You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

I know, right? I keep thinking that, too. And then I remember that he's already confessed to SO many things right out loud, and I wonder what the watershed could possibly be...

Thaaat's me!

By the way, where is Maduro? At this point shouldn’t the Trump Administration provide “proof of life”?

The less voters knew, the more they liked Trump in 2024. Not Anymore The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Virginia Democrats release proposed map aimed at picking up 4 congressional seats Virginia’s congressional delegation could look a lot more blue.

Well, it won't make up for what Thomas Jefferson did in Virginia back in the day, but...gee, hope it works out...

Could she - or some of the others who've resigned - do us one better and share what she knows?
