This administration raises an interesting issue: how should Congress write laws going forward in order to ensure there are meaningful enforcement mechanisms when an Executive is not deterred by the mere fact that a particular action is illegal?

Every new Trump Epstein revelation is somehow both shocking and not a surprise at all.

I mean there's not much point in bribing Guard Volunteers, is there?
Which, incidentally, underscores how cheaply bought the Administration thinks America's enlisted are. Overlook the gimmicky dollar amount: they think they can repair Trump's reputation in the Armed Forces for under $2k a head.

So the National Guard doesn’t get the little $1776 bonus, just Regular forces
Not a great look, since that part of the military is currently bearing the brunt of the administration’s domestic deployments and has 3 dead in the last 3 weeks (DC and Syria)

My take on Trump's address tonight is that he's always won in the past by staying on the attack and refusing to apologise. He didn't defend himself: he proclaimed reality, ignored all arguments to the contrary, and went back to throwing punches.
This felt defensive, weak. And maybe a little scared.

rewriting a more realistic script for The Lord of the Rings. Frodo just stays home and we watch thirteen hours of him cooking meals and reading books. every hour or so he glances at a newspaper and goes, "Oh shit what's happening in Rohan? That's fucked." Then he goes to the pub to drink with Sam.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Just out of curiosity, do I have a large gap in my historical knowledge about oil, land, and assets that Venezuela took from the United States? Sometimes my mind wanders in class so it is totally possible
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
