Is it the White House today, or the April 1962 edition of The National Eagle published by Portland’s leading white Christian Nationalist antisemite?
If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.
AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."
Something I've noticed is that it seems like there's been a lot more diarrhea going on ever since we put a Greater Avatar of Diarrhea in charge of federal health services

Todd Blanche briefly puts head in his hands after critical meeting with the two holdout senators who have the power to defeat his nomination, Lisa Murkowski and Bill Cassidy.
Their families waited for years to say goodbye, after they were killed in Israeli strikes during the early days of the war on the Gaza Strip. Their return marks a painful reminder of the human cost of war and the countless lives buried beneath its destruction.

trump is now deciding what you may or may not study if you need a federal student loan that will ultimately cost you infinitely more than your degree is worth
President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/81eEaAG
You can't make someone learn something that their job depends on them not knowing. Establishment Dems are never going to suddenly realize that left-wing policies win elections, because they are capitalists who would rather lose than give up the class system they're addicted to

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

So theyre selling it as if its 5 lbs more but its actually more like 5 lbs less. It might even be the exact same box, they just changed the label to say its more, charge more, and theres less in it. Fun times to be an American with no one operating the government except for personal enrichment.
hahahahaha "The judge hearing the antitrust case seeking to block the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger has scheduled the trial for March 2027. The scheduling matters a lot to Paramount, which will begin paying Warner Bros. shareholders $7 million a day on Sept. 30 until the deal is complete."

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
Okay, taking him entirely at his word: WHY ARE YOU LEAVING USED HYPODERMIC NEEDLES IN YOUR CHILD’S BEDROOM?
TAPPER: The story says when you were picked up for drunk driving, you have ecstasy in your system. When is last time you used illegal drugs? MILLER: I mean, the last time -- I don't know, several years ago? TAPPER: Two? 20? MILLER: This is testosterone replacement theory. Secretary Hegseth ...
I have a daughter. This is in an entire other galaxy from ANY of the things I would say or think in this situation.
Just a few days ago, Senator Moreno was asked if his daughter's alleged abuser should drop out, and he responded, "I don't know."
NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Just a few days ago, Senator Moreno was asked if his daughter's alleged abuser should drop out, and he responded, "I don't know."
Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
There are zero SUV drivers who know how to drive anything bigger than a roller skate
Not incidentally, sex ed and social media, two of the big things the Think of the Children crowd want to restrict children's access to, are the first place a lot of kids encounter the concept that a person with nominal authority over you doesn't get to touch you without permission
Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad

“If you take the deal, you’re going to be exploited. If you don’t take it, you’re going to die,” said attorney Frank Ssekamwa about the U.S. demand to access the health data of millions of Ugandans. “It’s the essence of digital colonialism.”

My kid is 23 so I don’t “use” the schools. My house isn’t on fire so I don’t “use” the fire department. Hell I have a personal policy about never calling the cops so I don’t “use” them either. And most importantly I definitely don’t “use” the tax breaks I fund for the wealthy.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
