Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

“We don’t want outsiders changing our culture” sounds very different when your own faith sends missionaries around the world with the explicit goal of changing beliefs.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

In the 1830s everyone in the USA knew
that canal waterways were the future of
commerce. Every state started building a
canal network with the vision of hooking
them all into a national network. In 1837
there was a Great Recession, and the tax
base for the canal work collapsed. When
the economy recovered 5 years later, the
railroad boom was happening and
everyone knew that canals were over.
That's why every city in the Midwest has a
half-finished canal in it. This is a post
about data centers

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.

Duncan Levin: The problem is not that Americans misunderstand what the court is doing but, rather, that Americans can plainly see the pattern in the court's decisions.
