And this criminal is still in office because Republicans love crime.

can we take a moment to celebrate the magnificent economy of the phrase "dipshit sex pest failsons asking chatgpt to regurgitate a trade policy for them"

Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Attended the Hands Off protest in deep red Brenham, TX. Great turnout and lots of passerby support. Great time! #handsoff #protest

As a Californian — born and raised in the city limits of Los Angeles — who also spent a lot of time growing up in London, Brooklyn, and the DC metro, let me say that now that I live in New Hampshire, I fully appreciate how dipshit “liberal big city folk” are to people in small, rural “red” areas.

Huh, weird

Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.

Not for nothing, but you could run a game of D&D via filibuster. "Will the Senator yield for a question?" "I yield for a question without yielding the floor." "Can I shove the gargoyle?" "Roll for strength." "9". *17 minute description of the gargoyle not moving after being shoved*

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

What Booker's doing right now is useful, but only if you use it. Every call, office visit, demonstration, every voice raised right now carries added weight. You have criticisms of him? Join the club. But if that's what you're using this moment to voice, you're the one who's failing the moment.

Billionaires lately are like “won’t it be great when it’s just us and our money and you’re all dead?” And then they’re like “why don’t people like me?”

WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS HELP? YOU HAPPY GOP VOTERS?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Myth: DEI policies have been outlawed and force companies to hire unqualified candidates. Fact: DEI policies level the playing field and are still very much legal. Today, I'm co-leading a group of state AGs rolling out guidance for employers on DEI initiatives in the workplace.

Google has removed its pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance. They have been, and continue to be, on the wrong side of history.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people

Guess they gotta get bombs somewhere

The electric company was responsible for the Lahaina, HI fire as well. These for-profit corporations are not going to protect the public interest. We need much, much stricter oversight because it's only going to keep happening.

Fantastic article from 2021 about the people behind this "Sin of Empathy" stuff. Really great examination of the problems with this kind of theology and where it comes from. baptistnews.com/article/have...

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

The (horrific, abusive, abominable) prison for terrorism suspects that the GW Bush administration set up in Guantanamo maxed out at 680 detainees in May 2003. Color me skeptical there’s money, infrastructure, or even usable space for a 30,000 bed concentration camp.

This is straight out of Project 2025, by the way.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

The FIRST people they're going after are people who came here legally, following the laws. Because it's not about laws. It's about hate.

Business owners should also be aware that often allowing any non-employee into staff areas without a warrant violates their insurance policy. It's another way to refuse entry.
