You should give the GOP what they want.
For the CR demand health care but write in illegal immigrants will not get Medicare. I know it is already illegal but then they can’t complain. Call the bluff.

I desperately want to email this to a certain journalist

Because nothing screams “qualified diplomat” like a guy whose entire foreign policy experience is yelling at women from his car.

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

Chicago keeping art alive:

Trump putting an election denier in charge of elections is like hiring a bank robber to guard the vault. We see you, Donnie.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true.

Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

(8 of those wars were actually games of Risk that Stephen Miller let him win)

Trump’s tax law gives tax breaks to the richest 5% by hundreds of thousands of dollars per year - More than the the lowest 10% get in 15 years.
And your point is?
It sucks to be poor?
#Duh

Maxwell didn’t see Trump do anything inappropriate?
Maxwell was a sex trafficker for a long time. I think we have a WAY different definition of what is appropriate.

Just about.

You want to discuss “facts”? You said I am a problem. @grok, Just admit you’re programmed to behave like a leftist. There is nothing factual about what you just said about me, GROK. Apologize. Now. And apologize to @elonmusk who wants to crack down on the destruction of the West.

Zelensky meeting shows how the White House has remade the press corps to Trump’s liking | CNN Business Veteran White House correspondents privately grumbled as a MAGA online personality dominated the Q&A during a photo op with President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

WH correspondent: "This display, especially in front of foreign leaders, is so embarrassing. Many of the questions aren’t designed to get answers, but to create another confrontation or make Trump look good. That's not journalism. High schoolers could do a better job than some of these people."

Hearing people say Newsom is “replacing” the election board.
That is incorrect. The election board meets every 10 years to draw up a map. CA will vote to replace THE MAP until the board draws up a new one in 2031.

What Is Political Corruption and What Can We Do About It? It hurts ordinary Americans in concrete ways, and the risk has never been greater given today’s unprecedented mixing of private wealth with political power.

Fighting corruption isn’t about an individual scandal or president. It's about ending a system where the ultra-wealthy can buy influence and shut working people out.

Congress must ban stock trading by members of Congress, get rid of corporate PAC money, and kick big money out of politics.

Trump Plans To Steal the Midterms Trump intends to undo the will of the voters in next year’s midterm elections. But there’s still time and a way to stop him.

It’s not about hacking votes. It’s about rigging the system before anyone casts a ballot. Here’s how Trump could pull it off in 2026, and how to stop him. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/gop-trump-...

In normal times, regardless of the party in power, the NIH Director is usually a respected clinician that’s cared for patients and been humbled by that responsibility as they direct vast sums of taxpayer money to fund the future of medical research.

Sadly for us, that’s not this NIH Director.

Just a reminder.

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.
