Rep. Michael McCaul says on Fox that House Republicans want to impeach #Mayorkas to "send a message to the administration."

No high crimes. Not even a misdemeanor! Just naked politics -- and they aren't even trying to hide it. #ClusterFox #GOPFascism

Still under the weather so I won’t post as much today. But had to post this. #Trump #EJeanCarroll #legal

Via Inner City Press: 1/…🧵

Judge Kaplan: So let me say, during the arguments and instructions, no one else is to speak...
Carroll's lawyer: We have an issue with some of the tweets, they were not entered into evidence.
Madaio: These are tweets during the five hour gap. They are objecting.
Judge Kaplan: You did not succeed in entering them. Show me the slide

[Me: wait for it…]

Just 22 when she charmed the festival crowd, she went on to enjoy success with songs like “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” and “Brand New Key.”

Hammy... Mom's gonna need extra hugs tonight; it was a ridiculously 'pooka' filled day.

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.

George #Santos was in New Hampshire last night at Trump’s party. But his conditions of release prohibit travel outside New York and DC without advanced notice to the prosecution and pretrial services. Did he tell them he was going to NH?

IOW, Santos was in New Hampshire last night putting a down payment on a pardon with his fealty JIC Trump is re-elected.

“Let me get this straight. Donald #Trump, of all people, is outraged by a candidate presenting a second-place finish as a success? He thinks it's "delusional" for someone to stick around in the wake of an electoral rebuke?

I've seen failures of self-awareness, but c'mon.” Via @stevebenen

While I can not support 99% of what Nikki Haley represents, I nominate her for the Brass Balls Award for staying in the race and allowing Trump to taste a bit of his own ridiculousness.

Aww, damn. #RIP Award-winning journalist Charles Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey. He was 91.

The cause of death was dementia, his family said.

“Garvey should hope nobody watched…

Porter: “Well, #California, I think what they say is true, ‘once a Dodger, always a Dodger,’” she zinged…”Ballots go out in 6 weeks, Mr. Garvey, this is not the minor leagues…Who will you vote for?”

Others joined in the pile-on before Garvey tried to swing back.”
