Admitting publicly that you only want this bill that is designed to disenfranchise voters is necessary to make sure your party wins is quite a choice. The GOP has done away with subtlety and euphemisms and is now all "we need to cheat because the polls say people don't like us."
The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.
We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.
“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.”
Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.
There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
The art of the deal, baby
A week after FIU college republicans were exposed for celebrating Himmler's concept of a "Nazi heaven," UF college republicans are disbanded for doing Hitler salutes.
He's dunking on the media for rolling over. Congratulations on bending over for an old pedophile. An idiot, too. Reminding me of the Jeffrey Epstein text chain saying Trump never respects anyone who folds on his demands. Good work
I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military
Don't worry, the Harper's letter people are *all over* this.
It’s all this country and its national teams knows. They can never be normal. Every other team comes to international competition to compete and make themselves and their fans happy. The USA teams are always like, we’re going to war to KILL our enemies and lay our bodies on the line for HONOR!
I think when he says “one of us”, he just means that Trump hates the same people he does. His man of the people identity is just tied to bullying and bigotry. That’s what they like.
The areas Israel are striking are deep into Beirut, they're civilian areas and extend far beyond any bombing campaign since the 2006 war. Large chunks of the south are on their way to occupation, this has reinvigorated Hezbollah and left nearly a million people displaced. Absolutely indefensible.
"We're being nice. Here are all these war crimes I want to do but haven't because I'm so nice. But I might still do them."
You can do that?
Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
This is the pentagon press corp now: hand picked propagandists
ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.
As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.
"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."
When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity
His one weird trick: Bribing corrupt public officials:

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.
Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.
Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.
