when people list complaints about allowing small three family houses in currently single family neighborhoods, I always think of Boston's three-deckers (pictured here)! They were opposed for mostly the same reasons more than 100 years ago.

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness.

The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires.

So they go for the media-bait illusions of power.

Like this.

Profoundly weak flex.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

remember this?

Van Hollen, Democrats in Iowa call for end to political violence after Kirk's killing - Maryland Matters Sen.

@vanhollen.senate.gov said he was advised not to pursue the issue, as immigration is not a winning topic for Democrats.

Instead of standing up to a repressive administration, the Democratic establishment worries about what they perceive as "winning topics"

“It is not the job of law enforcement or government agencies to police thought,” he added. “It is the job of law enforcement to prevent acts of violence and criminal activity.”

Trump/Vance/Stephen Miller are busy spreading blatant lies and glossing over violence committed by the far-right.

They're establishing a justification to unleash the government against anyone who opposes MAGA.

All of this must be understood against the backdrop of Trump’s declining popularity.

“Soybean farmers will experience huge losses this year… farm economy is already struggling… We don't need barriers that make us uncompetitive… tariffs have a huge impact on equipment so this hits us on all sides…”

Hey @govbilllee care to comment?

Four decades after the Reagan-era push to defund public education, we’re right where experts warned we’d be: 20th globally, far from first. America is the greatest lost opportunity.

Gotta Agree with Mr. Newsom......

Reality is more difficult. - Maryland Matters President Donald Trump’s aim to close the Education Department faces steep hurdles in Congress, where Republican legislative efforts to abolish the agency have stalled and appropriators have rejected ...

President Donald Trump’s aim to close the Education Department faces steep hurdles in Congress, where Republican legislative efforts to abolish the agency have stalled and appropriators have rejected many of his proposed education spending cuts.

The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race Indiscriminate immigration raids will expand across the country with the implicit blessing of the conservative supermajority.

Sotomayor: “We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”

But we do. Because the Supreme Court traded the Fourth Amendment for the MAGA Constitution.

Two bowls with white dough next to a big blob of dough on wax paper.

Pizza dough and play dough.
When you need to pay attention in the kitchen!

Big Oil donates to his campaign...Trump hands out tax breaks and guts clean energy funding.

Fraudsters donate to his Super PAC...Trump hands out pardons.

Airlines donate to his inaugural fund...Trump cancels a rule requiring them to refund passengers.

Everything is for sale.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Blowing up a boat that allegedly had drugs in it and killing alleged gang members in international waters without any due process is pretty clearly not legal.

A lawless regime.

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list.

He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

once again, the White House is "looking for ways to avoid" Congress doing the things it's supposed to do.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
