This election is now about our national identity. Trump depicting the Obamas as monkeys, candidates unleashing antisemitism and Islamophobia, ICE detaining a 5 yr old in bunny ears, the Epstein files. It's all vile.

We will never make America great again if we don't first make America good again.

Republicans in Congress will say nothing to criticize this. Mike Johnson will say he hasn’t heard about it, Fox News will ignore it, Megyn Kelly will laugh at it, and Carlson & Fuentes will state that Black people really are apes.

The GOP is now run by these people, but NYT will put it on p. A16.

I match your bet with my bet that this was all agreed upon within the party.

This is not the same as that. I hate what he did tonight but let’s not go conspiracy theory. Iran most definitely had the tools.

I draw the line back to Bush v. Gore. We were all screwed ever since.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

In Mexico, Gov. JB Pritzker positions Illinois as a β€˜stable and reliable trade partner’ amid Trump tariffs At close of trade mission to Mexico, Gov. JB Pritzker positions Illinois as a β€˜stable and reliable trade partner’ amid President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

As Governor, I’m working every day to make the lives of Illinoisans easier and our future brighter.

My administration is not afraid to strengthen international relationships and find new partners that will invest and help move our state forward. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/04/02/i...

Hey, for any particular thing you're furious about, one good way to channel that energy until April 1 is to do some phone banking to help Judge Susan Crawford beat the Trump henchman that Elon Musk has spent about $18 million to put on the WI Supreme Court

"And we should look to that playbook of attacks on civil rights era resistance to anticipate what may come next. That means preparing for personal attacks on the character/integrity of β€œresistance leaders” and infiltration of resistance organizations– especially given the new leadership of the FBI."

When I was in the USAF and had a TS Clearance I almost went to prison for 5 years for being a threat to national security because I was gay. Didn't disclose secrets, didn't do anything. Just EXISTED. Yet these fools just breached our national security and it's "just another day at the office."
