Perfect summation of the antiwoke worldview: trying to destroy democracy is bad, but not nearly as bad as sitting through an HR training

the media doesn't care about normal americans and doesn't care about our rights. it would be easy to cover this as a persistent scandal but they instead treat it as normal and re-print trump's lies about "vandalism."

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

Always remember that the coup never ended. This un-American action, that would imprison everyone involved in a normal and functioning government, should disqualify all involved.

Putin refuses a ceasefire. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin refuses a direct meeting. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin continues to attack Ukrainian civilians. Zelenskyy retaliates on strategic and military targets. Politicians calling for "both sides" to "negotiate" serve russia.

The GOP is handing a $70B slush fund to ICE. With that money, we could: -Feed 30M hungry people. -Give 1.3M kids free childcare.  -Lower gas and grocery prices. They just don’t care about the American people.

Now that Todd Blanche has confirmed Trump will still enjoy immunity from IRS audits, Dems must find every way they can to force Rs to vote on this. Rep Jamie Raskin tells me Dems will push the issue in coming days. Let's turn this into a political fiasco for GOP: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Lindsey Graham said releasing the Epstein files would "destroy" Donald Trump. He did not say the files were false. He did not say they were manipulated. He said they would destroy him. That is not a defense of Trump. That is a description of what is in the files.

Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

Hannity relayed a message from Trump to John Fetterman he would get "more money than he ever dreamed of" if he flipped Republican. This is not based on sources. It was on live TV. The President openly bribing a US senator. No one blinked. This is our America in 2026.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

IMHO, Turley is right, but for the wrong reason. He says that wishing a POTUS dead is protected speech under Watts v U.S. Yes, but Turley assumes 86 is known to mean murder or harm. I don't think we have to get to the Watts argument. I think it fails first on what a reasonable person thinks 86 means
