conditioning disaster aid that californians have paid into simply to force policies on californians who don’t want them is as straightforward an abrogation of the spirit of the union as one can imagine and red states had better be prepared to accept retributions in kind

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

I am at a loss for words on why this man thinks this is ok in any sense. How did white America become just drowning in the idea that the House minority leader's job, during an active government takeover, should be to get arrested? His job is exactly wtf he has been doing. YOUR job is in the streets.

I respect that she has all the smoke for republicans and doesn't attack her Democratic colleagues. I may not always like her, but I respect the hell out of what she's doing now. And for going all in for Kamala, which was a wonderful surprise.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.
