The good news is we have the technology to precision strike anywhere in the world, with minimal damage to bystanders. The bad news is we are using it to kill children.

A new religion was founded last night.
"You see, Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he'd get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, you'd come to its source, and that's the Lord."
--Rob McCoy, Kirk's pastor
Sooo... what exactly does that mean? If we follow Kirk's politics we'll become Christians?

Their entire strategy – stealing immigrants away, dismantling our education system, destabilizing our food supply, defanging the EPA and CFPB, even defunding FEMA – is about stoking social unrest, so there will be riots, so there will be a backlash, so the country will be softer toward dictatorship.

If you're wondering why I had no reaction to the ceasefire announcement while Gazans were dancing in the streets, this is why.

Would be horrible but not completely unreasonable if this spurred some secession talks in California.
Mike Johnson just threatened to potentially extort California by adding “conditions” to wildfire disaster relief aid.
He said Republicans might attach unrelated things to the funding, like Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.

Johnson confirms 'discussions' on tying wildfire aid to debt limit
Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters one option on the table is making a new tranche of disaster relief funding for the California wildfires conditional on agreeing to raise the debt ceiling.

Anyone find themselves pining for that extremely short era in your life where like, only *some* of your friends had their own places? Man I hated being 18-22 but it was the best of times and worst of times. I just want to go back for a day.

The Laken Riley Act is a sweeping assault on legal immigration. It would subject immigrants *authorized to live and work here* to indefinite detention without a criminal conviction. And it would let a federal judge ban ALL visas from entire countries at a state's request. slate.com/news-and-pol...
This New Immigration Bill That’s About to Pass Is a Horrifying Trojan Horse
If Democrats cannot recover their nerve and stand up to this extremism, they will be complicit in the devastating consequences of its passage.

And they make all our Lego.
As Trump insanely refuses to rule out using "military or economic coercion” to take control of Greenland—a territory of Denmark—keep a few facts in mind. Denmark is a strong NATO ally; it surpasses Trump’s demand to spend 2% of its GDP on defense; and it fought alongside US forces in Afghanistan.
