The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

Joe Biden's underrated presidency
He's achieved a lot — with the notable exception of popularity.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Zelensky says Russia attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities during the day, after Ukraine refrained from striking Russian energy sites overnight following Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement. He said Russia’s attacks were Putin’s response to Trump and called for more pressure on Moscow. #Ukraine

Unfortunately there was nothing to counter the disinfo even in slow mode. How many people believed until the latest Iran fiasco that Obama's deal was a capitulation? How many still believe Hillary sent confidential info in unsecured emails? Thanks for addressing the issue properly.

Conservatives have been screaming bloody murder that Jack Smith lawfully collected call data on Trump allies in 2023 and 2024. But executing a search warrant on Omar’s house a few weeks before the election is totally cool.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.
DHS encourages “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave with some sort of $3,000 payout, its naked racism.

This is so basic. It is not USPS' job to decide whether ballots are eligible or not. That's the job of the state election officials. USPS' job is simply to ensure that the ballots get from election officials to the voters and then from the voters back to election officials. That's it.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

USPS’s job is to deliver the mail even if some mailed ballots genuinely are fake, illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid. It’s on election administrators to catch and reject those, and they do. USPS has no role in it and the very idea mucks up the systems we actually have for election integrity.

Stop referring to anti-vaxers and election deniers as folks who tried to do their own research but got it wrong. What they really did was watching some YouTube clips. At most they read an article (which they didn't understand). This is neither "research" nor "their own"!

B) If the housing bill becomes law, what about the war powers act? Although the Senate passed a contradicting bill afterwards, But the new bill didn't pass Congress yet. So technically this bill should become law pending the presidential signature or lack of within 10 days.
