Good God and the serene, impenetrable smugness of those bigots.

That's the stuff of nightmares. Those people sounded like they could join the right kind of lynch mob and sleep soundly after.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

It highlights a "deeply troubling national trend: the normalization of the #NotwithstandingClause to avoid accountability."

"This clause was never intended to be used routinely or pre-emptively. It was designed as an extraordinary measure, deployed only in the rarest of circumstances."

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

We're in the midst of a shutdown HE created that’s hurting military families, federal workers, & everyone in America.

This isn’t over. We'll see him in court.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
