These are some truly hideous creatures.
Only 40% got flu shots after Hegseth ended the vax mandate on April 21, calling it an overreach; the Air Force now requires them again at the base to stop the spread. https://t.co/14inNzL6Kp

With “friends” like these, who needs a fascist collaborator? NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill rode into office on a (blue) wave of goodwill last fall, with promises to “increase government accountability”. And as recently as this past February, she signed an executive order barring ICE from operating on state-owned property.
Jesse Duquette typically reserves his wrath for Trump and the GOP.
How sad it was, then, to see her answer the pleas of the peaceful protestors at Delaney Hall by siccing the New Jersey state police on them. If nothing else, this type of betrayal serves as a reminder that (white) people in power will almost always use an increasingly violent police force to solve a problem, as that is the only tool in the box they are comfortable with.
Not just the pols.

Duopoly News, but first some non-duopoly news: a Texas Libertarian was elected to the Rosenberg city council by three votes in the May runoff elections. Meanwhile in the Big Dank City, Kuffner is scooting his booty on the carpet again over third-party candidates trying to get on the ballot (no screwworms; the vet just needs to express his anal glands). Chuckles is no longer as good at Donkey pom-pom waving as Michelle Davis, but at least he doesn't chronically pretend that voting for jackasses is about democracy, like Neil. Seriously. If Texas Democrats can't get it done in 2026, that will be nobody's fault but theirs. And sure enough, as they convene in Corpus this week, they stand a better than even chance of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by their own infighting.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told The Dallas Morning News she does not plan to attend the state convention and instead is focusing on helping down-ballot candidates across the country.
Crockett also said she’s not sure whether Democrats, particularly Black voters,…
The Texas GOP convention in Houston last week was by every account an unmitigated disaster for the 30-year majority party. The atmospheric conditions are overripe for a blue tsunami in November, but these people could f up a wet dream. I am the senior voice of experience here. If it motivates you, take my pessimism as your challenge.
