Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

I understand the optics here but this is also literally why Charles met his end in Whitehall, either Article I means what it says or it doesn't and the Constitution is dissolved

So the Dems need to be clear again that any FMer carrying out direction to implement mil paychecks in the absence of appropriations will be subject to anti-deficiency act criminal penalties, because to be clear even with the reconciliation slush fund BS there is no way to legally so this, period

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Fucking amazing that even leftists in America use the "let me talk to the manager" voice.

Two observations:
1.) I am pretty sure I follow exactly 2 Mainers on this site, yet I see a large number of very strongly stated opinions about their Senate primary.
2.) What determines how loudly one is yelling about Mills or Platner is whether one's scars over Biden or Fetterman are more painful.

one thing that’s kinda interesting about the term “virtue signaling” is: it acknowledges the existence of virtue. not always a guarantee in our world!

"What is the Trump Administration hiding?" is the ultimate question. They're willing to shut down the government to prevent the Epstein files from being released. They were willing to deploy the National Guard to keep us from finding out what's going on in Broadview. What is the regime hiding?

We were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

I don't think these guys have thought about how calling a bunch of teachers and retired postal workers "terrorists" is going to work out for them.

It's funny, I feel like I just saw someone asking why the truth was important the other day. Shouldn't we take advantage and tell the best story for our side, that kinda thing.
