Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

This is also a not-so-veiled political warning to Johnson.

We wanted to understand what a Zohran Mamdani administration would mean for New York. So we talked to a Kentucky woman who once tied for 5th place in a swim race with a transgender woman and got really mad that she didn't get to hold the trophy.

Of course not! But it wasn’t uncommon for people to use them to buy groceries in the late 20th century and he was probably aware of that before the dementia set in.

Indeed — it’s common in dementia to recall things happening years ago and think they are occurring in the present.

He’s said this before and it now just dawned on me why he thinks you need an ID to buy groceries. His family probably used to pay by check. What’s left of his brain hasn’t gotten past 1990.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

These seem to be the three legs to the Trump regime's political stool, if you consider Trump, Vought, and Miller as the three centers of power:

Corruption (Trump)
Extreme conservative ideology (Vought)
Fascism (Miller)

Look at this ridiculous primitive country, casting out its sex pests rather than making them Presidents or Mayors or Supreme Court justices

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

But Micah! If his taxes went up, some of the money might go to a black woman in NY or a Hispanic man in CA! They don’t mind paying money, they just want control.

I think about this every time I walk past the Frick in NY. How history is forgotten…

The only solace in this is that it was an elderly billionaire American asshole and not a foreign government. He could also get this money to the military by actually paying his share of taxes, but some of them might actually go to a black woman in New York or whatever. Guy is a class A jerk.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

This is how competitive authoritarianism works. Their hubris inflates their importance (“I’m so important he will go after me”) and despite having the support of the general population for opposing Trump, they didn’t get rich through collective action and the idea of it is an anathema to them.

MAYBE THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD BE STOPPING TRUMP FROM LITERALLY TEARING DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?!?

Not since the War of 1812 has a guy wearing a crown tried to demolish the White House

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

It is incorrect that Jesus dumped diarrhea on people from a fighter jet. The Bible says it was a flaming wheel, and uses the Greek term skubalon, meaning dung. Also He did not wear a golden crown, He does not really like crowns for some reason

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

"You will only get paid if you kiss His Majesty's ring" is an interesting hill to die on, but I say go for it.

We kinda let the South walk in the 1870s too. I also sense a pattern.
