@RobWittman How can you be trusted to be honest about a damn thing when you'll act out a conversation because you're not brave enough to decline comment?
@MeidasTouch@Mo_Honu Republicans have been trying to dismantle the social safety nets in America since Roosevelt started them 80+ years ago. It’s part of project 2025. Electing Republicans has consequences.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.
The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.
Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
Alabama's map was blocked by a lower court for intentional racial discrimination. Twice. SCOTUS greenlit it anyway - reversing their own ruling from three years ago.
One civil rights attorney's summary: states can now "deliberately and openly discriminate against Black voters without fear of consequence."
The average lifespan of a female screwworm fly is 10 to 30 days, once they lay eggs in an open wound they hatch and the maggots feed for 7 days before dropping to the ground, burrowing into the soil and emerge as adult flies.
Tell me then how can the first screwworm case detected in the US on day 498 of the trump presidency be Joe Biden's fault???????
Maybe DeSantis should not have spent $991 million in taxpayer dollars on Alligator Alcatraz, including $219 on a single porta potty company. Misuse of public funds has consequences and now it’s us taxpayers that are paying for it.
We are ten years into allegations of widespread election fraud - only for elections Trump or republicans lose, mind you - for which Trump and allies have either not produced evidence, or claimed evidence which was subsequently debunked. And blatant contradictions - such as celebrating wins under the same laws and practices while confidently declaring theft for any losses - are now the norm.

There’s been a lot of public money spent in the US towards this World Cup.
Here’s a mad one: the $25.8m spent by Kansas City to get a jail ready for the World Cup, only for it not to be ready by the World Cup…

The postal workers' union said it plainly: the Postal Service is not a tool for politicians to pick which Americans get which benefits. A DOJ filing revealed DHS wants to use it to monitor mail-in ballots and generate investigative leads on voters. Congress created USPS as independent of the White House. That independence is what is being dismantled right now.
California and Wisconsin have already documented slower ballot delivery since the USPS policy changes began. The NAACP says the new rule violates a binding 2021 settlement requiring timely ballot delivery through 2028. And a DOJ filing revealed DHS is exploring using USPS to monitor mail-in ballot flows and generate federal investigative leads on voters. All three tracks running at the same time.
