You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

This is why Obama is one of the most popular presidents.
He supports Americans.
While Trump aways finds a way to disparage them

You can read the news and its sober people just straight up saying, โ€œoh yeah the president of the United States is probably going to steal that oil money and we all kind of know it.โ€ And apparently thatโ€™s just how it is now.

โ€˜Abolish ICEโ€™ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

Can they also pass a ban on strangling babies in their sleep? Because that would another thing that's already illegal being banned that sounds like a win.

Um, I know open primaries and if one candidate gets SEVENTY PERCENT OF THE VOTE AS A WRITE-IN, that mofo won the election. Whatโ€™s this runoff bullshit.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, the top federal judge in Minneapolis, rips into ICE:

"ICE is not a law unto itself."

"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

in political comms, waking up to something like "she was a parttime yoga instructor who also runs a facebook group of 163 people who like old movies, but recent events have caused her to mobilize against you" is the equivalent of being woken up on a flight by the sound of someone starting a chainsaw

I know it doesn't matter what the movie does since the whole point of this was for Amazon to openly give trump a $40 million bribe, but I am a little happy because you know Melania didn't want it to suck THIS bad. She was probably like "oh you know, it's OK if it's only seen by a few million people"

Alex Prettiโ€™s Killer May Be Part of His Union Border Patrol agents belong to the same federal workers union as VA nurses, a situation some of Prettiโ€™s colleagues are determined to change.

As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.โ€

This was nonsense. Just glad I had a metal garden shovel available because the snow shovel wasn't cutting it.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

(not that the vacant lot is going to shovel itself but at least there's an owner that could theoretically be fined for it)

Worse here is when it's city property because then it's never happening.

If you clear your driveway but not the sidewalk in front of your house you are a particular kind of asshole

BREAKING: Now that TikTok is under US-based ownership, the social media app potentially collects more detailed information about its users, including precise location data.

Iโ€™ve never heard of a โ€œlaw enforcementโ€ agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And thatโ€™s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as youโ€™ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.
