Republican voter is getting crushed under the boot heel of Republican policy. That's how it works. This is not a new thing.

Fun fact: Her children are already born, which means Mike Johnson and the GOP no longer give a shit about them.

I am tracking this incident on the ICE Abuse Tracking Index. We needed a centralized location for all of these incidents, so I made one.

I grew up in NYC during the Koch and Dinkins eras. Zohran is the kind of mayor the city both needs and deserves.

Comparing our current situation to the Nixon administration doesn't really equate. In our current predicament, all three branches of government are compromised and the Executive is operating lawlessly in the open and with impunity. Trump is also too self-involved to notice or care about protests.

My inner demon is stronger than your ability to tweet pictures. His name is Chuck. He has huge evil horns, his flesh is fire, and he likes apple fritters and scrambled eggs. In the name of the demon Chuck I command thee to get over thyself.

Some points to keep in mind: You have no power over anyone else. Demons aren't real. Nobody is interested in your fairy tale. Your interjection is meaningless.

It should go without saying, but ASSUME ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT DHS SAYS IS A LIE. THEY ARE NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

The last time I yelled at my television, it was in a moment of pure joy when I realized the crew was pulling the Enterprise D out of mothballs to defeat the Borg.

These days it's a lot more yelling and a lot more despair.

Last month Marrazzo said she had been silenced when she and her colleagues pushed back against NIH officials who questioned the importance of childhood flu vaccines and canceled long-running clinical trials.

A White House spokesperson came out today and contradicted that, clarifying it's $17T in promised investments. The money doesn't exist. Trump, as always, is full of shit.
