it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Media & police commonly report that β€œspeed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much.

But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Trump Women's Month speech: "I didn't read-- I can't prepa-- if I prepare my speeches I won't time to get things done. You ever hear that? I cannot prepare. So I didn't know who the hell I was speaking to, but I walked in and I saw this beautiful woman with the blonde hair."

12 March 1940 | French Jewish boy, Marcel Holcblat, was born in Ares.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 28 August 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Q: Is there anything you can share about the Old Dominion shooting and the Michigan synagogue shooting?

TRUMP: Yes. Tragic *walks away*

Not part of this lawsuit, but this little shit was also part of the team that illegally took over the US Institute of Peace, fired its staff, stole its endowment, and gave its building away for free. Eagerly awaiting more lawsuits.

Look at this smug, arrogant little shit. This is like watching a library being burned down by a golem made of mayonnaise. We're letting spoiled toddlers dismantle civilisation.

In anti-Muslim post, Tuberville suggests New York’s Mamdani is β€˜the enemy’ The Alabama senator, who is running for governor, has previously called for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the United States.

It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.

Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

Trio named to replace Alina Habba as U.S. attorney is also serving illegally, judge says The decision comes amid a growing standoff over U.S. attorney appointments among all three branches of government.

A federal judge ruled that the DOJ lawyers who replaced Alina Habba at the New Jersey US attorney’s office have been serving unlawfully, writing that the Trump admin has "chafed at the limits of their power set forth by the law and the Constitution," which requires advice and consent of the Senate.

Live Updates: Suspect Is Killed in Attack on Michigan Synagogue

This is horrifying and heartbreaking. It’s impossible to fathom the evil of attempting to murder innocent people in a house of worship.

This kind of hatred and violence must be categorically condemnedβ€”ALWAYS.

My thoughts are with Temple Israel and the entire Jewish community on this tragic day.

It turns out "give the enemy even more things to shoot at in the hopes they don't shoot at all of it at once" isn't really a good strategy

Again, Republicans get to talk like this about cities & urban residents all the time, & it would NEVER be tolerated in the other direction, & we don't have to tolerate this anymore, either.

CT Jewish leaders denounce new rules for federal security grants Recipients of the nonprofit security grant will be prohibited from DEI programming, staging some boycotts or helping undocumented immigrants.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify
