"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

My stance with the “never Trump” right remains: These are the people who fucking built Trump. Years of shit in service of Reagan, Bush, Romney, McCain paved the way for Trump. I don’t trust them. They’re rotten. I trust the people who opposed this shit all along.

Handwaving away your party’s embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories by saying “at least we’re not controlled by George Soros” is the most ridiculously quiet-part-loud thing I’ve ever seen.

the lesson from doge is not that we need to cut waste fraud and abuse better. the lesson is that GOVERNMENT FULFILLS MANY VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS and that among those is SAVING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF CHILDREN.

I owe my mom an apology. She read that he’d said this about people dressing up more for flying and I thought it was too stupid even for the “afraid to take a subway” guy to be real.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

I actually got an #SDCC badge for Thurs/Sun (shock). And w/o a group (more shock). Last time I got something in open reg solo was 1st yr of online registrations ~2011 or 2012, then after that it was all returning registrations w/ friends until 2020 cancellation.

Maybe don’t elect people who’ve never bought groceries, paid for a tank of gas, navigated open enrollment, dealt w/ doctors or insurance co. over billing/authorization issues, paid some bills (& maybe checked their bank acct first). Just some basic functional skills.

The reason the emails read like hot garbage is because they don't have to worry about being judged. These are not men who have ever poured over an email out of fear of not being taken seriously or not being treated professionally.

He lacks everything you want in a Sec of Defense: intelligence, leadership, experience, good judgment, seriousness, etc. But he has some physical fitness skills, so that’s what matters most to him, along with the racism and misogyny.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.
