"cause I care about" = fall of democracy and rise of authoritarianism. By his own word, this isn't some random Go Fund Me ๐Ÿ™„

Pritzker is a fucking billionaire. Forgive me if I think these people are completely full of shit

Once Newsom liquidates his restaurants, vineyards, and other assets and pumps that money into democratic campaigns across the country, I'll take him seriously.

Until then, he's just another rich asshole using a crisis to benefit himself

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

What could possibly go wrong by not giving people an opportunity to change their mind?

Perhaps liberals should stop being purists and start welcoming people into our coalition

Being dismissive about this crime is exactly the wrong way to handle this situation

The left is still struggling to communicate with people and when someone on the right does it very effectively, we call him a Nazi and move on rather than acknowledge, "damn they are good at this, maybe we need to figure this out for ourselves"

This is a terrible headline for what is actually a well articulate piece. It's not praising Kirk's positions, just his effectiveness at getting his message across.

Literally no new organization is reporting this. Maybe just pause for a second and let the dog clear up before reposting Trump for engagement

This is a great reminder that Democratic strategists are overpaid idiots and the reason Dems consistently fail is because they have abandoned listening to real people in favor of overpaid DC consultants that have no idea what is going on outside of their multi-million dollar homes.

The cost of profiting off of illegal material is $5 million.

Just stunning how useless our federal agencies are.

The issue here is that it won't be just kids whose parents are misinformed and gullible.

It will be every infant and child who is not old enough to receive a vaccine who will be at risk.

Fun fact: If Vance takes over as president before January 20, 2027 and completes Trump's term, he will only be eligible to run for President for 1 more term based on the 22nd Amendment.

DC has an incredibly high youth unemployment rate, just like many places around the country.

I might be crazy, but maybe we should pay young people to do jobs that deliver for the public instead of the National fucking Guard.

No, they are completely wrong. America's economic prosperity has been built on the research and technology we've invested over the long term, something that no corporation would be able or willing to do. And it has returned massive wealth to the US economy and federal government

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning.

Please take care when watching.

I'm sure silicon valley and the VC community are loving this.

Corruption pays, just not for regular people.

The Dems have festering strategic and leadership problems, and it would go a long way if they would acknowledge it and try something different

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Reacting to every insane thing trump says is how we ended up with trump in the first place, so this actually feels like an improvement for the media

House investigates Catholic nongovernmental organizationsโ€™ role aiding migrants Catholic Charities USA and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops are among those named in the investigation.

The House Committee on Homeland Security is investigating the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Charities USA for allegedly having "used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity" by migrants (ie, providing care to migrants and refugees). www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/264743/...

Why aren't they marching together?? It's just a bunch of dudes walking in a loosely rectangular pattern, no synchronization.

This was always the game. Let the child come in, wreck the place, and then boot him out while blaming him for all the bad stuff.

Elon is a moron and Trump used him to rip apart the federal government so he could keep his hands clean.

If you ever go to Switzerland you'll see they post everything in 4 languages in public and their government also operates using multiple languages. Last I checked, they are doing just fine.

This would impact driverless vehicles and a host of other non-mechanical systems. An "automated decision system" defined broadly could be a robot, a software tool, literally anything with embedded AI or machine learning that takes action from a data input that isn't a human brain.
