Dems take note. This is what your constituents want to see. We know you don’t control every lever of power, so it’s less right now about triangulation and strategy, and more about what you’re willing to put on the line. Please show us you’re willing to stand up for and with us.

I think MNBA 🏀 players would be shocked if they could hear the chatter of the female fans who are old enough to be their mothers.

Exactly. (Part of the problem is that none of these ignoramuses have ever read any quality literature. They live in an unexamined echo chamber of mediocrity.)

Excuse me.

Your party just lead the effort to take a 10% stake in a private company, Intel. THIS IS THE TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF COMMUNISM!

Democrats DO NOT want our government to take ownership of private assets.

Johnson on nuking the filibuster: "Is it wise? A lot of people would tell you it's not. I mean, on the Republican side, I would be deeply concerned if the Democrats had a bare majority in the Senate right now of Marxist ideology taking over the Democrat Party...turning us into a communist country"

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

It’s morning in Cincinnati.

This is my neighborhood market.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

JD Vance’s half-brother is running against Cincinnati’s Democratic incumbent Mayor.

Early voting starts today, Cincinnati!

Show him and the MAGA incompetents who are working to dismantle our nation the door - vote for Mayor Pureval.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Absolute shock in France: Lecornu, who was just appointed prime minister by Macron two weeks ago, announced today that he was resigning.

The country was already in unprecedented territory, but this pushes it to another level; odds of new elections shortly just soared.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I am really liking Horford.
Horford screens.
He blocks.
He rebounds.
He moves.
He is smart and calm.

I’m liking him.

He is also a bit of a hottie.
Wasn’t expecting that.

Sadiq Khan has done a brilliant and courageous job. London is so fortunate to have him and so right to have elected him.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
