Re: point 2 - Yes, absolutely. But even if it weren't fascism, we simply cannot continue in a system where the interpretation and application of rules, norms, laws, etc... depends entirely upon your party affiliation.

Are you seriously advocating for blaming people who look different?

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

First blush, Tiananmen in the foreground, Iraq in the background with a Russian tank in the middle. Simultaneously skewering the three big international bullies - all in a single frame. Well done by the cartoonist!

@schumer.senate.gov I believe you said the US would be in a constitutional crisis if Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Trump is now ignoring the Supreme Court. Please respond.

APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis ..

“.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 ..

“.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”

Historian here posting for no reason at all.

U.S. Constitution, Article II Section 4:

"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

Stop voting for his nominees?
Call for impeachment?
Fight?
Elevate AOC to a leadership position?
Get out in front of the media and point out the crimes?
Stop saying you want a strong Republican Party?
Stop citing Reagan as a good leader?

The crime in this scenario would be a Professor knowingly falsifying government documents. And the "cops" (University Administration) would absolutely see it.

This is so obvious they must know what they're doing. When elected dems take a long weekend and go have a beer, what is the average citizen to think? This is either an emergency or it is not, and the message from congress is NBD.

I do not know a single person that you describe in your second paragraph. To the extent that Gaza influenced their votes, it was exactly the death and suffering - and the Democratic Party's indifference to it.

I hate myself for being that whiny guy, but auto-renew is the work of the devil.
It seems every company does it now, but it is an enormous red flag for me as to the companies true nature.

If we want to keep the constitution, it is the only answer.
Trying to imagine how bad things would have to get before 20 or so R Senators would vote for impeachment is beyond me.

Just to be clear the National Cryptologic Museum also gave the People of Color in Cryptologic History honorees—like Wash Wong and Ralph Adams the brown paper treatment. Shameful.

They just lost an election because Americans can't afford to buy eggs. Asking for more money while partying at one of most expensive venues in the nation is more than a little tone deaf.
It's like Tail Hook for politicians. How can they still not understand optics?

Message received. The nation is in peril; the DNC throws themselves a party.
AND of course you want more money.
Worthless, clueless, spineless.

I absolutely believe you are correct, but what I can't figure out is "why?"
Musk is the richest man, Trump controls the most powerful military. Destabilizing the US risks destroying their own power. Logic says build on that base, not destroy and hope to gain more.

I was hoping for Whitmer, but she's silent and Pritzker is fighting, so Pritzker it is.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

It's like a mafia "no-show" job on a construction site. Not an example I want the US government to follow.

I would also recommend that we focus on grants to law enforcement, opioid prevention and veterans. Things that Trump voters and swing voters may particularly care about.
