It's wild that SCOTUS is asking for, and Trump admin is denying, a body evidence of the harms of conversion therapy when the evidence is literally scarred, broken, and dead bodies.

Who is Chuck Schumer for at this point? Who is out there feeling hope or energy or anything but embarrassment/cringe every time he is doing anything?

If your unity is based on enemies, and you are an isolationist, it should not be surprising that you have to turn citizens/friends into enemies to maintain your unity.

So what you're saying is the Tylenol killer was trying to warn us.....

Here's the state of play:
Colleges having race/ethnicity as one part of college admission/scholarship process: woke and the worst kind of prejudice imaginable
ICE/Cops using race/ethnicity as the sole consideration in stopping and possibly detaining somebody: allowable, if not perfectly reasonable

Nothing says president of peace like renaming Department of Defense to Department of War

Right/Left
Liberal/Conservative
Republican/Democrat
I'm not sure those terms of yesteryear still work. What terms should we be using?

The most frustrating thing I have with the Trump admin right now is how long it's going to take for people to feel the effects. By the time the effects are felt, people will forget who did it.

"I saved money this year by not doing any needed maintenance on my car or house and got a one-time gift from my grandfather. I'm so good with money." The logic of Maryland Hogan-stans

The rich man receives judgment simply for ignoring Lazarus. Imagine what happens if he had vilified or arrested or harmed Lazarus

Being jealous of how Putin deals with his people should be absolutely alarming, but it's just par for the course.

So DC is basically Mad Max. Interesting.

The flag should not stay lowered when Jimmy Carter died, but it absolutely should be lowered for Hulk Hogan.

I'll preface that 1) I know revisions always happen 2) I don't have the memory of typical revisions. How can a jobs report overstate total new jobs by between 80 and 90%?! How can we even trust the already low numbers reported for July?

⬛️In not releasing Epstein files, Biden showed corruption and shouldn't be trusted
🔵In releasing a report that was substantially no different to prior administration, Trump should be trusted
4/4

⬛️In what we know Trump did around 2020 election, he has/might have immunity
🔵With yet unreleased evidence of Obama and Steele Dossier, he does not have immunity
(3/4)

⬛️DOJ did hours of work to review the Epstein case
🔵They didn't talk to Maxwell until this week
(2/4)

A couple square pegs and round holes I need some help with
⬛️ If Trump was mentioned at all in Epstein files, Biden would have released it
🔵Trump had all the Obama stuff from 2016-2020 and didn't do anything with it
(1/4)

For a administration that is about transparency, there is no way Maxwell can talk only to DOJ behind closed doors. Even if that conversation is 100% honest and free of corruption, the optics will only make it worse.

It honestly feels like the news ethos waits until Wednesday afternoon to do the biggest news drops just to fuck with @thebulwark.com TNL episodes

Wait... does Obama not have the same immunity SCOTUS ruled the president has?

Is "X fascist didn't do real fascism" the far right's version of "X failed country didn't really do real communism"

It seems that Dems have two options:
1) Do nothing and let GOP do whatever they want
2) Fight back, and GOP digs heels and still does whatever they want just to own the libs
Real healthy politics we've got.

Don't forget: the fiscal cliff/impending tax increase MAGA is claiming to be saving us from is one that they created. Don't let them get away with it.

It's almost like electing trolls and incentivizing normal politicians to become trolls isn't a recipe for success

If you saw me repeatedly push on a pull door at a place I go to almost daily, no you didn't

You know, all this Iran stuff would have never happened under the 45th president....

Pink Pony Club at a largely MAGA wedding is wild

He ain't wrong.....

I know that they undoubtedly got inundated with comments, but getting an email IN LATE JUNE in response to me comments on the Hegseth nomination is almost insulting. Just don't send one at that point.
