Sometimes in the 1850s, northern crowds would rescue people (either fugitive slaves or people in trouble for helping them) from federal detention That was very illegal and doing the same thing now would also be very illegal

Hold on. I was assured by our brightest political minds that discussing Trump's fashy approach to immigration would only play into his hands.

Every MAGA voter should write-in Trump on their ballot in every race, for every election. Anything else would be disloyal.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

This heartbreaking piece really highlights what is going on here. In the name of religious freedom, some justices are basically insisting on some right to treat LGBTQ folks badly and even a right to ban from schools books that are accepting of them.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Hard not to be blisteringly fucking angry that Trump is once again POTUS, with unilateral launch authority over our entire arsenal of nuclear weapons All he's doing is exactly what he said he'd do THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN and everyone's shitting it like "we don't approve!" TOO FUCKING LATE DUMBSHITS

Pete Hegseth keeps saying Warfighter and I hate that word so much man. That’s like if you asked a McKinsey freak to invent a wussy euphemism for solider. That’s like saying person of gun experience.

I was certainly never optimistic about a second Trump administration, but his rage against the people of the United States is so much more virulent and deranged than even I expected. He’s destroying everything. It’s nightmarish.

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The Japanese trade delegation came to meet in good faith with Trump’s economic team and after a while, they realized that Trump’s team didn’t know what they wanted and lacked any authority to reach a deal. So they just left. That’s where we are in our tariff negotiations. 🫠

The defense secretary is accused of dangerous incompetence by insiders. The homeland security secretary has her purse and $3000 nicked. The FBI director flies gov't air to visit an NHL game and his country-singing girlfriend. The supposed pretext for a security state is that it makes you safer

There's an analogy here between those mutual aid societies and means testing. Kludgy. Judgmental. Poorly resourced. A limited and often discriminatory view of "the people" or "the deserving." They can't scale.

This seems like a good way for Trump to get himself jailed DESPITE his massive grant of immunity in Trump v. US, since it can hardly be an official act of the president to openly defy an act of Congress like this.
