They accuse anyone besides white christians of not being real Americans but it's the MAGA folks whose patriotism is conditional.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

Re next week's vote on the SAVE Act, please rewatch this scene from The Breakfast Club. It's funny because no one gets a fake ID so they can vote. And - no matter what some racist, demagogic Republican tells you - voting is not why immigrants come to America. youtu.be/PbxZXmF6qtQ?...

The PRESIDENT.

Of these United States.

Has a personal vendetta.

Against a FIVE YEAR OLD.

In a BUNNY hat.

NPB, aside from its other issues, is the kind of traditional bipartisan event nobody should attend if he's going to be there. Don't show up and observe the norms as if he's a normal president. Symbolism matters, don't give it to him. Let him speak to a room full of only his own braying jackasses.

Today is National Girls & Women in Sports Day so let's learn all about the first 19th century women's base ball club I was able to find in the Puget Sound region: The Snohomish City Blue Jay Base Ball Club.

Under this GOP Measure, All of Missouri’s Recent Popular Initiatives Would Have Failed Lawmakers just advanced a constitutional amendment to drastically raise the bar for approving citizen ballot measures. Voters get to weigh in on the scheme next year.

A GOP-backed proposal in Missouri would require citizen-led ballot initiatives to win majorities in all eight congressional districts to pass. But amendments that lawmakers put on the ballot themselves wouldn't be subjected to the same high bar.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

The Mariners are indeed getting Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a three-team trade that will include third baseman Ben Williamson going to the Rays and pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje going from Seattle to St. Louis, according to a source.

Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

So, Don Lemon gets prosecuted for documenting a church protest (which, to my knowledge, is not a crime).

But Tom Homan did not get prosecuted for taking a $50,000 bribe.

Pam Bondi did not get prosecuted for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Maine volunteers form human wall to protect immigrant workers Immigrant workers at American Roots in Westbrook remain fearful of federal immigration enforcement, despite reports that ICE has scaled down its operations in Maine.

Yesterday, I visited three organizations that’ve been directly impacted by ICE’s terror campaign.

At American Roots, an apparel company that employs new Mainers, I was amazed to see so many people showing up to work—despite the ever-present threat of ICE.

Their bravery is so inspiring. (1/5)

When you see this you have to scratch your head and wonder how many lies are being told to the tip lines where the Trump Regime has created a system of neighbors who rat out people so ICE will come get them. Will the Karen near you turn you in to ICE?

They all just want to rule like lords and steal money from US
