This isn't actually funny at all; it's a window into Trump's worldview, because he absolutely expected any German official to be upset over the Nazis losing. Because if Trump were German, he would be. Because things like "they were fucking Nazis" are way less important to him than "on my team"

Okay, all jokes and schadenfreude aside, Trump would be an idiot (yes, I know) to not fire every single one of these guys immediately. However you feel about them, none of them are Trump allies; they literally all work for Elon.

A window into the actions of ICE in NYC. People go into a building. Their friends and loved ones wait outside, not know if they will be taken or not. When they are taken, it's agony.

Hell yes, this is the way! Defend trans rights loudly and proudly. It's the right thing to do, and if you can't figure out how to win elections while standing up for kids, then I don't know what to tell you.

Ah. So, all the attacks on Harvard are supposedly about stopping antisemitism on campus... but they need to hire a holocaust denier in the name of "diversity of viewpoints." Got it.

The Third Way type people seem to be advocating for a sort of anti-Trump Republican-lite, which is baffling considering how unsuccessful people like Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney have been. There's no broad appeal there. People on the left don't want it, and neither do people on the right.

My cousin's dad was Puerto Rican (in other words, she's a citizen, descended from citizens). She was recently pulled over for some minor violation, and the officer warned her that she should always be carrying a passport to prove her citizenship. He wasn't giving her trouble, but the next one might.

This is dumb. Whatever positions this think tank lands on, Republicans will just lie and fearmonger anyway. Most voters are not reading policy papers and making rational decisions. Democrats need better messaging, not a different platform.

The Medicaid cuts are going to increase healthcare costs for everyone. People who are uninsured skip routine and preventative care and end up more often in the ER, the most expensive way to receive care. Those costs are passed on to insured patients.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
