This is obviously a national-scale story, is it being reported anywhere but the Phoenix New Times?

You are a disgusting POS if you attend a march to “free Palestine” on October 7th. Absolute filth.

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

A Wealthy Russian Businessman Is Helping Fund Trump’s Stupid Ballroom. Nothing Sketchy About That, Right?
Surely, our president will face consequences for this insanity.

Leaving aside that blue states had started legalizing gay marriage well before Obergefell, the majority for that case was one Republican (Kennedy) and four Dem appointees, two of whom had been appointed by Obama

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

“The president had a stroke and is now secretly wearing devices to disguise his physical incapacity” might not be a TRUE story, but it’s a PLAUSIBLE story, and if it is true, a lot of people must know, and the journalist who breaks it will be famous forever. Seems like a real incentive to dig!

We need to protect Social Security for the next generation.
The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.

I think Democrats need to go on the attack of the media. They need to consistently point out how spineless the media is and how they have a double standard. At every turn the media is attacking Democrats. When they’re not sanewashing and covering up for Trump then they’re using leftists to attack

What’s galling about mamdami chiming in on war crimes is he has none of the background to comment. He’s not a lawyer, he’s not a foreign policy guy, he’s not an NGO guy, and he’s obviously not part of the ICC. He’s stating an opinion on a matter outside his purview as a matter of faith. Shame on him

A gentle reminder that the guy who beat Orban was the “lesser of two evils.” So vote your soul in the primaries, then please, in the name of all that is good and holy, vote for the Democrat in the general.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

The country was founded on good principles, even as the founders failed to live up to them. We have done bad things in the past, and we can do good things in the future. Nothing in here is difficult to square. America is whatever Americans make it.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.
