This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

Denmark/Europe should organize a counter-Olympics.

Every freedom-loving nation should opt to participate there and boycott the United States.

The world was slow to react to fascism a century ago.

Let’s be quicker to the draw this time.

I actually think Tillis' approach here is not bad.

You're not going go persuade other Republicans to buck Trump directly. You MIGHT lead them to revolt against Stephen Miller, without whom Trump might crumble at this point.
Tillis: "To be clear -- I'm not critical of the president. I'm critical of the bad advice he's getting on Greenland."

Janis Joplin would have turned 83 today. I think she would have loved the 1970s and 1980s. Though the album Pearl was released in 1971 after her death, Joplin had arranged the tracks. #MusicSky

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

All sane countries NEED to dump American bonds. Do it Monday morning and watch Trump's presidency spiral faster down the drain. You need to make America fucking hurt if you ever want it to respect you. Trump is already planning on screwing you by dumping U.S. debt into crypto.

I swear on the love of all things fuck, simply "going back to normal" ISN'T GOING TO FUCKING CUT IT. I WILL OPPOSE ANY DEMOCRATIC POLITICAN WHO DOESN'T SUPPORT LOCKING EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE ICE AGENTS UP FOR THE REST OF THEIR FUCKING LIFE! NO EXCEPTIONS!

The Epstein Files are so much more than just Donald Trump.

He’s a player in this established system that uses blackmail of people in positions of power around the world to manipulate desired outcomes.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Sorry. Has someone said this?
1) Trump can’t impose tariff unilaterally
2) Trump has no $$ to buy Greenland
3) Trump has no authority to leave NATO

As I said yesterday: the people causing the unrest and the violence are overwhelmingly the ones who work for the government.

These are DHS agents not MPD according to their uniforms. What federal crime was the dancing fox reasonably suspected of?
Outside of the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis a person dancing in a fox costume is arrested by the MPD. Protests have been consistent outside of this building since the ramped up ICE presence.
