Ok thanks that makes sense. It does seem like if you wanted to motivate Trump, some vanity deadline would be a strong approach

Wait - did he encourage a peace deal because he was trying to beat the Nobel decision deadline?

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Benny Johnson just posted an AI video where he is beating up migrants outside a Walmart.

In 2019, a gunman shot 45 people inside a Walmart in El Paso TX, leaving behind a manifesto full of anti-immigrant and white nationalist ramblings.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

We don’t want a video where Tu Pac is hanging out with Michael Jackson and Fidel Castro.

We want to afford our groceries.

Can’t the estates of these people sue somebody

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator
