This won't work the way she hopes. The stories about how terrible and evil Democratic policies won't hold up against actual evidence. All Democrats need to achieve is mediocrity.
Just another day in Donald Trump's America.
The Feds deceived them by conducting a green card interview, subsequently arresting his wife, and mocking them while taking selfies.
That beer garden in Astoria is one of my favorite places in NYC.
Right? If they are going to do that, there should at least be a few punches involved.
Yep, we have these in Boston. Snow is only a problem for the amount of time that it's also a problem for cars.
Beautiful.
If you aren’t familiar with Nigerian playwright and poet Wole Soyinka… here’s a taster:

I love this!
Mar Awa III, patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, also born in Chicago, gave Pope Leo a Cubs jersey.
He is literally stealing the Whitehouse for one of his golf courses.
A... scoop? Multiple workers tell me that dirt from the demolition of the East Wing of the White House (to make way for Trump's new $200 million ballroom) is being trucked to the north end of the Hains Point golf course. It will then be used to create new terrain on the course.

469 is what the TBS crew said. For perspective, the longest ever hit at Dodger Stadium (by Willy Stargel) was 506. This went really far, but wasn't even Ohtani's longest shot (478).
Sit down, sunshine fan.
I admit to wondering about this guy from time to time. But really, he probably doesn't exist.
we never heard about this human again
Democrats ARE patriots, you fascist propaganda service.
It's too bad these same people successfully pushed to neuter humanities education. That might have produced some creative thinkers and future AI filmakers, but alas....
Citizens United placed our democracy on life support, but Trump v United States, which established presidential immunity, pulled the plug.
I've always liked him. Are you looking for my thoughts on the player, or on the man?
And absolutely on Aretha!
I actually came to like Dylan's original better after a few decades, but both versions are amazing.
This violates the Hatch Act, not to mention it's dishonest and incredibly unethical. Everything the federal regime does is a violation. Time to revoke our consent, as Thomas Jefferson would have it.
It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.

time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.
Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.
It's time to recognize that we no longer have a federal government in the United States.
NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
