The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Thoughts and prayers have been proven ineffective.
Prayer, despite what organized religious leaders claim, is meaningless. It may bring a modicum of personal solace, but laws must change to save the lives of children and innocent people slaughtered because of gun violence.
“God” isn’t listening.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.
It is the GUNS.

This cartoon aired only once during the original live broadcast on April 4, 1998, and was later cut from reruns and most official online versions due to legal concerns or simply being a sensitive topic for a major media corporation like NBC, which is now part of Comcast.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

So I've been paying $1200 a month this year for an ACA plan.

This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026.

Platner's tattoo is one half of the story (albeit a pretty blatant one) but his being a Blackwater merc should've been setting off alarm bells too. Contract killer is a heck of a work history, even by US government standards.
Yeah the DNC sucks and I'm sick of centrists too but fun fact, a coordinated smear campaign about your Nazi tattoo and history with Blackwater "War Crimes Inc" only works if you have a Nazi tattoo and worked for War Crimes Inc

I believe the people going “we have to overlook Platner’s Nazi tattoo because he’s still better than Mills” need to think real long and hard about what happened with people like Fetterman and Sinema.
Hopefully it's a dodged bullet. How many of these ostensibly left-leaning politicians have we seen go full mask-off as soon as they're elected? Fetterman and Sinema, top of the list.
