Lawrence O'Donnell: President Obama talked about the value of younger candidates who know who they are. Is that the way you see yourself?
James Talarico: My granddad told me our job is to love God and love neighbor. I am trying to love my neighbor through public policy.

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Is he saying that violent criminals are ALSO working in low-wage jobs that now Americans can fill? That's kind of...nuts.
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

Stephen Colbert, with grace and humor, is making his network overlords look like the most pathetic cowards imaginable, and that’s what they are. The last two nights have been a masterclass in courage and precise examples of how everyone should deal with this stupid administration.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:
"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."
He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

They want to replace the manual labor jobs of the immigrants that they disappeared with our children.
It’s been their plan all along.
My dad picked cotton as a child from the time he could walk and hold a cotton sack so that I wouldn’t have to.
We are not going back.

The only POTUS worse than 45 is now, officially, 47.
The polling is THAT bad now.
That's why they want to rig the elections. They know it's gonna be a bloodbath on top of a massacre on top of a political genocide.
They're scared. We need to keep the pressure I n them & apply it even harder.

Nothing against Nancy Guthrie here. If they spent half the time they are spending looking for her abductor on the Epstein files, criminals, they would be in jail already.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?
