>"We are the federal law"
If any GOP congresscritter still had a functioning spine, this would be an incendiary statement, but I'm not holding my breath.

Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of pickups driving around in the last four years emblazoned with graphic images of Joe Biden in various states of imprisonment and/or torture, and I guarantee none of them got letters from the DoJ.

I’m so tired of this “commander-in-chief” bullshit.
I’m not in the military. I don’t have a fucking commander-in-chief. I have a president.

Every single one of these people has run an ad, or sent a mailer, or made a claim in a debate that they are a “Christian” and their opponent lacks “family values.”
Assholes, the lot of them.

For the love of all that's holy, can someone please Joe Crowley this no-talent ass clown?

The GOAT order at Cane’s is a box combo with a 2nd sauce instead of the Cole slaw.

We could have had a public option if Joe Lieberman had taken the hint when he lost the primary and just gone away instead of mounting a 3rd party run just to ensure he could ruin the ACA.

I’d try that last one based on the name alone.

Closest one is about 500 miles from me, so I’ve never had the pleasure. Next trip to the south, though…

There’s a very large percentage of the population who will only notice that something is amiss when the 2028 presidential elections are cancelled.

Mechanically? Absolutely. It's just a gravity-powered wedge, when you get right down to it.

A one-sided presentation of the evidence?
You mean like literally every grand jury in the history of the United States?

That ship probably sailed. It doesn't take long to plug in another box and copy over a few TB of data.
By the time the court weighed in, the damage was probably done.

The last three weeks have just made it infinitely more infuriating that Joe Biden couldn’t forgive some student debt.
It’s pretty clear that only Republican presidents are allowed to wield unchecked power.

I can just imagine the conversation in his office before this:
Intern 1: “Everyone knows what a ‘bait and switch’ is. we don’t need the fishhook.”
Intern 2: “We’re the bulwark. We’re the watchers on the rim. No monarchy on our watch!”
Intern 1: “You’re right. The fishhook stays.”

This might be the dumbest heuristic I've ever seen.

As long as it only takes one phone call from Elon to get the security staff blocking access to classified areas to step aside and let the DOGE teenagers in, these are just words on a page.

Maybe it's time for you to go block the doorway at the Department of Education to prevent Elon's high schoolers from stealing all of our data.

For someone who has been a US Senator since, apparently, the Triassic period, Chuck Schumer is really, really bad at politics.

It’s a pretty short list of elected officials who can bring the righteous fury like Liz Warren, and this is good. But it’s not enough. It has to be just the beginning of something more.
Still, I’m thankful she’s my Senator.

Come on, it's not that bad. It's not like Elon is trying to make people who sell guns register as [*checks notes*] firearms sellers. If this were that bad, Thom Tillis would never stand for it!

Late '02 through Summer '03 comes to mind.
But that was a different type of uselessness. It was more "active collaboration" whereas this is more "resigned to impotence."

What in the actual fuck are Shaheen and Hassan thinking? They’re now 7 of 8 on voting for Trump’s nominees.
I get that New Hampshire is New England’s Florida, but it’s still New England! This is bonkers!

Truck Day.
Oh, Glorious Truck Day!
In the name of Jerry Remy,
We honor thy transport.
Amen.

Save us from the NBA, NHL, and podcasts on ESPN.
Harden us to the Kelce brothers,
And their consumption of all we hold dear.
Harken to the day when Pitchers and Catchers report.

She and Hassan both voted for all of Trumps nominees (minus Hegseth).
I’m so confused. Do they they they’re representing Alabama?

Go to Treasury! Go to USAID! Confront his goons. Bring cameras. Bring the press. Bring Ron Wyden and AOC and Maxwell Frost and anyone else who is interested in actually being a leader. Make a grand show of fighting back!
Ever hear an athlete say "leave it all out on the field?" This is that moment.

How about "on the basis of whatever program for which some reply guy on twitter tells Elon he should stop payment?"
