Five years ago, the right was calling for Andrew Cuomo’s imprisonment.

Now they’re portraying him as the savior of western civilization.

What a time to be alive.

Trump could demolish the entire White House and replace it with a new “Trump Tower” and Republicans wouldn’t object.

Mainstream Republican politicians are openly attacking the patriotism of the millions of citizens protesting today, branding them “America-haters” and “communists.”

This is NOT normal.

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back. He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S. Then ICE arrested him. If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

Delnaz, I saw KB4 is hosting a conference in London on the 23rd. Thought I’d mention it in case it’s something you want to check out.

We still have all my stuffed animals from when I was a child. They belong to our kids now, but they never leave the house—I’m too afraid of them getting lost. 😢

I thought I remembered an article! That’s cool that you interviewed James. Hoping I’ll cross paths with him at a conference later this month.

It would barely move the needle. Trump believes he can do whatever he wants—and he’s largely correct.

If we’re being honest, both parties often get Iran wrong. They’ll amplify communists, terrorists, and Israeli-funded monarchists—anybody except actual Iranians in Iran. It’s so typically American to believe we know better than the people living under tyranny every day.

With his declaration of Antifa as a terrorist organization, Trump is preparing to wage, and very likely lose, a war against an organization that doesn’t exist.

John Thune voted to confirm RFK Jr. He knew RFK Jr. had these types of beliefs. He knew that Donald Trump had spent years talking about the debunked link between vaccines and autism and he endorsed Trump anyway.

Acetaminophen was all my wife could take during pregnancy. It barely took the edge off her back pain, but it was better than nothing. Do Republicans want pregnant women to be miserable?

Wait, don’t answer.

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes.

That’s what this is.

If you want people to have good things to say about you in death, live a life worthy of their respect and admiration. Be authentically good.

Treat others w/compassion instead of dehumanizing hatred.

I will go to my grave with no shame.

Life is but a moment, so leave a legacy you’d be proud of.

Is that confirmed? Everything I’ve seen points to incoherent ideology.

There’s a reason Putin waited until Trump was back in the White House before attacking a NATO member. Trump has shown catastrophic weakness toward Russia. On the rare occasion he talks tough, he *never* follows through. This would not be happening if Harris were president.
