When they passed the ICE funding bill I suggested that the eventual defunding bill to abolish ICE should also void the pensions of anyone who worked for them, including police and prison guards who switched federal service positions. No retired Gestapo.

The carpets were covered with stains while the wallpaper was faded and peeling. Everything smelled stale and musty. And, in what grossed me out the most, the poker chips were so dirty and grimy that they actually stuck together. You had to pry them apart like an Oreo.

The common thread in Pete Hegseth's rant to the troops, JD Vance suggesting Talarico is a pedophile, Brendan Carr calling the Trump ads aired with tax dollars "normal force PSAs," and Eric Schmitt fabricating a Jack Smith conspiracy is the whole GOP is incentivized to be performatively evil.

Public bathroom access has historically been a weapon used against marginalized people. Against women, disabled people, Black people, and trans people. It's a way to lock folks out of public life.

It’s amazing how the media cooperates to make some issues salient and completely ignores others. We went from North Carolina being protested against for an anti-trans bathroom bill in 2016 to now every politician being asked their position on a dozen or so athletes in ALL of K-16.

Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has made more stock trades than every Member of Congress COMBINED. Trump’s unprecedented corruption — as millions of Americans struggle to afford basic needs — is one of the many reasons why we are going to crush the regime electorally in 49 days.

In upside-down world, Justice Alito blames "the plaintiff States and the courts" for causing the late timing of USPS' attempt to interfere in mail voting by suing to stop it. Unmentioned by Alito: USPS issued the rule in violation of an injunction. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
Second, the plaintiff States and the courts bear a substantial share of the blame for the rule’s timing. In April, the plaintiff States sued to challenge the President’s internal directive to subordinates mandating a rulemaking. For months, this litigation cast a cloud over the Government’s ability to issue a final rule. The District Court entered several injunctions months later prohibiting the Government from undertaking that rulemaking.  Not only was the Government subject to months of premature litigation and a series of injunctions that this Court later determined were likely issued without jurisdiction, the Government had to wait nearly another full month for this Court to issue its decision so holding.  Indeed, this Court spent from late July to the end of August drafting nearly 40 pages of opinions, including two dissents, despite the Government’s public notice that it would not publish a final rule while subject to the injunctions, see 91 Fed. Reg. 44880, and its representation that it had a strong interest in issuing its rule in early- to mid-August to allow time to implement it.  The plaintiff States cannot claim the timing of the rule tilts the equities
