Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Preemptively surrendering entirely to provide for fellow citizens because something is really, really (really) hard to implement is the most un-American thing I could possibly think to not only suggest, but to beat your fucking chest about at internet randoms. This is asinine whining.
I would love to see a version of UHC here.
No one on here wants to address issues. They just want the magical fairy dust version of UHC to suddenly appear.
Other countries do it so ….

So you're proposing keeping an existing broken system (healthcare) because we hsve doctors and nurses in debt from another broken system (education loans). When do we tackle the broken systems that are bankrupting people?

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

The delayed/smothered/spiked 60 Minutes report is what you'd expect: a straightforward account of the brutality at CECOT told through the eyes of a migrant sent there who claims to have no criminal record. It ought to be a disgrace for the Trump administration. Let's see how Bari Weiss handles this.

If they just aired it they could claim they're not biased. If they just left Trump's name in a couple innocuous Epstein reports they could claim there's nothing else to see. This is Saddam/Putin shit, claiming he got 100% of the vote. They're very stupid fascists!

Sucks, but a whole lot of people seem to be just figuring out we have insanely precise time calculated in multiple locations for extreme redundancy for a reason. And that one place going down is okay.

The first answer: "In this country those honors are conferred by consensus after a person's death."
The second: "I'm not particularly worried about anyone who thinks a man who spiritually and financially bankrupted us is worthy of his name on a building."

I doubt that any Democrat in the '28 mix would leave Trump's name on buildings. Questions are how they talk about taking it off, and what they say when reporters ask some version of "but wouldn't that further divide the country?"
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney said the problem was that 47% of America didn’t pay taxes and wanted to be freeloaders. But I welcome him to the resistance.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

I wasn't thrilled when BIll agreed to this debate, but it did provide us with this absolute banger of an exchange showing the difference between science and firewalled faith in nonsense.
A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.
