It's comically unconstitutional.

However, it's probably moot as we will never see a test case. Because anyone leaving NY for Texas is obviously psychotic and therefore won't be able to file suit.
YES.

Trump's state capitalism framework to his refusal to approve mergers unless political concessions are made (!) to men with masks on the streets rounding up people with no warrants.

It's RADICAL RADICAL. Yet because he's rich old rapey white guy, it's not? Huh?

The Danger of Trump Seizing Private Companies
The Trump Administration's stake in companies like Intel threatens America’s capitalist system.

He is probably responsible for the GOP being so vulnerable to Trump's takeover. His disaster in Iraq delegitimized the "grownup" wing of the party.

Newt Gingrich, who kneecapped Congress for short-term partisan gain, is the only person more responsible for the power vacuum Trump slid into.

Directly defying a court order so that he can withhold food from the poor
Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.
Literally nobody would flinch if the guy had majored in "European history."

Africa is HUGE.

People with many different areas of expertise are good to have in government!

Gross how this is suddenly a debatable proposition when the area of expertise is a continent of 1.53 Billion people!.
We saw the pasta recall and my 10-year-old said to me "oh, that's why 'prepared pasta meals' is trending." LOL WUT?

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
He can unstoppably knock down half the White House and send troops to Chicago on a whim, but sorry, he can't feed hungry people despite every President before him doing it, because the wily Democrats have... somehow...blocked him.

Bffr.

If he wanted to, he would.
I'm shocked by how Cuomo always seems alone.

He's always hated retail. But it's much more than that.

In everything from his ads to his appearances, he is just...an island.

It's incredibly weird.
Sadly, Hakeem is making Hakeem irrelevant.

I hate it because it's not like he's leaving the job anytime soon. I'd like him to stop being such a loser, because our democracy kiiiiiiinda hangs in the balance.
Cool, the President of the United States hopes people get gunned down in Chicago suburbs.

Do people really think this is what freedom looks like?
Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

The president thinks federal goons haven’t been violent *enough* with the American people.

The president seems to hope that his thugs will kill someone soon.

That guy was a nut, but he was really great.
I have to think a non-trivial chunk of the green are people like me who agree: "yep, they are as horrifying, evil, chaotic and incompetent as I thought they would be."

More Insta snaps from the let them eat cake ball at Mar a Lago
That's AWFUL. Our neighborhood is AWASH in trick or treaters, there's a parade, whole blocks are shut down. We went through 20 lbs of candy in less than 40 minutes.

Maybe organize a parade? That will get people to show up!

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
THEY AREN'T PROTESTS.

They aren't organized. They don't have a message. Nobody brought them there.

Yes, some are protests where people are peaceably assembling to demand a redress of grievances and being attacked.

A lot? They are literally neighbors and residents REACTING to what they see!
One such person was Panama-born John McCain.

It's not like this is rare, or we have to stretch for examples.

The literal 2008 GOP Presidential nominee was born IN PANAMA, and this was not an issue.

It's actually a normal, typical thing and no extraordinary evidence should be required.
I think the Christianity of the Civil Rights movement is often overlooked - this religion is AMAZING at building narratives and telling stories.

The mobilization actions of Civil Rights always served the narrative.

People running the Dems keep focusing on tactics, not enough on narrative.
Stefanik, the one who endorsed that fat Nazi?

The "young" Nazi who's in his mid thirties?

I'm sure she'll try to pivot away from MAGA once the old man is gone. But she's debased herself so thoroughly and publicly.

I don't see how the base gets excited about someone so wormy.
you guys, tear gassing a children's Halloween party may seem excessive, but have you SEEN what bad drivers these immigrants are?
