Bernie? Public sector unions? Pro-social security lobby? Institute for Policy Studies? Did none of these people give even a second of thought to the implications this bill would have for other policy priorities? C'mon.
About 1 in 3 U.S. adults say they’ve made trade-offs to afford health care in the past year, including rationing or skipping medications or borrowing money, according to a new poll.
Is it normal for the president of the United States to pathetically plead for the nations of the world to come bail him out of the disaster he created entirely on his own?
Trump two weeks ago: woooooo!!! America!!! yeah!!!
Trump today: hopefully China, France, Japan, others will be sending ships..
This move against state bars is of a piece with the administration’s broader strategy against universities, the media and law firms — any organization capable of challenging the president’s power. And few things threaten it more than holding it to the the truth. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Cool for him to admit on the record they are officially making CNN state TV.
I think forgiveness is a very valuable and important thing that society should do more of, but forgiveness in the moral and spiritual sense requires you to fully admit what you did wrong and fully accept consequences for it
I have a feeling that in 2028/29 there is going to be a big push among the biggest chucklefucks and professional wreckers in the American media to talk about forgiveness and reconciliation and it's very important that whoever comes after Trump does not listen to them
these people are destroying my country if not the world. we're not gonna be able to fix that in 4/8 years. but ensuring it never happens again? yeah we can -must!- do that.
raise taxes on the rich, absolutely. But we should use it to
-build out green energy and transportation
-build more low income housing
-fund universal healthcare
-fund universal childcare
all of these are more important than cutting taxes
Great point: Governor Polis' concerns about how Tina Peters is being treated are just quite hypocritical given his record.
BREAKING: The Florida Senate passed a version of the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship to register and remain on the state's voter rolls.
The amended bill, which would go into effect in 2027, now returns to the House for a vote before heading to Gov. Ron DeSantis for a signature.
Utah authorities arrested a man because he had dried pinto beans. They thought it was drugs. By the time they realized it was beans, they dropped charges, but it was too late: ICE had found and detained him.
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."

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
Showing this to myself in 2022 and having an aneurysm
Sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner with a knife on camera is apparently legal in Israel
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"
they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.
Soo... why did you vote in favor of honoring a white supremecist?
are you interested in other places for their own sake, not just as an extension of America? congratulations, you are already ahead of the majority of DC think tanks.
voiding the federal gas tax does not reduce human suffering! it just means you need to raise the money needed to repair and build our roads from other sources instead! bsky.app/profile/scal...
democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks
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.
