Weird how all these ICE agents cosplaying Tier One operators have yet to enter a known violent gang area to make arrests.

Have we considered the possibility that this man has simply lived one of the mostly uniquely eccentric lives of any person in a century?

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

1. I was an opponent of the Tea Party.
2. I was Never Trump from the very start, including signing the letters that I would never work in the administration.
3. Posts like this happen when you create stories about people you were not aware existed until you got mad about something.

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says β€˜tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

A great soul if ever there was one

So many hot takes about who will win/lose the shutdown, but so little discussion about what's at stake. The stakes here are whether Congress makes the law or the president can rule by diktat. Everything else is commentary.

Say what you will about John Roberts, but he knows how to write a powerful decision when the stakes are high. The reasoning on display here is impressive--compelling, yet beautifully written. I'm in awe.

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps β€œyour side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism.
And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid).
Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb.
The same Dr. Oz who is now the
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration.
Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus
"cure."
This isn't public health.
It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trumpβ€˜s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

The remarks for which Jimmy Kimmel was suspended weren't about Donald Trump-or even Charlie Kirk

They were about the shooter

But that's beside the point

Because the First Amendment permits insensitive speech-even if it criticizes our government

That's the difference between democracy and fascism

I was a lobbyist back then. Those floors in heels were a bitchβ€”no other was to say it. They were a big part of how/why I left lobbying. I had an ankle injury that surgeries made worse. You can’t spend 12-14 hr/day on those floors regardless of footwear with a bad ankle.

Said auditor general was a misogynistic creep who only dated women half his age. Met him once. Instant dislike.

The Dwyer incident was a couple of months before Ben and I met in one of my former lives. I’ve had more careers than most people my age have had jobs. The blessing and curse of ADHD.

Ben covered state politics for (I think) 23 years. To say he’s a political junky is an understatement.
