I am starting a list of Aptronyms that might pop up if one were to write a book about the Trump era, that future generations might think were too on the nose to be real. (I had such a thread on the other site back in the day.) www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/a...

I want to ban anyone who isn't white, Christian, & politically obedient. We will label entire cultures as criminal so we can strip their rights. This nation belongs only to us.

To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

We have a fascist regime attempting to take total control and their disrespect of the military and scapegoating of its leaders is far, far from an insignificant thing.
There is much to be decided in the near future, but these things are not small.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Evaluating nominees is explicitly his job as a Senator. What "others" can give advice and consent of the senate?
Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

Jesse Watters went on a crazed rant where he blamed boomers for 'destroying the American dream' harm younger generations. I'm not sure how boomers caused the COVID-19 pandemic or anything else he mentioned. Most of the Fox News audience is boomer aged or older.

Tomorrow from Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias: the Democratic Party will never win elections again unless it stops listening to its far-left extremists like Bill Kristol
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
