I think we've just discovered who besides Trump's kids has been smuggling fentanyl across the Canadian border.

A little over 3 million people worked for the federal government when Trump took over in January. You can't decimate the federal workforce in February and expect the jobs number to be anything but catastrophic.

My colleagues and I have a new chapter in the just-published American Jewish Year Book 2023: "Using Denominational Identity to Understand Jewish Engagement." Sorry about the paywall, but if you need a copy, you probably already know how to reach me. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

I don't understand why anyone would buy a Deplorean in the first place, but then to opt for upgrades like these?

Or, given that every accusation from this fascist is a confession, he's hoping to rig some elections, not necessarily win them.

It's the people he sent to take a wrecking ball to Social Security. They're definitely committing fraud.

It's time for a Free America movement, much like De Gaulle led in exile during the Nazi occupation of France. Free America from this hostile takeover of our government; from the broligarchy stealing our money and destroying our lives; from Russian rule.

Given that Elon Musk seems to be doing all the horrible things fascists like to accuse George Soros of, it stands to reason...

As we head toward a presidential address tonight in which it is very possible that the Big Lie is spread once again, another reminder: false claims about voter fraud are rooted in historical racism, and serve as racist dog-whistles today papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

MAGA by now really does talk about Canada the way Putin talked about Ukraine. This is getting very dangerous.

This is what I am talking about when I say that Democrats need to lead. Every single district! Speak to the people about what is happening.

jesus fucking christ, man, it gets really tired noting this kind of thing, but "[veterans] aren't fit to have a job or aren't willing to come to work" is the kind of headline that should absolutely destroy a fucking administration and would, if that administration were led by a democrat

When many write off caring about people getting COVID and wearing a mask as “virtue signaling,” it just shows how cut off we have become as a country. Caring for others’ safety and health is a good thing. We need each other to survive. Community love and support is a necessity for the human race.

Yeah, but don't worry -- Canada will have to pay that extra 25%, not American consumers. Just like Mexico was going to pay for the wall, right?

Elise Stefanik would also like you to know that if Trump had been president, the pandemic, which didn't happen, wouldn't have happened. And if it had, it wouldn't have been that bad. And if it was, it wouldn't have been a big deal. www.jta.org/2025/03/03/p...

The treatment derived from Harrison's plasma wasn't available when my parents were kids. By the time I was born, it was, because funding was available for all the necessary trials to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Millions of lives have been saved.

With the added benefit (if you have any principles) that Gingrich didn't give a damn about the accuracy of his accusations, but nearly all the accusations against Trump are going to turn out to be true.

When Trump sends his people, he's not sending the best. He's sending people with problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And not even one is a good person.

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.
