Stupid people deserve representation but Tuberville is representing people who likely can’t vote.

Then how do state prosecutors bring charges against masked ICE officers murdering citizens? Makes no sense, Tillis.

Exactly. Sophie’s Choice of Germany’s genocide is the perfect comparison.

Far right groups NEED bald faces lies and hate speech (they’re eating our pets) to get support.

Opinion | What’s Most Frightening About Trump’s Gaza Ravings (Gift Article) There is a case to make for fresh thinking about Gaza. But Trump’s plan is not fresh thinking, it’s fresh riffing.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/o...

I can say with confidence that Trump’s proposal is the single most idiotic and dangerous Middle East β€œpeace” initiative ever put out by an American president.

Arab leaders, he said, β€œknow how to placate Trump β€” and then work with the serious people on his team who have the job of making sense of his nonsense.”

In Breaking USAID, the Trump Administration May Have Broken the Law ProPublica’s reporting provides new details about what legal risk officials were prepared to take and what laws they may have violated on their way to creating a β€œconstitutional crisis.”

ProPublica article on how Trump and Elon’s actions are probably illegal and unconstitutional.

A total idiot in the same class as Tommy Tuberville.

Part of what we are seeing here is
a) Trump/DOGE officials claiming authority they do not have, trying to break the law
b) career officials pushing back
c) career officials punished: put on leave and likely fired when Schedule F returns.
