Let's check in with AI: To experience humiliation, a person typically needs to possess self-awareness, a sense of social identity, and sensitivity to others' judgments. So, no, there will be no feelings of humiliation.

Everyone is afraid of Trump and his retaliatory potential.

And, surprisingly, it wasn’t the guy who was deported to Laos.

What "could be"? Are you missing the point that a ceasefire means no strikes?!!?

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987
YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

North Carolina State Senate Approves New Congressional Map in Effort to Add a Seat

Her statement seems a little bit worse than the deplorables statement that got so many R's up in arms. Just a little.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

All performative BS. Hall pass to Tillis because Murkowski voting for it.

Performative. Tillis’ nay vote was allowed by republican establishment because Murkowski and others were voting yes.

Proposing a simple rule for the Nobel committee. If a potential nominee bombs another country, they're out of consideration.

My Republican (non-MAGA friends who still are Republicans) friends are most worried about the national park sell-offs. Dems should focus on that.

Elon's dep. from the trump WH helps solidify Republican climate change position. An uneasy alliance at best, spotlighting Elon who headed Tesla. Now R's can revert to their regularly scheduled programs of climate change denialism; it's an opportunity for Ds to highlight their enviornmental message.

It's a total reenvisioning of the trade equation. (Narrator: it's not a good reenvisioning). It's going to take us back over 100 years.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?

KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
