Yeah I can't imagine Detroit commuters being OK with blocking as bridge project that would dramatically decrease their drive time.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I'm pretty confident we wouldn't be seeing Kamala fighting to protect herself from allegations of raping children, nor her staff being dragged in front of Congress weekly for lying about raping children and murdering citizens.

There's a lot of people who are so intellectually lazy they can't lift a finger to understand what is actually happening, how the government works, etc, etc. They found that they could get attention and clicks by channeling their rage at dems and they don't care about the details.

The more I think about that conservative dem mayor of San Jose getting into the governor's race, the more I wonder if he is literally compromised in some way. It's a very strange decision. Someone is leading him into it imho. the jungle primary creates a hazard of minority rule, and spoilers help.

'Abolish ICE' is imperative It's also better politics than you might think.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative

"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

โ€œJust let us kidnap your neighbors,โ€they say. โ€œJust let us terrorize the schools. Just be quiet about it. Donโ€™t be so heated. Turn down the rhetoric and let us grab them. Just let us grab them. We have nothing else. We need to attack them and grab them and steal them. Itโ€™s all we have. Just let us.โ€

How did worshipping bernie while he named post offices and Kamala Harris had a more progressive record work out? How did having no strategy and no idea how the government is structured work out? lol. Clowns.
