It's real dummy behavior BUT Raskin *did* endorse Mamdani and has been one of the least bad congressional Democrats in Trump 2.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera played crucial roles in the Stonewall uprising. This is insulting on several levels.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

I went through airport security in Salt Lake City on Monday wearing my Commanders hat. I had at least 4 airport staff give me some version of a “Helluva game!” greeting. One TSA dude shouted at me from *another* security line “Super Bowl!! Going to the Super Bowl!!”
