gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

I don’t think AOC is all that likely to win a D primary, especially if Harris runs, but 1) it’s not impossible and 2) she’ll be on the VP shortlist for almost every candidate regardless

When you say "I won't vote for Newsom over Vance" you think you're saying "Gavin Newsom is bad, let's not nominate him." But you aren't. You're saying "JD Vance is not that bad. Trump is not that bad. They're normal, they're fine. If they win again, it's fine." You are supporting Trump.

Here’s the stupidest thing about this: in a heterogeneous coalition, *everyone can do it*. Centrists can say they won’t support AOC and expect praise for it. Leftists’ argument depends on the expectation that they won’t.

You guys know that Gavin Newsom’s whole strategy is to get you to talk about him like he’s the presumptive nominee so he seems like it, right? And you don’t have to do that because it’s 2026? You’re taking the bait.

Voting against someone because they don’t fit your ideal version of a candidate in hopes of the country suffering enough to produce the perfect candidate is just like trickle down economics, history proves it doesn’t work… nobody is perfect and incremental progress gets taken away under republicans

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

These dudes think this is so clever. Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime. There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.
