Measles is absolutely tearing through unvaccinated communities. There were more new cases of measles in the US in the past seven days (330) than we had in ALL of 2024 (285). A total 4,410 cases this year, which everyone agrees is an undercount. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-m...

“Where do most of the people in your district live” isn’t something a normal candidate, seeking to honestly represent them, should need to “memorize”.

One of the mental habits Christians usually never break is the inherent assumption that suffering brings out the best in humanity, even if the sentiment is dressed up in fancy language Suffering does not make people or society better, full stop. We seek silver linings as an evolutionary trait

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

“There isn’t a declared war so this particular act can’t be a war crime” is not actually a legal defence nor does it have standing in LOAC or IHL. It’s the sort of cheap ploy often used by people who want atrocities to go unpunished or who deny them altogether

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

As a reminder, the most dangerous period in the tenure of any dictator or would-be dictator is often the stretch of time when their regime is imploding but hasn't been removed from power yet.

YES. I also think there’s an argument to be made that presidential pardons cannot be valid as applied to subordinates, particularly under the “unitary executive” theory (which, to be clear, is made up anticonstitutional bullshit, but still).

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

Wanna see something else that’s funny to place side by side? I’m sure it’s a total coincidence that Space X was caught violating Russian sanctions in 2024 right when Musk dropped $200,000,000 to elect Trump (who not only refused to investigate but then put him in charge of dismantling USAID).
