Fox News hosts spend their day telling their audience that Democrats are communists and communists are evil people, then in the evening they all got dressed up to attend a state dinner honoring a communist.

What is so frustrating about current media: DC media losing it over Dems & a Twitch streamer—running for no and holding no office—who has zilch name rec outside narrow online circles, while actual USG voices and senior leading Repubs—including those in office!— say the most vile racist stuff daily.

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

while claiming to the public he opposed it. But Kushner's big gift was brokering the nukes deal on the Saudis' behalf, while supposedly acting for the White House. It might be the most consequential act of proliferation in decades, and it contradicts all Trump's claims going into the Iran War.

MAGA got a huge return on gaslighting the elite into treating Trump's <2 percent popular vote plurality as a permanent repudiation of liberalism. The midterms represent an opportunity to propound an inverse but true narrative of American rejection of MAGA. But Dems have to frame it that way first.

And think about it: Foreign govmts didn't pay tariffs. US companies did & passed those costs directly to Americans. (And then they got tariff rebates, which they did NOT pass on to consumers). So who came out on top? US companies, who now make higher profits PERMANENTLY. So who was it all for? 🤔

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.
