Not a popular take on this site but I think we may have underestimated the political savvy of Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; β€œReconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.

In honor of today, take a moment to read the entire Declaration. It is staggering what we are facing today vs the grievances documented against the King in 1776.

Haven’t seen any coverage of the fact that the cuts in the big bill go through 2034 and most don’t kick in until after November 2026. People are not going to feel the full pain of the bill until after the midterms.

Coincidence?

Only when not seeking reelection. We need leadership from both parties to take principled stances.

He is not well. My take is that his advisors saw him not holding his own with the other G7 leaders and needed to get him out of there.

The longer people feel this way makes it harder to build/rebuild political movement/organization that will be successful in future elections.

He won running on easy issues of inflation and immigration, against a candidate who was in an a no-win situation. Put your energy in the now and tomorrow.

As written by Kris Kristopherson, Bobby is a woman. I believe story was named after someone who worked at the recording studio.

Putting aside the waste of money, the juxtaposition of Trump’s parade to the nationwide protests has been impactful.

Imagine being the most powerful person on earth and yet still have the abject lack of self confidence requiring constant validation.

Bluesky needs to add some better ways to fact check. This is becoming Blue-Twitter quickly and that’s no less dangerous than MAGA world.

Just turned on Fox News to check on the β€œparade” and watching an Army commercial that features a diverse slate of soldiers talking about their experiences. Seriously. Not sure how this got okayed.

Request for "seat fillers" at Trump's military parade comes under scrutiny A Craigslist ad which appears to be fake called for seat fillers at the parade for "maximum perception control".

Appears to be a fake. Let’s do better Bluesky.
