talking points, keep holding press conferences, and keep pretending like we live in a redeemable timeline—but we live with a co-opted executive branch led by racist, xenophobic idiots who do not believe in law & are empowered by a slavish SCOTUS. https://trib.al/J6F0Q47

This is horrifying. Not surprising. Or unbelievable. It’s just, seeing it out in the light.

Alex Dwyer, Anne KayKaty, Bobby Walker, Joe Maligno, Luke Mosiman, Peter Giunta, Samuel Douglass, Brianna Douglass, and Rachel Hope.

Know their names. Know that they are repugnant trash. Ostracize and ban them from everything.

Young Nazis, not Young Republicans. Literally.

Not even a week in and prosecutors in the Jim Comey case have SEKRITS. I'd give at least a 25% probability that the judge requires this unsealed (there's no sign of permission to sign it under seal). Maybe it's about Trump's fee fees.

CHRIS CHRISTIE (a Republican): “This is no longer the Department of Justice. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so.”

"We’re talking to the state's attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law," he said: https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/the-tables-will-turn-one-day-pritzker-blasts-ice-cbp-chicago.amp

In honor of breast cancer awareness month: it's really hard to get an accurate statistic but MANY many cancerous lumps are found by romantic partners.

Please, don't be afraid to say something if you feel like you detected a lump in your partner's breast. It's not an insult. It's okay if it's benign and you worried them for 'nothing' because breast cancer treatability is very dependent on stage. Early detection matters so much.

Be brave, if you feel something, say something 🩷

The joy of the day is tempered with deep sorrow. The families of twenty-eight hostages wait for news that their loved ones will be restored to them for burial. 💔

And it is impossible not to think of the many other hostages who were murdered in captivity, and their grieving families.

When Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling out her own party, you know it’s bad.

She says she’s “carving [her] own lane” — and blasting GOP leaders for having no plan as health insurance premiums are set to double if tax credits expire.

“Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us or has given us a plan.” 💥 https://shorturl.at/Ukm9J #press

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
