The opposite of my experience in Knoxville, TN, where the only black person I saw was a jazz pianist playing in the lobby.

So all warfare can be justified as β€œdefensive” if the other side possesses a military with weapons.

Got it.

Just a reminder: CBS News may be tanking, but as long as Bari Weis still heads up that disaster we need to avoid that network like the plague.

Watch Colbert. Turn everything else off.

🎯 I never paid to play baseball and flag football as a young kid. Totally different for my son. We paid a LOT. Tournaments were held at for-profit facilities.

No mail in ballots because...China?

No drop boxes because...Iran?

No electronic voting because...Venezuela?

No voting because...Trump might lose.

Maybe Dowd can blame this take on her Trump-loving brother.

Live Updates: U.S. and Israel Strike Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government

Pointless killing so a weak man can feel stronger for a few days.

All because Trump tore up the US-Iran nuclear arms control agreement because a Black president had signed it into law.

β€œIf Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

Surely Marc Andreessen is outraged over this attempt by Trump to force an AI company to kiss his ring.

Every new deposition is just anther opportunity for everyone to reexamine Trump's ties to Epstein and Trump's own record of sexual assault.

Comer's incompetence is weirdly helping Democrats.

Comer is totally lost. He's trying to steer everything away from Trump but between his incompetence and the continuing trickle of information implicating Trump that's not going to happen. He'd be better off shutting down his committee.

Every thought Trump has about voting is wildly unconstitutional. He wants to make voting difficult for everyone and next to impossible or at a minimum more expensive for women, people with disabilities, and low income voters.

πŸ–• Trump.
