It’s just that simple. That people continue to defend that degenerate is beyond me.

The Republican-controlled House and Senate refused their constitutional obligations today by not initiating the War Powers resolution. But they did not affirm, authorize, or support the war at all in any way. It remains completely illegal.

Mullins is super unhinged. So this should go great!

Beck’s AI George Washington looks like those guys who use the power of sun rays to cleanse their private parts.

A great question. And one that says a lot about Platner to have Grim coming to his defense.

Can confirm some elected dems spend WAY too much time worrying about what the right wing has to say.

Texas is first big primary of the midterms. Here’s when election results will come in The road to the Senate majority runs through the Rio Grande β€” with a detour through late-night TV. Eric Garcia breaks down the good, the bad and the ugly in the Lone Star State

We are seeing the best possible outcome that Democrats could want: Talarico gets a clean win and gets a six-week head start while Paxton and Cornyn cut each other up for two weeks.

Comparatively sure. But a boss, like the boss, should not be making comments like that to staff.

These probabilities, and so many others, are why no one has done this before. You can’t just ignore them or think it’ll all blow over. This one doesn’t blow over. It lasts years.

Trump is lying.

I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.

There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran.

I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

A lot of norms that kept us safe and secure have been tossed out the window the last year. It won’t end well.

Funny to watch all of the β€œCIA topples governments” leftists and QAnon folks go silent as the Trumpers unleash the worst overuse of military and intelligence assets since the 1950s.

For those wondering, Hotchkiss was explicitly founded as a feeder school for Yale which banned women until the 1970s.

Graham Platner is in every reasonable definition an elite cosplaying as a member of the working class, something Trump did to remarkable effect.

It's all vibes for y'all out there

In this small Maine diner, life was pretty simple. Go to Hotchkiss, put in a hard day’s work at the business mommy bought you, relax in your $20,000 midcentury modern chair, and hang out with nazi influencers. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.
