As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at the start of his term in modern American political history. Don't let anyone talk to you about a mandate. Don't let anyone talk to you about there being support for his agenda. Don't let anyone tell you that anything about this presidency is normal.

Despite its substantial-sounding name, the Electoral College isn’t a permanent body: It’s more of a process. For decades, a majority of Americans have wanted it to be changed.

Who could have predicted that the man who set up electric car charging stations that were sneakily powered by diesel fuel might also set up a GOTV door-knocking operation where doors don't really get knocked on? (2022 article by @niedermeyer.io for historical reference)

There are actual, good reasons to believe that Trump, who was definitely always going to lose the popular vote by millions and millions, may just have cost himself the Electoral Vote by hosting a Nazi Open Mic Night at Madison Square Garden as a premature victory lap.

The Constitution makes ONE simple demand of officeholders. Like instructing Adam & Eve to lay off the fruit, the Framers said, "you may want a fancy European title but the nation's integrity demands you refuse." Alito just ignored the Constitution's command.

Have any of the articles about Biden's "garbage" comment mentioned that this speaker at Trump's racist NYC rally called the entire Democratic Party a bunch of degenerates, lowlifes, and Jew haters? Has Trump been asked about it?

9 million views for this tweet, which claims to show a Canadian being given a ballot to vote in the US election, which is illegal. The only problem is that exact same ballot was posted two weeks ago by an actual American voter who voted early in Florida.
