What a despicable comment from his press secretary. Jose Padilla is a convicted terrorist.

JD Vance flew into a state where Alex Padilla got more votes than Trump (and Gavin Newsom) and slandered him, using the name of a terrorist.

Lee’s greed was a tactical blunder. Call the Senate tomorrow. They’re weak on this. 📞 (202) 224-3121 www.usa.gov/elected-offi... “Lee drew strong condemnation from many of his fellow conservatives in particular, who have slammed the proposed sell-off as a betrayal of the American people.”

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom. Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

Winston Churchill said it was worth five battleships or 50 destroyers. Franklin D Roosevelt ordered it to be rushed into theatres. Joseph Goebbels hated it. Released in 1942, Mrs Miniver, based on Jan Struther’s novel, was the story of an English family’s stiff-upper-lip heroism, early in WW2.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.
