Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

All it takes, for people who don't like guns, to stay away from the polls is knowing that a bunch of rage-filled people (who barely contain their rage in public), are carrying guns at the polls.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it once more. Whomever calls himself or herself a Christian is a Christian. There's no other way to tell.

So, the Chinese paid 10% on American goods and Americans pay 30% on Chinese goods. I don't know how much more of this winning we can take.

Kennedy: "Only very sick kids should die from measles." There should be no very sick kids for measles. That's what the vaccines are for.

Who are getting death threats in the fallout from that video of the racist white woman in Rochester, Minnesota endlessly calling a five-year-old kid the n-word? • Not the racist woman • The guy who took the video • The Black woman following the money We all know where the cruelty lies.

We're a long, long, long way from impeachment. The lawyers and the judges won't save us. We're nearly to the point where personal action is the only tool we have.

"The Pope is the world's most important American"? Seriously? He has little power but some inclination for good in the world. He has some inclination to preserve the awfulness of Catholicism in the world. Trump has no inclination for good and is seriously driven and has power to commit cruelty.

Well... yeah. Why not raise the price of cars to discourage the use of cars? (Yes, we know why — we aren't preparing and structuring life without cars. Our land use and transportation policies are firmly centered around the common use of cars by nearly everyone, around the ownership of cars)

So many of us appear to be hung up on this "hypocrisy is bad" thing. MAGA doesn't care about hypocrisy, like they literally don't care about morality or family values or liberty or rights. They only care about winning and beating down the opposition. That is literally all that matters to them.

"The Bell Curve" — that fuck Charles A. Murray got Sam Harris on his side 10 years ago, which made me finally realize Harris was riding the smooth-brain anti-woke wave. Murray promoted his ideas as if he was certain he was close to the final answer on genetics and "superiority".

Trump regime incompetence (because no one there values competence): "The White House is so fed up with the turmoil around Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth it will not permit him to name his own new chief of staff after his first one resigned last month"

Equal rights and equal opportunity are now far left. So be it — I'm far left. I apparently am now the opposite of cruel, which is what the far right Trump regime is.

Most of the awful people in the Trump regime are card-carrying Christians. Does this mean they do their awfulness despite their Christianity or because of it?

Up until now, politicians have always received polite deference from their opposition when they skirt the law during political exposition. Now, apparently, they don't. Independent journalists next.
