I see her facial masks made of slaughtered-infants' baby fat are working well.

A former F.B.I. agent who was charged with encouraging the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to kill police officers has been named as an adviser to the Justice Department task force that President Trump established to seek retribution against his political enemies.

The former agent, Jared L. Wise, is serving as a counselor to Ed Martin, the director of the so-called Weaponization Working Group, according to people familiar with the group’s activities.

Mr. Martin, a longtime supporter of Jan. 6 defendants, was put in charge of the weaponization group in May after Mr. Trump withdrew his name for a Senate-confirmed position as the U.S. attorney in Washington. His nomination faltered in part because of the work he had done as an advocate and defense lawyer for people charged in connection with the Capitol attack.

Even in a Justice Department that has often been pressed into serving Mr. Trump’s political agenda, the appointment of Mr. Wise to the weaponization task force was a remarkable development. His selection meant that a man who had urged violence against police officers was now responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.

Okay, yes, that’s reprehensible at pretty much every level, but have you considered that Harris didn’t support working people?? Enough?

What a fashionable cat-about-town!

Presuming the other person is also her. Which, if so, is odd that the one R donation came in from a different address and type of donation.

Big Tech didn't used to be fascist.

Somewhere around firing everyone and AI they just said fuckit, masks off.

Fucking Microsoft.

What an excellent platform. Gosh it would be so hard for me to leave a fascist information sewer and tracking network with AI generated ‘facticles’.

In neighboring Fulton County, the local Republican party filed a lawsuit this month arguing the county’s board of commissioners violated state law by rejecting their nominees.

The party sought to reappoint Julie Adams and add right-wing activist Jason Frazier. Adams refused to certify last year’s primary election results. She also has ties to the far-right Election Integrity Network, while Frazier has challenged voter registrations in Fulton County and sued the board last year over its response to his challenges.

“It’s not possible to work with folks trying to sow discord and chaos,” Commissioner Mo Ivory said before voting to reject Adams’ reappointment.

However, the GOP insists its nominees meet the specified qualifications and therefore must be approved by the board.

Madness.

Ending deductions for SNAP recipients

There are some allowances Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients can claim that adjusts their income to more adequately reflect their household expenses and better determine their SNAP benefit amounts. Two of those allowances are for utilities and basic internet costs. The bill Vance just cast the tie-breaking vote to pass eliminates these allowances, saving the federal budget around $17 billion.

Death cult. Not a fun one, either.

Lisa Tate, farmer in Ventura county who donated $250 to republiQan Sen. Suzette Martinez Valladares?

Sen. Valladares who founded a Republican Latino caucus in the CA legislature, saying

the Democratic-led Latino Caucus would support "antiquated solutions" to issues such as farmworkers' rights that “keep Latinos under the monolithic umbrella of being poor, agricultural workers.” ?

Huh.

That sounds straight-up stupid.

“That’s not the modern-day Latino,” she said.

…The 35-member Latino Caucus, historically led by Democrats after the first Latino lawmakers were elected in 1962, has focused on a wide range of policy priorities, including giving protections and equal access to immigrants regardless of legal status, promoting STEM programs in schools and expanding paid sick leave and housing to farmworkers.

“Even in the Latino Caucus, you have moderates, progressives and everything in between,” Miguel Santiago, a Democratic former Assembly member and Latino caucus member. “But one thing that has always united us through every argument is our unwavering support for Latino communities, particularly those who are undocumented.”

Santiago said that he is “skeptical about the sincerity” of the Hispanic Legislative Caucus representing Latino interests, particularly when it comes to protecting the undocumented and that those differences “are irreconcilable.”

Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood), former Assembly speaker who left behind a legacy of progressive reforms, including giving farmworkers overtime pay and expanding childhood education, agrees that there should be a Latino caucus for each party.

"I never understood why they wanted to be part of our caucus other than obstructing us," he said. "They would just yell, we'd take a vote, and they'd lose."

Yes but if you’ll look closely, you’ll see that every socialist, anarchist, communist, green, and libertarian member of the Senate did not vote for this bill.

Democrats, meanwhile, were all in the room with them while they perpetrated evil. Isn’t that just like liberals?!

_{Yes kidding.}

Ah, you must not know any MAGAts. Their boundless capacity for cognitive dissonance is a fundamental trait.

The better to fascist you with, my dear

Find me the quotes where Democrats say let's come to an agreeable compromise and I'll match them with Democrat quotes actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics. Heck I'll triple them.

The issue is that corporate news sewers do not care about the public's interest or a healthy government. They care about money, and Elmo stories generate money.

That's why the Democrats have to start lighting some shit on fire.

Some history for those of you who may have missed it due to not being born yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge_standoff

They’re the same picture

The Mauna Loa laboratory in Hawaii has measured atmospheric carbon dioxide, which — along with other planet-warming pollution — has led directly to climate change, driving sea level rise, supercharging weather and destroying food systems.

It’s pretty much too late, and already halfway through 2025, but CNN is reporting straight up that climate change is (a) real, true, verifiable and (b) caused by humans.

Thanks CNN. I guess.

tfw this drugged out fuckwit gets more press for shitting on trump than the entirety of the Democratic party.

This picture looks AI. wtf
