One of the smartest decisions the “No Kings” organizers made was not staging a counter-protest of Trump’s parade in DC. He wanted that confrontation. Instead, millions gathered around the country while Trump’s parade fell far short of attendance goals. It made Trump look small.

The lesson to learn from the Signal chat scandal is this: these people really are morons. It isn't a public facade. It isn't an act. It isn't a schtick. There isn't a back room where the mask comes off. This is it. They are hopelessly incompetent, stupid people.

Is this who we want to become?!
The image is a screenshot of a CNN broadcast with a graphic titled "PROPOSED CHANGES TO FLORIDA CHILD LABOR LAWS." The graphic lists the following points:
Eliminate working time restrictions

14-year-olds can work overnight

Teens can work overnight on school days

End guaranteed meal breaks for ages 16 & 17

The graphic features the Florida state seal on the left side. Below the graphic, there is a ticker with the text: "DEVELOPING STORY: FLA. TO LIFT SOME CHILD LABOR LAWS DUE TO LACK OF MIGRANT WORKERS; IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT ATTEMPTS TO DETAIN HER FOR NEWS CENTRAL."
