Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

This is a developing story that should not be allowed to just keep developing in LA where it is happening or in Chicago or in Portland or in anywhere!

If it’s Maria’s Italian Kitchen, it’s like Olive Garden, but maybe slightly better ingredients

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Terry Moran didn’t say, “I hate Stephen Miller and Donald Trump.” He said Stephen Miller and Donald Trump are full of hate. That is not a lie or a deranged tirade. I don’t think you need to be an investigative journalist to see that.

So many of these problems would be solved if these people could read.

Trump on “Truth Social”: “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump tonight: “I brought back free speech in America. It’s back.”

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore WASHINGTON—Addressing the ongoing outbreak in Texas that has infected at least 124 state residents and killed one child, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

So over men speaking with authority on things they haven’t read and know nothing about.

I think we tried that already. That’s why we have regulations.
