Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

“Some of the powerful called their plan "accelerationism" others called it "conservatism." Those who tried to tell the world what was happening called it by different names--Christo-fascism, nationalism, rightwing extremism. The name didn't matter, the object was always the same.”

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

DOGGETT: Isn't it true that for you & for a number of cabinet members and Trump appointees, simply not having your taxes restored to the level that existed when President Bush was in office will provide you very substantial personal benefit?

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

It's funny that the way chatgpt obsequiously fawns at the users no matter how delusional they are being, is exactly what billionaires consider normal human interaction. To a billionaire, chatgpt just sounds like every single person they speak to.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."
