Shameless fear mongering.

No one should have any illusions about how all of this is going to end

Abolish Border Patrol.

The human cost of Trumpism. Listen to this kid.
Let’s assume, as is implied, that his parents came illegally but he was born here and is a citizen.
Assume they committed a crime by illegally crossing a border.
I ask: does this punishment fit the crime? Can anyone with a heart say it does??

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

The GOP is ignoring a huge swell of anger in the air and it will be their downfall.

It was the only issue on the ballot (for them at least) but obviously a lot of people cared.

The way he tells it, there were upgrades to the electric infrastructure that should have been paid for by state money but the energy company exorbitantly raised rates for consumers to pay for it.

This election was very important to my son and he made sure he and his wife voted. He had a whole long last of things we could/should do while I visited and them voting was on the absolutely must do part of the list. He's thrilled with the result.

Personally, just me, but you should probably workshop any slippery slope argument that asserts you can't denounce actual Nazis because then you'll have to go to the Jew dinner.

Maybe kick that one around the office first.

Imagine how much more about Donald Trump's crimes we would know, and how our politics would have unfolded differently, if everyone of significance had been either interviewed by the FBI or put before a federal grand jury in the spring of 2021, while memories were still fresh.

Lies, damn lies, and (made up) statistics.🙄

amazing and I had so much fun with her, helping with the kids. It was an honor to help her after the baby was born.

But now I'm home and already missing them all. Can't wait until I see them again.

son got word that he's been promoted from Firefighter to Engineer and I was able to attend his helmet ceremony yesterday. That was really special, since we weren't able to go down when he graduated from recruit school. I'm so proud of him. And spending time with his wife was so great as well. She's

Sadly, I am home after almost 3 weeks in Atlanta with my son's family. It was awesome hanging out with 2 yo Daisy and Baby Graham. Graham is so squishy and adorable and Daisy is just an absolute delight. I hated to leave them behind last night. 😢

It just so happened that I was down there when my

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.”

What are we doing?

Mamdani is a mayor, and his decisions will have no effect on the majority of the country. On the other hand, even more of us don't live in Emmer's district, yet his decisions have profound consequences for every one of us. Know who is really screwing you over.

Even if you *believed* it, can you imagine the impunity Bovino must believe he has to *admit* under oath he doesn’t believe he’s beholden to the Constitution?

If you’ve read the book recently, you’d know that the topic of conversation at last night’s White House ‘Gatsby Party’ was probably very similar to what Fitzgerald wrote in 1925.

Imagine thinking billionaires are fighting for your best interest merely because they pretend to hate the people you do so you become puddy in their hands

The Heritage Foundation the past 12yrs, like the Republican Party, went from conservative to authoritarian, from limited government to big government, from pro-free speech to anti-free speech, from secular to Christian nationalist, from “shining city on a hill” to “stay the fuck out of America.”

This account is one of the better follows on this site for any number of reasons and this thread is another example of why.

I think important, high-level national security positions should be filled with experienced, competent national security professionals, not neophytes who don’t know what they’re doing but have the right connections or past personal loyalty tests.

Sorry to get so partisan. But that’s how I feel.

This good thread aside, it’s also funny that we are meant to think Vance simply wants what’s best for organized labor. He just wants them to succeed, that’s all!

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

He may have passed the dementia test but he fails the Stupidity Test spectacularly. Dumbest fucking person to ever walk the earth in all of human history.

Dear America:

This is the same guy who once told you to inject house cleaner.

Do not take his medical suggestions seriously. Or literally.

I guess I'm just not convinced that "treat people as free and equal, especially as a matter of law, with all deserving mutual respect" is actually a minority position, and the only way to win over enough of the public is by tricking some them with appeals to bigotry. I do not think that's true.
