Sen. Warnock: 'We gotta have a handful of Republicans who understand that they work for the people of America and not for someone who wants to be a king. That's the moral decision for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I pray to God that they find the backbone to make the right decision.'

The biggest mistake salespeople make is they keep on talking after they have closed the deal.

It doesn't take long for buyers remorse to set in.

A very fun detail that some future narrative historian will love was how the US media considered β€œdemocracy” one of several competing issues in the 2024 election, far less important than inflation and on a par with abortion and β€œthe border.”

GREAT work by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse at the Kash Patel confirmation. Arguably, the worst cabinet nominee ever. Will servile Republicans give him a boost as well?

Trump’s Immigration Plans Are Already Wrecking the Food Industry Immigrant farm workers are too scared to show up to work.

And so it begins:

Bakersfield, CA sees massive drop off in field workers as ICE agents rounded up suspected immigrants, resulting in acres of oranges left unpicked in the California sun during the most active period of the season.

Trump Just Made Bribing Politicians Legal Again Donald Trump issued an executive order regarding receiving gifts from lobbyists.

Under Trump, it will be legal to bribe politicians again, the revolving door of Washington will continue to swing, and calls to β€œdrain the swamp” will fade into nothing more than a dull murmur.

Trump just reportedly pardoned Jacob Chansley, the β€œQAnon Shaman” who participated in the January 6 insurrection and stormed the Senate chamber.

Chansley responded to being pardoned by saying β€œNOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!”
