What will we do on Charlie Kirk day to honour his memory?

Will we tell little girls their place is in the kitchen?

Will we tell POC women judges they stole a spot from a white person?

Inform POC pilots they're likely unqualified?

What a travesty

Kayleigh McEnany on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension: "For all the concern about the 'the First Amendment, the First Amendment,' what about all the amendments that Charlie Kirk lost? Because Charlie Kirk has no amendments right now. None."

If the vaccine isn’t covered under the federal program, some families would face higher out-of-pocket costs or have to get the vaccines separately instead of the single combined shot. That would lower convenience and reduce uptake, which would, in turn, leave more children unprotected!

Ironically, pretrial release of one criminal defendant in particular is substantially responsible for where we are today.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:

In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”

In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Senate Republicans have quietly inserted provisions in President Trump’s domestic policy bill that would not only end federal support for wind and solar energy but would impose an entirely new tax on future projects, a move that industry groups say could devastate the renewable power industry.
G.O.P. Bill Adds Surprise Tax That Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power
Wind and solar companies were already bracing for Congress to end federal subsidies. But the Senate bill goes even further and penalizes those industries.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

QUESTION: Assume this Maryland man is, in fact, in the USA illegally and therefore is subject to deportation. WHY IS HE IN PRISON?? He didn't commit any crime in either the USA or El Salvador, right? Shouldn't he be just dropped off at his mother's house in Guatemala or something?

I used to admire and respect you, but your involvement in this trashing of Joe Biden is contemptible. If he was in decline during his presidency, why didn't you report it then? And why do you ignore the conspicuous signs of Trump's decline now? Shame on you.

Please could you help them test it by tapping it and reposting? It would really cheer them up. 😉

After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best.

Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win.

Disgusting.
