A lot of the people happy about this comment are apparently fine with saying John Fetterman voting with the GOP = "the two parties are a uniparty."

By all means, give it to them with both barrels when they do "we're in it, now, ergo we must vote for it", but saying it now only hurts the point.

"Tried to shoot the officers" is false. At no point did he draw or reach for the gun that was in his rear waistband.

Video shows the agent in the gray sweater removing the gun while he is in the fetal position, hands covering his face. Immediately after, he is shot in the back. Then they mag dump.

Are people killed by immigrants the ONLY murder victims whose lives matter?

That's an extremely short list in a nation as large as ours.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him

Yup. If I thought I was about to be run over by a 3000-lb vehicle, my survival instinct would be to get out of the way. A few 7-9 gram bullets are going to do fuck all to the momentum of the vehicle.

A vehicle bearing down on a parade with ill intent, and at range, sure. This is decidedly not that.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Proud to be an American today!

It mimics his style but is at a significantly higher reading level and includes idioms and phrases that Trump doesn't use. Also, a post of this length should be expected to have more errors (e.g., "I one" for "I won").

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Danielle Allen fails the Lando test / lives out the Arrested Development meme: "A deal on the core principles in a compact could then become a framework for negotiating on legislation." Come ON. With this administration and this Congress?

Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.
