This twitchy bastard wants MAGA suckers to believe there's no such thing as Marbury v Madison and judicial review.

The image shows two X posts. The first, by Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem
) from 1 hour ago, states: "'Take care of' is not subtle. This weekend the ground has shifted and no person can deny what the president, unpopular and unfit, intends. To remain silent is to welcome this. They can both sides or claim they didn't hear, but there is no wiggle room about his plans now." The second, by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar
) from 6 hours ago, quotes Trump addressing the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats." The post includes a photo of Trump speaking to a group in Navy uniforms, with a caption noting he "called the Democrats. They want to give all of our money to illegal."

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

Dennis would be 85 today.
Wise and loving, Dennis enjoyed sweets and Levi Garrett tobacco. He had a soft spot for anyone struggling in life.
He and his wife were killed at church along with 25 other attendees.

Who's Bankrolling 'A Precarious State,' Rick Kupchella's New Twin Cities Doomer Doc? - Racket Plus Replacements biopic in the works, enter the STOP Slumlords Ordinance, and Barn Bluff history in today's Flyover news roundup.

I watched the whole thing (huge pain tolerance for ingesting bad media), and every "solution" involves lower corporate tax rates, deregulation, and punching left. It's the same old project, nothing new here.

Handmaids of MN stood up for women and reproductive rights today at the Life Chain in St Michael. Women are not incubators, abortion is healthcare, and all people should have the power to choose what is right for their own bodies.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
