It's pretty funny how there are, like, 200 guys who were the Main Bad Guy at some dark point in internet or recent American history, and somehow they are all employed by the administration or one of its goons. Like the Avengers of guys on the Epstein list.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

If you gave Chuck Schumer three wishes, he'd negotiate it down to one, then wish for something that maintained the status quo.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Republicans not understanding the nature of linear time would explain a lot tbh
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

A favorite passtime of MAGA is to comment on every KY Gov Andy Beshear post about the FORD electric battery plant that shifted to energy storage as if it had nothing to do with Trump's overt actions.
After Trump destroys the Ford EV project, the automaker is forced to turn to China for a replacement. Ford has held talks with EV maker Xiaomi over a partnership that would pave the way for Chinese carmakers to gain a foothold in the US, according to four people familiar with the talks.

At this point, Trump could invoke a race war called Helter Skelter (as foretold by the Beatles!) and ninety percent of the Republican Party would immediately embrace it while the other ten percent would grudgingly go along when it proved not to be a total polling disaster.

This should go without saying, but apparently it does. What officials say happened is not the news. What actually happened is the story. And headlines should reflect the truth as you can verify it, not the official lie.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

I see many disinformation posts about Minnesota Statute § 609.066. The posts leave important info out, and makes some up.
Left out is that MN has a very narrow definition of "peace officer" which is the term used in § 609.066. (1/3)
