“Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” Given that Rubio just designated a bunch of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, will opposition to a U.S. war in Mexico also qualify you for disappearance by ICE?

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

I am a bit bemused by some replies to this. There appear to be quite a few joke-replies that seem to genuinely not understand this point and further, what is coming.

How are so many comments rushing to the defense of unnamed "grifters"? What would possess you to take such a stance? Some, most(?), are presumably real people. It's that peculiar Facebook-like behavior, and it's simply something I cannot wrap my mind around.

One of the reasons why the post-election discourse is so dire is because the root cause of Harris losing was inflation, but the Biden administration did everything right on inflation, and nobody is going to get a gold star for saying “we did things correctly and got screwed for doing it”.

This is bad, but also so dumb as to not mean anything. Take any subject, say a $1 tax to help make buildings more ADA accessible, people will not support until you convince them. You don't simply find your voters by the side of the road. You create them.

I can get my head around nominating some sycophants. But so many of these people are incapable of performing the job. So I guess the real question is: Who is picking them? Is this Trump picking names he remembers while his brains leak out of his ears? Or are there other voices in the room?

I keep seeing these takes, and they are all absolutely right. But all I can remember is--that's why Thiel killed Gawker. It had a fairly robust range and reach and they took it all out.

I saw many suggest 3rd party delivery. It must be my bubble as someone who has exclusively lived in NYC/Chicago, but I'm baffled. I *almost* get using grubhub for McD's--I'm not walking to one. However, if I lived in a place with my own car, I'm my own uber. What are the normies doing out here?

I found this wild in the opposite direction. Like when people actually meant "God talks" to them in prayer. Or in an English teacher meeting I was told "visualization" during reading literally meant that. What?! I can picture a car driving down the road, but why would I? I'm reading, not watching TV
