I am a left-of-center Democrat with a German husband and two tweenagers. Glutton for punishment. Here for Carl Sagan quotes and keen observations.

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

American Latinos wanted the rules enforced and they didnโ€™t trust the Democrats to do it. What a terrible thing.

Side note: I think Racist Goon Squads should be what we all call them

The phrase โ€œtransgender for everyoneโ€œ makes me laugh every time.

My hairdresser and I stumbled on the topic of unions. Her feeling was that joining a union should be optional at all times. I did not want to start an argument with her, so after I left, I spent a few minutes banging my head into the steering wheel.

You can't tell who's a child by the size of their vaginas.

A million claps for @jamellebouie.net for this thoughtful and dead accurate analysis.

They get all geared up and join other, equally insecure guys to collectively attack defenseless individuals. If only they knew how pathetic they look.

Iโ€™m sort of in awe of her. What is going on in her brain? Does she believe anything she says? Does she sleep at night? Does she think if she works hard and lies every day, sheโ€™ll get to lie for Satan himself one day?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

He is speaking to people who will say, โ€œYes! Give me the money! Nothing really bad will ever happen to me.โ€

Olgaโ€™s article was exactly my experience. If money were no object, Iโ€™d love to be a developer and build a neighborhood for young families. (I wonder if thereโ€™s a way to say, Youโ€™ve been here 20 years, time to go!)

Mike Johnson is like a hamster, except he's storing excuses, and he's storing them in his rectum.

I had some doubts about the Democrats' shutdown strategy but now I think it's clear they did the right thing. Republicans look like the a-holes they are.

I still can't believe this many men are willing to attack people who are going about their business and may or may not be here without permanent legal status.

Does violence come easily to #ICE? Do they beat their wives?

His opponent was possibly the coolest man ever to run for president. That is why he lost.

Hoping there was an โ€œItโ€ vs. โ€œItโ€™sโ€ debate. Wish I could have heard it.

The Washington Post Has Become Right-Wing Even Faster Than I Thought Itโ€™s not going to happen. Itโ€™s happening: The mainstream media is becoming right-wing. What are wealthy liberals going to do about it?

I have said this before, and Iโ€™ll say it again here: We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings. trib.al/ARRddzG

When Harris left her 2019 campaign, there were still 15 Democrats running. She was not popular. We didnโ€™t select her to run against Trump in 2024, and weโ€™re paying the price for her candidacy. Things mightโ€™ve been different if we had had a chance to vote for our candidate.

Yes, and thatโ€™s another weakness in our system. Sarah Palin made it clear presidential candidates are not selecting their running mates with the best interest of the people at heart.

Bidenโ€˜s withdrawal gave Democrats a fighting chance. He was going to be crushed.

S2 - Episode 1: The Harvard Plan | On the Media | WNYC Studios The Harvard Plan - our collaboration with the Boston Globe, is back! In episode one, we hear what unfolded at Harvard from Donald Trump’s inauguration to convocation 2025. Three main ...

Itโ€™s shocking to hear a Harvard Professor call Trump a โ€œmaster negotiator.โ€ Also shocking to hear that many of them werenโ€™t concerned about a 2nd Trump term. I guess scientists donโ€™t study history much? www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm... #onthemedia

My parents tiny rural community got fiber bc of it.

Maybe like 200 people across miles.

I doubt a single person knows what paid for it bc no one told them except for me mentioning it.

Every single Dem win should come with a "Dems did this" postcard and billboard campaign in the area.
