MAGA Republicans labeling anti fascism as terrorism wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card because I threw that motherfucker out.

You know that Hamas are genocidal terrorists, right?
They've been attacking civilians (both Israeli and their own) almost non-stop for decades... sending unguided missiles into civilian areas regularly... it's weird how you're not using THAT as an excuse to attack Palestine and all Muslims. Huh.

I think you're gullible and engaging in confirmation bias.

John Thune is nervous. He just spread a bunch of lies on @pbsnewshour but I noticed one thing in particular: He reassured the audience that the underlying structure of ACA would be intact. He's lying. But I don't think I've heard a Republican make a promise about ACA like that before. Have you?

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

This happens when schools stop teaching civics. I see posts all the time that are either uninformed wishful thinking or demanding something be done by Dem's that can ONLY be done by the magat majority. They have no f•ckin clue how shit works, but they still screech. Elections have consequences.

Not to mention…Bernie is 7 years older than Mills and has already filed to run for another 6-year term in 2030.

Learn how shit works.

The 25th Amendment is invoked by the cabinet. TRUMP'S cabinet. You think that's going to happen? You think ANY Democrat has any control over any of that?

Stop fucking demanding Democrats do things they can't, and then blaming them for not doing it. JFC, get a damn clue.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
