Bennet voted to confirm eight of Trump's cabinet-level nominations and continues to vote for Trump's agenda on lower level positions.

They are obviously slow learners

"Last Sunday, Moss came to the rescue of NMAAHC by announcing that Trinity “is placing the museum in our annual budget.” He then asked parishioners to join him by donating $25 to the museum, the price of a basic membership, to show their faith."

Rufo wrote an intended to be serious story about Rwandan immigrants barbecuing a cat based on supposed interviews with children and adults who wanted money to say their neighbors ate cats. www.dropsitenews.com/p/the-unrave...

I talked to Biden industrial policy official @alexsjacquez.bsky.social about the wild success in bringing back critical industries in a targeted way just a couple years ago, and how painful it feels to see it frittered all away. prospect.org/economy/2025...
