This was the official objection, from Maxwell Rice, a former Republican candidate for #IL09, who filed objections to several candidates this cycle

The hearing was this morning at 9 a.m.

This memoir I'm reading should be called William T. Sherman: Warrior Poster

"...the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride."

The decline of democracy in the US means you can’t visit the US if you commented on the decline of democracy in the US

Academic law has this "let's create a sandbox to entertain dangerous and anti-democratic ideas", people go "that's interesting work" and then it breaks confinement like a poor Alien sequel.

Law can't actually operate, as a field, on the premise that every idea is valid!

1) Unconstitutional.

2) Emil Bove is attending this event and listening to this speech.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Öztürk could have very much been killed due to her asthma medication being withheld from her. It's so infuriating to think about.

“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

YouTube video by Anders Puck Nielsen New U.S. security strategy calls for regime change in Europe

When I started making YouTube videos, I did not imagine that I would one day make one with this title. Watch here for my breakdown of the new U.S. National Security Strategy.

what aaron rupar puts in text here is actually the least bad part of the clip. the context is way worse

Happy Birch Day to you

Trump claims Democratic congresswoman married her brother: ‘Let her go back’ to Somalia "All she does is complain, complain, complain, and yet her country’s a mess," Trump said of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

This is fucking sick. Donald Trump accuses Rep. Ilhan Omar of marrying her brother and being in the country illegally and leads the crowd in chants of "Send her back." Just absolute gutter racism. White Citizen's Council level stuff, maybe even too rude for the Uptown Klan.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Admiral pushed out by Hegseth meets privately with lawmakers Adm. Alvin Holsey, who oversees military operations in Latin America, has voiced concern about the Trump administration’s activities there.

Douglass also wrote a novel about a patriotic presidential physician from Sarasota who defeats a UN plot to create one-world government. ”The book is pointed at the boob tube people, the idiots who stick in front of their TV sets all the time and never think of anything,“ he said.

This is honestly like a fractal fever dream inside a matrix inside a nightmare inside a matrix

Screenshot of the kicker from a Post article that reads: “It’s a game of chess,” said a second CBS source. “It all depends on where the chips fall.”

This mixed metaphor is killing me.

DJA: Can you put those Roger Stone conspiracy theory books away before my students come over?

Me: Are you worried they'll be offended?

DJA: I'm worried they'll be interested.

The Jet Sex had to walk so "I Identify as an Attack Helicopter" could hover menacingly.

Incidentally this Jet Sex piece is from the Sarasota County medical society's journal which someone let him edit for just three issues before they fired him for being an obvious loon.
