Representing the American people in the Senate is an honor.

Anyone who was convicted of massive fraud against the United States government should be removed from that office.

There have been men like Donald Trump for thousands of years, and the men who wrote the constitution were doing their best to stop him.

Things like this happening got the king of England's head chopped off in 1649, and when the US constitution was written a century later they had Charles I very much in mind.

Ava Cordero was 16 when Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her.

When she came forward in 2007, the New York Post outed her, mocked her identity, and called her a liar.

If she had been believed, over a thousand victims might have been spared.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

one thing I'd really like to attempt this year is divesting from Google entirely. It'd be a chore for sure, but man there's just nothing redeemable about this company anymore

The only reason you go to the mattresses to keep the masks on is because you know people are gonna find pardoned J6ers and guys on those sex offender lists who couldn't get jobs elsewhere amongst the ranks
Rep. Kennedy: Will you commit to immediately unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges?

ICE Chief Lyons: No.

Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

The first year of a presidential term is still the previous president's economy — at least that's what I've always heard.

We are at the start of the Trump economy.

We can expect "so much winning", right?

Members of the Buddhist Walk for Peace, leaving the National United Methodist Church, beginning their walk to the National Cathedral this afternoon.

DC Metro police—with name tags, badges, masks only as needed for the cold—accompanied the procession on a fleet of bicycles.

Give me a case of ivermectin and I can kill cancer cells with them, too. So long as I have a high enough roof to drop the case off of.

A friend of mine had a chance to tell off Sarah Palin one time, and what she said to Palin fits Vance perfectly: "You call yourself a leader? You're not a leader; you're a climber."

Thinking back to the ivermectin delusion days, I wonder if anyone written a take about how hiding their faces behind masks proves that ICE agents are *brave* — because a few years ago a lot of these same people were terrified that having a scrap of cloth on their faces would asphyxiate them.

A lot of "Dudes Rock" movies are also "Dudes Suck" movies, I'd say. Like "The Thing." That's definitely both in one.
OK, we're all familiar with the concept of "Dudes Rock" movies

I would like to propose a counterpart: "Dudes Suck" movies

Great films with nearly no women in them — but which are ultimately about how certain kinds of Dudes, when left to their own devices, really Suck

(e.g. below)
If you don't know about the Wannsee Conference and its horrifying consequences, I have an amazing, star-studded movie for you that will lay it all out:

The ivermectin stuff is *so stupid*. It’s a garden variety veterinary parasiticide that’s been in use about half a century in numerous species.

I guarantee if it had magical anti cancer properties *in any species at all* we would have noticed by now!
A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.

Not that those aren't valid terms to describe him, just that you may need to use Vance's own definitions for the description to fit.
