BREAKING via Star-Tribune: GOP gubernatorial candidate ends bid, says he canโ€™t support "stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.โ€

UK's Reform party is making me think twice about using the word "reform", which is a shame. Reform should not mean 'vandalise your country's national interest while pretending to be patriotic'.

Thankyou Leah and I agree with you that it can. But if evil thugs keep slipping up on banana skins, you've got to admire their imbecility.

"A competent autocrat selects his enemies with skill. Trumpโ€™s Achilles Heel is that he gets worse at this with experience." Me on his administration's darkly comical and profoundly inept depiction of Pretti and Good as terrorists. Free to read. as.ft.com/r/60a0a558-2...

The hope was that public video would make law enforcement think twice, resting on the naive idea that we're dealing with generally law-abiding officers. ICE beats people up and kills in full knowledge they're being filmed. They have lethal impunity.

Feel that Maga's gargantuan 2nd amendment hypocrisy is being underplayed. Dems should defund ICE and call GOP's bluff by going for gun control.

Yes, Chamberlain is unfairly pigeon-holed. Reality was a lot more complex.
