Recently sacked British Home Secretary, Suella "the Cruel" Braverman, sent her former boss a resignation letter, promising to launch a coup to keep govt on the "right track." Pun intended.

Her ambition, talent, and fashion sense are close matches for Donald Trump's, as are her obtuseness and blistering sense of entitlement and victimhood. Her radical right aims make Mike Johnson and Leonard Leo look like aspiring members of the Sierra Club. Good riddance.

It’s so tiring to have to constantly bail these wacko Republicans out but a government shutdown is a non-starter.

If we avoid one, I hope the media at large gives credit where it’s due: to Democrats.

Senior officers are now retiring early instead of waiting for Sen. #Tuberville’s hold on #military promotions to end — and more will do so if the blockade continues, said the Secretary of the Army at POLITICO’s annual #Defense Summit.

No. It's an attempt to patch over a weakness in the DOJ's argument.

My prediction (or you can just call it a guess) is that most of the gag order will stand, but a few parts will be stricken.

#Salmonella #outbreak in Canada. Associated with raw pet food and contact with cattle, particularly calves.

Children under 5 make up the majority of cases.

#antibioticresistance

Another really good reason to cut way back or cut out #redmeat or other antibiotic fed meat.

Also, remember our overall population immunity is shot because so many have had #covid.

We’ll likely see more outbreaks like this over time. 😢

Day 629 of my 3 day war. Thanks to my glorious success Russia is being regularly bombed for the first time 80 years.

I remain a master strategist.

@QasimRashid that you have to explain this only proves my point: pretty much NOBODY weighing in on social media about the #israel and #palestinian #war knows what the fuck they’re talking about and just wants to “have an opinion”.

@SallyStrange Let's recall how the Republicans seized on Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment in the 2016 election, articulating that many Trump supporters were "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic." By Hillary's own analysis, Trump campaign's frequent use of that phrase to rally the Trump camp was a factor in Clinton losing the election.

Democrats, do NOT give Trump and the GOP a pass on the "vermin" comment.
