The framers of the Constitution were, in fact, aware of murderers when they wrote the Bill of Rights. Murderers aren't new. They had them in the olden days too.

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur. Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.

In this interview on antisemitism with Bret Stephens (!), Chuck Schumer name checks Ilhan Omar, but does not mention the guy who is running the federal government, did a Sieg Heil on Inauguration Day and regularly spouts Great Replacement propaganda. This guy has got to go.

This is a media choice, but I also feel that Dems are doing little to shape the coverage. They are not pouncing en masse on these stories the way they are, say, veterans being let go from VA. Miller's bet is that they're snakebit and don't want to be tied to "controversial" defendants.

after seeing a clip of Taylor Tomlinson needing to be told Canadians had nickels and teased for bringing an outlet converter to Toronto, I am convinced new episodes of Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans could start filming again tomorrow and be a wild success despite the national travel boycott

To recap: Trump admin is firing Social Security employees; requiring beneficiaries to visit field offices in person instead of calling; and then saying any beneficiaries whose checks don’t come, and who therefore can’t pay the rent, must be fraudsters. Insane. And not what Americans voted for.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

REMEMBER: Schumer said that he couldn't risk a government shutdown, because, if the government shut down, Trump and Musk could fire whomever they wanted. Now the government is open and Trump and Musk are firing whomever they want.
