Democrats have voted repeatedly to reopen the government, and prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and premiums from skyrocketing for millions more.

Republicans voted against it each time.

Yes, facts are stubborn things.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

On the one hand, Trump doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize even if this 'deal' happens, as we've seen these deals, ceasefires, come & go - & be violated by Israel with US support. Will it even hold?

On the other hand, Kissinger got an effing Nobel Peace Prize so might as well give one to Trump.

I sincerely believe Miller probably will have some American killed for their politics before this is over, because he desperately wants to and is trying to talk it into reality. But he’ll pitch himself into the abyss at that moment. Perverts and fetishists can’t think past the moment of catharsis

As a reminder, when Jack Posobiec was in the US Navy, they assessed his full capabilities and concluded that he was best suited to collecting samples for urinalysis

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 13h

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Nothing against the excellent Viola Davis, but after absolutely owning the role of #AmandaWaller in several animated projects how did CCH Pounder never get to play the character in live action?

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

He says he is authorized to go after terrorists.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
