Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

I guess I’m in the minority for focusing on how Trump’s oil deal helps Putin while most are focused on how little it helps US oil/diesel prices.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

If you’re a random person and you have to deal with death threats and harassment from internet stalkers, it’s my understanding that the FBI basically ignores you in most circumstances. But the Millers are so powerful they can demote the head of the FBI’s DC field office for investigating too slow.
The orders from the bureau's DC chief Darren Cox stemmed from frustration shared by the Miller family that the field office was moving slowly in probing allegedly harassing phone messages left with prominent conservative podcaster, Katie Miller, added the people, who spoke anonymously to avoid retaliation.
Several of the individuals said Director Kash Patel was also displeased with the office's progress on the case.

Holy forking shirt balls
Since I was not present, I was a convenient target to be scapegoated and publicly vilified. You
recklessly agreed in court that I had committed misconduct without even asking for my account,
fully reviewing the record or briefing the law. That evening, you sent an office-wide email laying
responsibility at my feet for a felony prosecution that you personally directed over my objection
that the case was better suited to misdemeanor charges. You then publicly announced an
investigation of my conduct spanning twenty years. These inexplicable actions severely damaged
a reputation I worked hard to build over decades and have damaged my prospects for future
