Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Was Indiana about principles? Or was it a realization that diluting a district Trump won by 20 was going to result in a flip to the Dems based on all available polling and all recent elections.
Indiana wasn’t principle. It was self-preservation.

Worst. Senate. Ever.
Republican senators surrendered to Trump, and now they own this catastrophe.

How are Rao and walker on every panel involving a Trump appeal (or so it appears)?
BREAKING: Judges Rao and Walker — both Trump appointees — issue an "administrative stay" blocking Judge Boasberg's contempt proceedings set to begin on Monday.
The administrative stay is issued over the objection of Judge Childs, a Biden appointee.

@akivamcohen.bsky.social this is what I was talking about as being more problematic than rhetoric. It's on the borderline because it's essentially rhetoric, given that they have no control over the outcome. But it's different than rhetorical "FIGHTING (tm) b/c it's a statement of right and wrong.
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

But she's not wrong. Harris and Biden before that did exactly what you're saying Jeffries should and that did not convince voters to eschew giving the seditionist who pledged to do this very type of thing to alleged drug smugglers a second chance. Some times it is the voters' fault!!!
Yes, yes, the party can never fail, it can only be failed

Can’t remember which one but one of Biden’s later pressers was just these dumbfks yelling questions him that no honest person could hear or answer and I never understand why trump never gets that scrum treatment.
Can someone show the White House Press Corpse a montage of the reporters who covered previous administrations, the ones who weren't complete cowards?
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Is this a thing? It’s the heroin that’s the issue? Wtf
I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Yeah but that’s not true. Manchin hate him or not was the closest any Dem could ever get to winning statewide in WVA what are we doing here
I’m haunted by a prominent NYC left organizer telling me that Joe Manchin should be primaried and that advocacy groups - with enough budget - could easily elect a progressive in his place.
