Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of a bad poll, meanwhile the observers and neighbors here on the ground in Minneapolis are afraid of being beaten senseless, dragged into a car, and raced out of their neighborhood. They’re not yielding but he is. Consider new leaders, Democrats

Just this week, someone told me they wished I would stop including the appointing president in stories, and I was like, “Not a chance.” This is why.

Trump's appellate judges have formed a nearly united phalanx to defend his agenda from legal challenges. How often they ruled for him in 2025:
Trump appointees: 92%
Other Republican appointees: 68%
Democratic appointees: 27%

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

No, not Denmark's universal healthcare coverage, paid parental leave, paid childcare or paid sick leave.
They instead just copied Denmark's recommended vaccine schedule to remove 6 vaccines.

Bc some are asking, reupping my comment abt machine gun charges.
They're not surprising charges, & there are overt acts abt trading weapons to FARC for cocaine in indictments. Maduro's co-conspirator pled to them in June, AFTER SCOTUS' bump stock ruling.
But Maduro will surely challenge them.

A comment on the inclusion of machine gun charges in the Maduro indictment. I laughed and I do think it ridiculous that DOJ included it even while DOJ is suing DC to force it to accept semi-automatic weapons.
It's a traditional charge designed to up sentences.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
