Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

It's an iron-clad guarantee that 99.5% of all the applicants don't understand the difference between there, their, and they're - nevermind the Constitution.

People should absolutely be writing about how ICE's occupation of their cities is transforming life in these places, and they should be publishing it in print on paper - not just social media posts. There needs to be a record of this. Things are changing in measurable ways for the worse every day.

You cannot have a ‘university’ that isn’t wide-ranging and generalist. The whole point of a university is exactly that.

In what constitutional universe is "the President is telling the Justice Department to pay him $230 million" not an abuse of power?

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Quinn Haberl believes his disability and diminutive stature are precisely why federal agents descended upon him outside the ICE facility in Portland last weekend.

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Just a suggestion that folks refrain from ableism and ageism when discussing Mitch McConnell.

Being old and falling down doesn't make him a trash person, but all the actual trash things he has done and facilitated definitely do.
