May I just say that I am proud of the Indiana Senate? We may not agree on everything, but they did the right, ethical and honorable thing, which is all I've ever asked of an elected official. #Indiana Senate.

Our heroes serve with honor and show up every single day to do the mission—despite the risks.
And so we better make damn well sure that the mission is the right one. That it is clear and effective. And that it serves our national security.
Not one man’s political agenda.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
All thanks to Republican inaction.

So seriously, there must be a number of people who had the opportunity to copy the Epstein files and actually did it. Now if that person was me, I'd be debating on whether I could make a lot of money illegally by blackmailing people, or make a lot of money legally by just selling to media.

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire.
Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money.
The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.
Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?
It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?
TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

there is this idea that we've accepted in modern liberalism that we have to accept all viewpoints and give them their permitted space to compete, and that nothing is truly evil, nothing can demand genuine punishment.
we are learning this is quite wrong.

Why does it seem as though every time a MAGA case goes to court, the federal district judges deny them for well-researched and logical reasons, then it goes to SCOTUS and with no logic, reason or precedent, the verdict is overturned. Either the Feds or SCOTUS is consistently wrong - any guesses???

Either we find a more accountable way of issuing pardons, or we eliminate them altogether. This is making a mockery of our judicial system.

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
