I cannot believe how effective you are at making me passionately hate you, you have a gift
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

I know that everyone is like “oh the whole point of this is to destroy CBS, they actually want to run it into the ground” and I’m sure plenty of folks will be happy if they do
but David Ellison and Bari Weiss don’t want that! they really think they’ve got something! they are just very bad at this

We're all supposed to be 100% in tune with white men's feelings. We're supposed to care about them at the expense of our own. We are supposed to live in fear of them getting upset. Treating their feelings as grenades that can go off at any time. They on the other hand do not need to care about ours.

they keep emphasizing that these are on "known narcotrafficking routes" and like, those are just route-routes. there are not special ocean highways for drugs.
I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

It’s really fascinating how Gavin Newsome will get extremely defensive and constantly say “I’m the best on trans stuff” right after saying some transphobic stuff. He does it literally every time.

But 100% of the people using that as a pro ai argument aren't disabled.

President Trump is preparing to order his administration to dramatically loosen restrictions on MARIJUANA.
The order would reclassify cannabis from Schedule I — the same level as heroin — to Schedule III — the same level as Tylenol and codeine and some steroids.

Now I may be wrong, but I am inclined to think the reason Syrians are talking about being free of Zionist occupation is because Syrians are in fact currently living under Zionist occupation.

This is what you'd do if you wanted to enable the abuse of children via social media.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

The mayor's letter asks the City Council to spend money it doesn't have on police recruits that don't exist to solve a problem that is fake.
There is no magic ratio of police officers to residents that will make LA more safe. The unsupported obsession with 10,000 officers is bankrupting us.

Yesterday, Mayor Karen Bass sent a letter to city council urging them to allocate $4.4 million to hire 410 LAPD officers. I wrote earlier about LAPD going over budget on hiring, w/o permission or identifying $ to cover the overages. Budget/finance committee was not happy.
