Big day for Tommy Tuberville today. He will soon be the undisputed titleholder of America’s Dumbest Senatorℒ️. Although maybe Fetterman will step up and contest him?

I just hope that people spit in Kristi Noem’s food every time she eats out for the rest of her life, since she’s spitting in the face of immigrants all over America.

He knows how hard line cooks and dishwashers and bussers work and that they’re just regular people trying to make a better life for themselves, no matter where they came from.

Bourdain understood how important immigrants are to our country and was trying to tell us that back in 2017.

This is Bibi’s war, and Americans shouldn’t be fighting and dying in it.

The current bubble in the stock market rivals the dot com era, but now it’s even more concentrated in a few companies and there’s massive amounts of leverage at play that weren’t as big of a factor then.

The air quotes as he refers to Corey Lewandowski as Noem’s β€œspecial advisor” has me absolutely howling. πŸ˜‚

I read this a while back, and it really gave me a sense of how much the right uses the same playbook against trans people that they spent decades using against gay people. scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/hlr/vol29/is...

First the USA requests help from the Kurds then afterwards sells them out. The United States has no allies now and won’t have until it is earned back if that is possible

It's amazing to me the degree to which Israel runs like a proto-state: maintaining a frontier zone at a loss in order to defend (or, at least, create the impression of security in) its core
