Just got home from the hospital - husband had a procedure - and the guy in the next cubicle wanted Fox news on immediately after his procedure. So glad I was moved to the waiting room.

This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

Or the fact that it was Biden's DOJ that oversaw the prosecution of **Bob Menendez**—or launched the investigation of Eric Adams! None of that mattered. People screaming about the politicization of the DOJ under Biden continued screaming the same thing.

Donald Trump’s healthcare plan was to take away your insurance and raise the costs on a bowl of chicken soup while stripping N.I.H. & CDC of their budgets and expertise. He did this to have more money to invest in data centers for the rich assholes who support him. Vote Blue.

I'm with you, but we can't let the media recast this as just a laugh line. We've all joked, but this was malevolence as much as incompetence. After the laughs, it deserves scrutiny, exposure, disdain, and censure. You don't get to just defame a witness, and Dems should be mad as hell about it.

The Supreme Court’s decision to let the Trump Administration deport people to countries where they have zero ties is indefensible. Taxpayers shouldn't fund tearing people from the only home they’ve ever known, nor should our legal system fast-track these unilateral deportations.

The stupidity is funny and these people deserve to suffer. But the thing that pisses me off about this is that Trump won in Atlanta. That was the case that gave us his mugshot and could’ve sent him to prison. But he convinced society the prosecutor’s love life meant he didn’t commit a crime.
