random farmer to Trump on what his child said to him: "He said, 'Daddy, I don't want Santa Claus to come to our house for Christmas, I want President Trump.' I think you brought Christmas to farmers with this bridge payment."

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

An ICE agent has been arrested for putting a woman in a chokehold and causing “serious physical harm”

Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times

It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents

Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman
ICE agent arrested, held on ‘no bond’ order at prosecutor’s request
Samuel Saxon is charged with felonious assault, strangulation and domestic violence.He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

I'm not live blogging the Trump v. Slauighter args (can Trump fire everybody args). I will be writing about it.
But I come here to say: Dear Liberals, please STOP ASKING former Republican clerks to argue our side of the case. I know you think they "speak Republican." But they also SUCK.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

Trump has pardoned over a hundred major drug traffickers despite his anti-drug rhetoric

So why are we killing the boatmen at the absolute lowest level of the drug delivery? The boats were not headed toward US shores but in direction of Trinidad or Tobago

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
