Yes indeedy doo!!
Rich Logis's short memoir, Leaving MAGA, is a fascinating read. Rich is a smart guy who had good reasons for distrusting the traditional political establishment - but now understands that the trump/maga narrative was false and a trap. Now he's helping others find their way out. @leavingmaga.org
This is how you write a goddamn headline.
Remember how Trump and MAGA blamed Biden constantly for a "botched" Afghanistan withdrawal (largely caused by Trump's lack of planning)? That was nothing compared to the complete and utter lack of preparation by the Trump administration for withdrawing US personnel and citizens from Iran.
What's even more disgusting is the maga voters and Republican politicians who aren't malignant narcissists and don't have dementia but read that & think it's perfectly fine (or if they secretly think it's not perfectly fine, they're still willing to say that the emperor's clothes are just beautiful)
Also as far as yesterday goes it seems like maybe we don't need to invade Iran after all?
...and apparently, that was such a controversial thing to say that he had to be kicked out of the room and the GOP wants to censure him... so in other words, they think that black people *ARE* apes?!?
I am a cisgender woman. I can't count the number of times that I've used a men's bathroom (because the women's bathroom was too crowded, the women's bathroom was out of order, the women's bathroom was closed for cleaning...)
In over 20 states, that's illegal & in some states, I could be arrested.

I feel like we have not been hearing nearly enough about the degree to which trump's budget cuts and grant cancellations have derailed scientific research in the US.
Searing testimony from former ICE training officer Ryan Schwenk - who resigned from ICE in order to testify before Congress. An American hero.
Lots of great points here. The US (or the trump administration & Republicans in Congress) somehow thinks it can run around the world bombing and killing countries and people, but would be shocked, shocked!! if somebody else did that to us. (In fact, we would call them war criminals and terrorists.)
This is seriously ignorant. Are you saying we can't elect a person who is religious? (And BTW Jasmine Crockett talks A LOT about her faith and her childhood as a daughter of a preacher.)
They all think that MAGA will be in power forever, and that Trump will pardon them all in advance anyway
"80% of voters want the SAVE Act." No, 80% of voters support normal ID requirements, not the ridiculously restrictive ID requirements in the SAVE Act.
Actually, 80% of supporters of the SAVE Act on social media are probably Russian and Chinese bots who already can't vote in the US.
@staceyabrams.com is so wonderful. Here she lays out with crystal clarity why SAVE and other restrictive voter ID laws are pernicious. NOBODY objects to requiring an ID to vote -- suppression arises with *restrictive* ID or other requirements that prevent large numbers of citizens from voting.
I dunno, what if Crockett wins and turns into Nicki Minaj? 😜
Don't forget "grift and pocket lining for contractors"
So quaint
"The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important." open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
This all sounds pretty fraudulent (if true) and like the kind of case that I would actually support prosecuting through appropriate channels (as the DOJ is, surprisingly doing), instead of grabbing essentially innocent people off the street and sending them to gulags.

Dear Ms. Bradley,
SHAME ON YOU.
Oh I get it, ICE didn't "chase" him (since they are NOT SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE IN VEHICLE CHASES), they just "followed" him, so it's all totally not their fault or anything to do with them that special education teacher Linda Davis died pointlessly.

Including reimbursing people for time and money lost to leave work and travel to the places they have to go to in order to obtain those documents.
Fine claims this racist remark was in response to a pro-Palestinian who posted something saying that dogs are unclean. The Christian Bible says repeatedly that dogs are unclean. So... Christians are also bad, right, Randy?

"Shut up, Elon" is about the best summary of what Elon should do that I've seen.
Dude isn't even FROM this country and he thinks he can tell us what America is all about. He is pathetically wrong.

If they do rename Penn Station after Trump, we shall all henceforth need to request our tickets by saying, "One ticket to Fucking Asshole Station, please."
"Meet you outside Douchcanoe Station."
"Take me to Raging Pile of Human Garbage Station, and step on it!"
Just heartbreaking, awful, embarrassing, tragic, appalling.
