Only a senile old mafia boss would remain convinced Dems rigged 2020, but only for the presidency, or that Dems rigged 2020 but not 2024. Only delusional voters would believe him. We have so much delusion.

“This is moral injury that we’re living through. They still have an active federal investigation into the wife of Renee Good. And that is demented shit right there.”

IMHO, this piece has a sensational headline but makes a very sensible recommendation: campus access should be restricted to university affiliates for the time being

Harvard Must Keep ICE off Campus | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson
The University must walk a careful line between concrete steps to protect our community and putting a target on our back. The stakes are too high for inaction and too urgent for indecision.

Lee Gelernt: We’re seeing the pushback of people saying, “There’s immigration enforcement—we want some of that—but we thought you were going to go after the worst of the worst. That’s obviously not what’s happening, and essentially this is like a police state now.”

Another reason to move to Illinois!
Illinois is taking a step forward for health care access and reproductive rights with the launch of the Prairie State Access Fund — an example of true public and private sector partnership.

We're sending a clear message: Illinois trusts women to make their own medical decisions.

Powell is holding the line and stopping American economic collapse.

It's why Trump wants him out and one of his lapdogs in.

All the good economists at the Fed would be fired, they would forcibly cut interest rates, and inflation would soar.

I wonder if people with the last name of "Kelly" were ever seen as undesirable blights on American greatness? I guess we'll never know.
Far-right broadcaster Jesse Kelly fumes that "the country has been flooded with millions of foreign barbarians" who are being protected by "communist animals": "Mash every single one of them into a fine powder and save the United States of America."

I wrote about embracing impeachment 2 weeks ago, reacting to the ICE killing of Renee Good. Many thanks to @editorialboard.bsky.social for the chance to discuss my change of heart and Dems' growing openness to impeachment—at least for Kristi Noem. Next, RFK Jr? www.editorialboard.com/moderate-dem...
Moderate Democrats worry about overreacting. The real danger is underreacting
The killing of Renee Good was the breaking point, says Jill Lawrence.

Since there's 50-60 ☠️'s here daily arguing over less than 1% due to immigrants will not make a difference in those #s. The #1 reason behind that high rate will be financial instability. If we want to bring down the rate of crime here all we have to do is stop making survival a competitive sport.

WATCH: “When there’s a tax cut for corporations you’re supportive, why are you ‘ADAMANTLY AGAINST’ repealing the grocery tax?”🤔

Senator Jack Johnson actually talked to us! 😮 🎉— on why he opposes a push from fellow Republican William Lamberth. (Dems also tried to do it. TN’s tax code is regressive.)
