One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

Borders arbitrary when taking over a country but real when dealing with immigration.

Got it.

If we can bend the rule of law, then what happens next?

This should not be celebrated. It should be seen as a warning of what's to come.

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"Masculine Energy"

If you've watched Hegseths Senate hearings, it's obvious he is shallow, inarguably unqualified, and completely subservient to Trump and will do whatever Trump tells him to do whether lawful or not. Thanks in particular to Senator Hirono for establishing just how craven and dishonest Hegseth is.

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

Disinformation is taking away energy from fighting fires but keep talking about DEI

Attacking DEI is like attacking having HR. It doesn't detract from the work...

When there are school shootings, Republicans say, “Now’s not the time to talk about gun safety—lives were just lost.”

When blue states face disasters, including thousands of people losing homes to devastating fires, Trump wastes no time slamming them, driven purely by spite!

Must watch…

I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.

What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.

This strikes me as a bit like mcCarthyism…..

Want a Job in the Trump Administration? Be Prepared for the Loyalty Test. Applicants for government posts, including inside the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, say they have been asked about their thoughts on Jan. 6 and who they believe won the 2020 election.

Applicants for government jobs, including inside the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, say they have been asked in interviews about their thoughts on Jan. 6 and who they believe won the 2020 election — questions that seemed designed to assess their loyalty to President-elect Trump.

Oh national security you say? Interesting...

Are these the bad immigrants they were talking about

Such a cissy.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

The image is a tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) that reads: “This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.” Below her tweet is a quote tweet of CNBC (@CNBC), which states: “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair [link].” The CNBC tweet is timestamped 14 hours ago from the time of the screenshot.

Buttigieg Warns Trump-Panicked Democrats, ‘We Cannot Be Mesmerized’ The transportation secretary, one of several ambitious Democrats jockeying for prominence, gave advice in a speech but was coy about his own plans: “I know that I will make myself useful again later.”

Pete Buttigieg told Democrats to not allow themselves to be so outraged by the Trump administration that they would neglect working for their constituents. “We cannot be mesmerized by the worst things that we see happening,” Buttigieg said.
