Guess we need to throw everybody who gets a speeding ticket directly in jail and ship them off to a foreign country 🤷‍♂️

There is a process for seeking asylum. The gotaways run from border guards and are acting illegally. They are also unvetted.
They think they are better than everyone else and can cut the line. They illegally entered the country and are in fact criminals. Get it?

CNBC: How do you make premiums more sustainable?

DR OZ: That's why the president asked me 3 times if I really wanted the job. Commercial health insurance rates, which I don't regulate, are going up almost 10% this year as well. So it's not just Medicare.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to all the casualties, orphans, and people left homeless in war ravaged Portland as you dig yourselves out of the rubble and wreckage of what remains of your once beautiful city. You will never be forgotten.

Marge says that Republicans can end the shutdown anytime they want without Democratic votes.

"Fiscal sanity" like decking the Oval Office out in fake gold Home Depot trinkets or building a gigantic, pointless ballroom?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

Q: Even when the govt was shut down for 35 days in Trump's first term, you've never had to layoff thousands of workers. So why are layoffs now necessary?

LEAVITT: Because we have an administration and president who are wholeheartedly focused on restoring fiscal sanity

I do not understand cocky Mariner fan right now! I wanted them to face Detroit but 39 years of Mariner fandom has trained me to always be nervous as fuck about their chances to win playoff games!

BERMAN: Congress passed funding. The WH now says it's not going to spend it. The two Dem leaders dealing with this shutdown are from New York. Is this right?

GIMENEZ: Ah -- even when we pass projects, the administration still has to look

B: You seem to be working through this as we're talking

Ryan Whitledge @thewhittyryan.bsky.social · 8d

In all fairness, the first thing I normally do when something is broken and stops working is turn it off and turn it back on again 🤷

Trump's politics are easily understood by realizing he is always attempting to speak everything he wants into existence

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · 9d

We keep seeing Trump or admin sources say they have a deal and the school saying "no we don't," like they're trying to manifest it into existence.

I shall buy this burrito for 14 dollars and transfer that debt to the burrito. As I have consumed the burrito and it doesn't exist anymore as a legal entity I don't owe anyone shit.

It's clear enough.

They can easily imagine themselves as Kirk, so it hits home for them in a way a school shooting, which won't ever touch them personally, doesn't.

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 11d

That's what it looks like when any human being gets shot, though.

If it's okay with Republicans when the victims are 6-year-olds, not clear why that level of violence is haunting when it's a grown man.

Kershaw is retiring so I think it's only fair that he lob Cal a few freebies so he can get to 63 home runs

Ryan Whitledge @thewhittyryan.bsky.social · 11d

The most broken thing about our society is that because Trump does and says things so publicly, it doesn't matter if what he says is wrong, illegal, or will never happen. See the "no tax on Social Security" thing and compare it to Biden's "student loan forgiveness." What did the public think?

Barb McQuade @barbmcquade.bsky.social · 12d

As with his demands of Zelensky regarding Biden and DOJ with election fraud, it seems Trump just wants an announcement of alleged wrongdoing by Comey so that he can be portrayed as corrupt. Weakness of charges are irrelevant. When Comey is acquitted, Trump will blame the judge.
