Trump should have been in jail the day after biden took office and charged with treason. Going after his followers was a pointless waste of time.

Bondi should appoint a special counsel to investigate her investigations of the previous special counsels

I wish insurance companies spent as much money lobbying for vaccinations as they did on lobbying to stop single-payer.

I hope he looks scared when he is in prison with the rest of them.

The rules are nobody can complain about being in a dictatorship until it is too late to complain.

But also, moving to government run health care would give them a direct lever through which they could kill their political opposition which is making me rethink my support for it.

The republican opposition to government healthcare was always a product of their donor base, not their voter base and that donor base is increasingly irrelevant as they now rely on bribery and extortion more than policy to make money.

It would not be surprising at all if the MAGA republicans fold on health care, because they are not especially right wing along that axis, and they would completely embrace Medicare for all if they could call it TrumpCare.

I think Miller is kind of a Stalin type and he is putting himself into a position where he can seize power if Trump dies.

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility.

Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

I am turning into a broken record on this but congress has impeachment power that they refuse to use.

Worst case scenario is this gets resolved when there are boots on the ground and individual officers have to make the call — and possibly opposing calls.

It’s a good piece, but i think it misses where “ai art” is mostly being used — people making stuff for themselves, that they look at once and then throw away.

All it will take is one spark to light the whole tinderbox.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Plus it’s basically just doxxing them isn’t it

The difference here is that congress has willingly abdicated their role in governing.

Congress remains able to stop this with one vote.

One thing about the current moment is that a lot of people who would probably call you hysterical if you said you didn't believe there would be a 2028 election are acting the way they might if they didn't believe there was going to be a 2028 election

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.
