This is really taking "they're only in government to benefit themselves" to the next level.

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noemβ€”South Park already nailed it.

What’s cool is that now when you yell β€œlosers” at a bunch of masked ICE goons, there’s a chance one of them is Dean Cain

β€œThe president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Kamala Harris spent 107 days giving us hope, joy, and a positive and exciting vision of the future.

Anyone who says that was a waste of time is a genuinely miserable wretch who should be ignored and shunned.

Anyone walking outside in Chicago will immediately notice the haze of smoke from Canada’s wildfires.

This is one of many public health risks brought on by climate change and with our current trajectory, it’ll only get worse. 1/3

Just got an email asking me if I'd like to platform Jake Tapper on my podcast to help him sell another book. It took everything in me to respond with a polite fuck no. But what's fun is that corporate media folk know they can get more engagement on an independent podcast than they can on CNN.

I always appreciated how Antonio Gates gutted it out through endless injuries in the last couple seasons of his career. Dude looked like he was running on broken glass, and somehow he still put up numbers.

Nothing Trump or the Republicans have done benefits the average American. It's all a grift. They're all swindlers.

That's true, they have something of a logjam brewing. I don't know if you know in A ball who to keep and who to trade, but I guess that's why they do it and not me!

This is all fantasy. There is no country giving us anything. These are all just goals and hopes just like the empty promises about private investment in the US he got from countries last term. Let us know the date the $550B & $750B checks from Japan and EU get here.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

It’s amazing how, in the 4 years since I first drew this, it went from stupidly obvious satire to totally normal talking points.

Northwestern University eliminates more than 400 staff positions amid funding freeze Northwestern University has eliminated about 425 staff positions, the latest cost-cutting measure amid the Trump administration’s funding freeze.

Trump’s funding freeze for Northwestern is already devastating staff and research capabilities. That’s the point.

That’s why it’s more important than ever for Democrats to fight for educational institutions, their workers, and their students:

Counterpoint: Augustin Ramirez was a top 50 prospect for us last year at midseason, and I think that's fared decently (we have him with a 112 drc+ thus far)

I don't understand why the administration keeps saying that other countries pay our tariffs. This is simply not true even in the most optimistic scenario (e.g., a US importer negotiates something with their foreign partner). If the policy is good, why lie about it?

I think that's my issue. That kind of competence is new to me as a Mets fan, and I'm uncomfortable with the idea that these guys are easily replaced.
