Serious, thoughtful, inappropriate sense of humor. Love trains. Neutral good. I do like people - just from a safe distance. Amateur historian (with a degree and a lot of books). Information is my love language.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

Just a reminder that whenever Trump says that inflation started with Biden, what he neglects to say was that it was a result of efforts to offset his incredibly botched handling of COVID and the economic consequences it triggered.

Republicans need to let go of the red scare shit. Communists will never gain a foothold in the United States both because there are so few of them and because they spend 90% of their time arguing about who is actually a Communist.

When Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files, he chose to protect predators and enablers instead of fighting for survivors like Annie Farmer, Sharlene Rochard, and Wendy Pesante. I’m honored to be joined by these women in our fight to hold pedophiles and their enablers accountable.

It's even worse - he used to say his family escaped Castro, but then it was revealed his family fled the US-supported Fulgencio Batista. Now that it's advantageous to be a Western supremacist, he's pushing aside Cuban and going with Spanish.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Normalization is treating the president stealing from taxpayers to buy campaign ads and offer bribes to voters like it's just another day. Normalization is reacting with "won't work" or "polls poorly," and not "resign immediately or you'll be removed, we exist because of a revolution against that."

So I’m guessing Trump has decided that ending daylight saving time is the One Weird Trick to win the midterms. So he’s going to be in a blind rage at the Senate for not coming back and doing it, and he’ll spend the next month attacking his own party for—as he now sees it—throwing the election.
