I was 28 when 9/11 happened. I remember after, telling a Republican that we shouldn't round up anyone who is Muslim just because the hijackers happened to be Muslim. That was the first time someone said I was siding with the terrorists.

It's amazing to see conservative Justices claim the 14th Amendment needs to get with the times but the 2nd Amendment should absolutely not get with the times.

@repstansbury.bsky.social making another excellent point. This isn't just about broken buildings and money. Trump and his Republican enablers cost the lives of thousands of innocent people. Just horrendous.

Iran gets tons of money and complete lifting of sanctions and we get a promise from them. Just a catastrophically bad deal by the U.S.

Suspending the gas tax would be a gift to the oil industry, as they would be under no obligation to lower prices and they would just pocket that money.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social is correct. Tax Revenue, as a share of GDP, is several percentage points lower now due to decades of Republican tax cuts. Any plan to balance the budget and pay down our debt must include tax increases.

I'm truly fascinated by people on the left who think that impeaching Trump a 3rd time will have any positive effect on the country.

Standing up for what we know is right, defending those who are being unjustly attacked, is absolutely keeping with the heart and soul of what it means to be liberal. Starting a fight to hurt people we don't like, is not.

The U.S. is not known for fixing what we broke. And I'm pretty sure Iran knows this.

"I know where Iran sleeper cells are but I'd rather focus on Somalis in Minneapolis ..." is one hell of a position to take.

Imagine China attacking the U.S. and taking out Trump and Vance and then saying "For good measure we're also taking out Congress, your Generals, half your Governors and a random elementary school."

From the same President who last week said we were taking out Iran's leader so the people could rise up and form their own government.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

The fact that #NBC decided to skip #Finland during the introduction of the countries and athletes, does not bode well for NBC's coverage. #Olympics
