People understand that fascist and/or authoritarian transitional regimes do not just give up power, right?
You need to be prepared to lose a 'close' election in 2026 because it is likely to be made to happen.
You really think they won't ask Alito/Thomas to retire to 'reset' the race?

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

Part of the reason moderate democrats are so intolerable is that they miss every-single opportunity—without fail—to be human. They ALWAYS say consultant shit instead of just focusing.

“Get a job you imbecilic morons” is a hell of a position for a government to take in the middle of a deep recession lmfao
This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Can’t hear you over that loud gawking under the health insurance exec’s desk you’re under
Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

Hmm. Now why would they want to do that? Surely not to hide evidence
The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.
