A Turning Point USA early adopter sees the light and leaves. Now an attorney in Texas she writes: “I was in deep” into TPUSA, “an organization within which I initially found so much belonging and joy. However, the deeper I got, the more meanness I found. A nastiness that I didn’t understand….”

Hi, I'm Caroline, and I used to work for Charlie Kirk and TPUSA. Over the past several years, I've grappled with how to reconcile my past political involvement with the state of politics now, but with the direction of U.S. politics, I truly cannot stay silent.

Every single Republican who just voted to rip health care away from 17 million Americans has government-funded health care.

“Depriving adults and their kids of healthcare and saddling our grandkids with crippling debt is ‘immaterial’ as long as we get to keep kidnapping people with darker skin.” What sick bastards.

So we can all agree that Trump intends for Medicare and Medicaid to collapse so that he can either offer government loans with insane strings attached to hospitals or overhaul the healthcare system altogether in some kind of crazy MAHA way, right?

The votes are slowing down. They don’t have a bill. Still issues with Parl. Still disagreeing in caucus. Still fighting with House. Still no final language.

My biggest concern with Trump’s massive consolidation of executive power is that they wouldn’t be doing *gestures around at literally everything* all this if they genuinely believed a democrat (or even a moderate republican) would be in the White House in the foreseeable future.

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

It's apparently "not human" anymore to use an em dash when writing, which is slightly annoying as someone who uses the em dash frequently. Everyone being terrible at writing is responsible for this.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

Honestly, I get that we need these stories, but, like, the actual story is: Everyone with half a brain knew this — and many, many people said it — but Stephen Miller doesn’t care. And Donald Trump let him start implementing this stupid, hateful plan.
