It’s beyond belief that the president of the United States can just completely fabricate utter nonsense and the media and lawmakers don’t even blink. Like truly unfathomable. Like am I in a fever dream? Is this real life?

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

The correct response of a US Representative in Congress is not to grant the premise that the Mad King can govern by fiat & ignore/override Article I of the Constitution, but rather to say “He doesn’t have the power to do this by executive order, & so now he must resign or be impeached”

Until every vote is counted, get your news somewhere other than X, and ask the people running for office to publish it somewhere else too.

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.

It's incredibly weird that so many people demonize socialism when socialism is what so many aspire to in retirement. Medicare (ideally) = not having to worry about medical payments after retirement age. Social security (ideally) = universal basic income after retirement age.

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.
