It's appropriate that the Queen's birthday is on No King's Day 😁
But the only reason it appears 50-50 is because of the 2-party stranglehold. More than half of registered voters across the nation are 3rd party or unaffiliated. Start listening to those voices, break the 2-party hold, and just about every race WILL be competitive.
That fear is meaningless until they grow spines.
I'm constantly reminded of that old query lately....

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", what's the opposite of "progress"?
I would rather my tax dollars pay for every undocumented person's medical services than Trump's golf outings, the disgustingly gaudy gold plated crap he put in the WH, retrofitting a plane that will later be gifted to him, bailing out Argentina & Israel, or paying Lying Leavitt's salary.
If he's that paranoid then he shouldn't be in government. He should be at home holed up in a bunker.
A few months ago I flew for the first time in several years. Got to security, showed by ID & pass. TSA told me "stand there, look here" and before I even realized it was a camera he'd taken the picture. Glad to know I can opt out in the future, but they aren't warning people at all.

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!
I honestly hate this holiday. Always have. This isn't due to politics. Just the abject asshattery of my neighbors.
Worth pointing out that Republicans had no opposition to nationwide injunctions being issued by district courts against Obama or Biden actions.
Honestly, I bet Uvalde was heavily on their minds when passing the bill. They don't want kids scared out of their minds & getting gunned down to have the ability to communicate. Because they don't want the public seeing/hearing it for fear of stricter gun laws.
The delay is simple. He's thumbing his nose at Congress because he believes he is above the law. And every single time he's allowed to break the rules without consequence, the more it emboldened him.

Of course they are. They're very busy writing strongly worded letters and social media posts.
I doubt the decision to deny ICE entry had anything to do with a political or moral stance. ICE's presence would hurt business & risk confrontation.

Dodgers didn't want to hurt their bottom line.
James, you have absolutely nothing to contribute to any discussion involving common sense. Crawl your MAGAt ass back into the rotting cheeto corpse.
Republicans never seek solutions. They want the problems to continue so they have something to campaign on.

Though, honestly, same can be said for most Democrats. Especially the "old guard."
And sadly, it just goes to show how authoritarian we have always been.

The event was sparked by a kid throwing mud. A soldier responded by using the butt of his rifle to break the kid's face. Onlookers were outraged so the soldiers called for back, then started shooting.

Same spin we see today.
I'm sure the cops will spin it that she "wasn't following commands", "advanced on police lines", and that they mistook her microphone for a gun.
"To quote this very well-researched book, in 1999 George Bush signed an EO..."

Um, lady, George Bush wasn't in office in 1999. He didn't take office until Jan 2001. So that book you're quoting isn't even moderately researched.
No, I didn't know that. But #GaelicStorm taught me that donkeys drink whiskey.
Meant Feinstein, not Boxer...it's been a long week lol.
