I replied, "I've watched her question witnesses before Congress with more skill than most lawyers in courtrooms. Stop watching Fox News. It is filling your head with porridge. Oh, and I thought you people were FOR people having jobs."

In real life, one in 500 kids who catches measles will die. And because measles is an asshole, some of them will die six to eight years later, of untreatable, incurable neurological conditions left as a parting gift by the virus.

Itβs not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms
With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

One of the most basic tenets of election security is to avoid creating a Single Point of Failure (SPF). Unfortunately, it appears that SCOTUS created a potential SPF by sanctioning DOGEβs access to SSA databases, which are now a key component of Trumpβs voter purge election strategy. 1/

A remarkable and powerful speech by Friedrich Merz at the Munich Security Conference is filled with surgically precise criticism of Trump and JD Vance. Their game will not destroy NATO or the EU, he says, but it may produce a NATO without the US. America has forfeited its leadership position.

How the Democrats Can Play Offense on Immigration
Typically, Democrats run for the hills when immigration comes up. But as two blue-state governors are showing, the winning play is actually to confront ICE and MAGA xenophobia head on.
The extraordinary courage of people who are documenting ICE atrocities in places like Minneapolis, at great personal risk, are also achieving something else: They're changing the public's mind about immigration. We have a rare opportunity here. 1/
