The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

JD Vance argued not too long ago that American Christians should prioritize people they know over strangers and it's OK to just leave the church, dude
Gosh think how quickly you could beat Pete Hesgeth in a game of Risk.
‘There is no difference between the parties’ is frankly one of the more blinkering articles of faith a lot of people hold. If you believed it, you couldn’t really believe Trump was gonna do what he was obviously gonna do

He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)

that levitt simply ignored the question is entirely leavitt's fault, and the administration can correct this record any time they feel like it, no one is under any obligation to be charitable to them
you ever think how this is all because america elected a centre-left black president once, and the right never forgave the left for it
A blocked order still signals intent, keeps an issue salient, and produces months of political conflict. The performance of executive overreach, and the consequences that come with it, may be a feature of policymaking here, not a bug.
A series of Bluesky posts all exclaiming how ridiculous Kyle Schwarber is.
WELCOME BACK, BASEBALL.
Something that speaks to a sudden decline in our society is the amount of people I’ve seen lately approaching stop signs and then going right through them like “nope, don’t believe in this anymore!”
I do think this is a far-reaching phenomenon impacting everything from moral laws to traffic laws—when the system isn’t working for people and is actually fucking them over constantly, they rely on small acts of protest against it to retain their dignity, even if those acts are grossly misdirected.

I am burnt out, overstimulated, and have been carrying emotional loads for YEARS that no one’s ever helped me hold.. I’M TIRED.
John Fugelsang takes it to a Trump supporter...

Not the racism, not Epstein, not the election lies... This one.

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout.
No fucking Nazi shit. Period.
we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping
“If you believe in bodily autonomy you have to accept vaccine deniers.”
