He certainly does sound desperate and desperate people do some crazy things.

This take right on the nose.

Thanks! This skewers the NY Times and exposes their lack of depth in reporting anything.

Is Bessent actually a jackass or does he just play one on TV?

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I gave up trying to understand this guy a long time ago when I realized that "All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten."

Democrats are not aligning with Jeffrey Epstein because of mutual hatred of Trump. Democrats are aligning with anyone who is working to discover the truth of Trump's involvement with a gang of sex traffikers.

Is this the modern equivalent of "I subscribe to Playboy for the articles"?

The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone “affiliated with a hostile foreign entity,” a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action.

Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways.

He could rape, torture, and kill a young woman on live TV and the Republicans would just shrug.

Of all the made-up things he blames on immigrants, claiming they are responsible for putting home ownership beyond the reach of others is totally absurd.

Does he understand that the grocery bill of $25 for 3 items is not a con job when you need milk, coffee, and bread?

This is so insane even by our insane times standards I had to verify if it's real.

It is. xcancel.com/PressSec/sta...

"Unmoored" seems like a polite euphemism for some other more serious afflictions.

What do mean "if"? It's "when". The Republicans will do ANYTHING to destroy the ACA.

When Republicans have always wanted to kill the ACA, and Thune + all the Republicans say clearly 'we will not talk about healthcare with you', believe them the first time (apologies to Maya Angelou)

You really think Thune will allow a vote?

The collective outrage over this betrayal by Dems is clear. I can't imagine why ANY Dem senator would do this.

Unaffordable health insurance premium bills.

It's a betrayal of the worst kind and the death of the Democratic party.

Thank you.

Of course it's worse than the photos. Please have some new information and not just a confirmation of what we already know.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law.

How do they plan to enforce this? I think the visuals/headlines of religious leaders being locked up for public praying would be a gift to the opposition.

She walks with such confidence!

I can't bring myself to listen to, look at, or read about Jeanine Pirro.

Doesn't she have family or friends who could step in and stop her? I mean, I'm all for her humiliating herself, but there must others who are deeply worried knowing that she would never self commit.

Tommy is soch a deep thinker.

Dems should more than worry about the reaction if they cave. They should forget about ever recovering from such a capitulation.
