He's going to take money from my importation business (in the form of tariffs) and give it to other Americans who don't import goods.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is just wealth redistribution Republicans claim to despise. *At the expense of small businesses.*

Trump: "We'll probably make a distribution out of some of the tariff money over the next fairly short period of time to people."

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

HOLD UP. Trump now says he’s demanding payment from the US taxpayers over the ‘Big Lie’ about the 2020 election? It was bad enough when the Times reported he was seeking payment over the federal probe into his handling of classified docs but now this too? This is batsh*t crazy.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Guided missile warheads? For "illegal immigration". Which is a misdemeanor.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 18h

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

He's going to just steal $230 million from you and me, and his flunkies in the DOJ are going to happily hand it over

From Reddit..

Drawing of a fan seeing the Mariners be good as a child, as an adult, and then when they have passed behind this realm as their body decays due to the years that have tolled this frail earthly human body.

The Mariners were 8 outs away from the pennant and Dan never once thought to get Andres Munoz warm with a lead. And then he brings him in AFTER they give up the lead. Idiotic and indefensible.

Coming on here for the first time in months to say what Dan Wilson did to the Mariners last night in Game 7 should make him fireable, but they won’t. It’s bad enough when the majority of your hitters aren’t executing, but the manager shoulders half the blame for his abysmal bullpen management.

24 years since the last ALCS run. I was a freshman in college at the time.

If it takes another 24 years for the Mariners to get back to the ALCS, I will be old enough to retire.

The Red Sox moved on from Grady Little after the disaster of the 2003 ALCS.

Do the Mariners have the stones to do the same with Dan Wilson?

Light Bat is up. I'm mad, sorry. Every single Mariners team that has had a chance at greatness has been held back by Dan Wilson, and I'm over it. Find someone better please. thelightbat.substack.com/p/102125-che...

their entire stated goal for my entire 42+ years on this earth has been the destruction of the federal government. they are literally doing what they have always dreamed of doing.

I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.
