I believe you meant to say "fact-based media company," which is how NYT describes itself since Jill Abramson--the last competent Executive Editor to work there--was fired in 2014.

That, at least, is accurate.

ICE is staying at this hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Instead of screaming at them, we tried serenading them with encouragement to defect and lay down their weapons. #singingresistance

I believe all the EU countries collaborate with the FBI through Europol's Human Trafficking Unit in coordination with member states.

Prosecution is the responsibility of individual member states.

There is no statute of limitations for sex-trafficking or related financial crimes.

To be fair, his crackpot eternal youth bullshit has been getting the full on Charlatan Whitewashing Treatment from "serious" media for some time. For similar examples, see: DJT 2016

Your statement is complete and total bullshit.

Furthermore "you know exactly what I was saying" Disqualifying aggressive bullying.

Also, gimme that crystal ball-- I want to play the lottery.

MAGA thanks you for your service.

Yeah, "aggressive" how?

No more #abracadabrapolitics

Why bother wasting political capital when the Senate would be sending the bill back to the House anyway? Instead, he helped the most vulnerable reps in his caucus.

Now let's see what happens on Monday, when Congress is back in session.

You want Dems to look just as dysfunctional as GOP? smdh

Also the coverage was very unfair: the chaos that got so much attention was entirely the fault of Afghan "government" in charge of the airport, logistics etc, not the US.

This is performative opposition. It's the same as replacing Bovino with Homan: an empty gesture designed to quell dissent among voters. That's all this is. He's still propping up fascism.

Until he QUITS GOP in order to give the gavel to the democracy party, I call bullshit.
February 1, 2026 at 1:04 PM
What spine? He's still propping up the GOP majority.

Until he and two other senators QUIT GOP their words are just, literally, "talking out of both sides of their mouth".

What it looks like is a vast, decades-long, multibillion-dollar international sex-trafficking criminal enterprise run by Epstein and the Trump Modeling Agency.

This regime is a murder for hire conspiracy: the killing, the disappearing, the illegal detentions and renditions: all for the GRIFT.

Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t.

While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

My kid walked out at school today with a third of their classmates, and when I asked if they thought they'd get in trouble they rolled their eyes and said "What's the school gonna do? Suspend all of us?"

But, oddly, *not* following the Nazi playbook in this regard: first murder the political, state and media opposition; *then* murder the populace.

Doing it the other way around! How do you explain that?

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

NEVER FORGET: ICE brutality, abductions and disappearing people, ripping up treaties, Nazi/Confederacy cosplay, invading other countries, concentration camps, murder in Minneapolis and the Caribbean, ALL THAT is for one goal: no more elections, stay in power forever.

FOR THE GRIFT.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

Wut? If there’s one thing everyone can do in this city it’s eat well on any budget. The BedStuy YMCA is a CSA pickup location. Patel Brothers. Chinatown x 2. Arthur Ave. Park Slope Food Coop. A million high-end supermarkets even before you get to multiple Eataly & WFM locations. Just…huh?

Movement messaging and getting legislation passed are two completely different things.

Activism takes place outside government and sets expectations; MOCs scratch and claw to move the ball forward one bill at a time, inch by inch.

E.g:

1935: Social Security
1965: Medicare
2010: ACA

Or is the whole story, now and to the end of time.

It's almost like they have no idea how democratic government works.

These words demand attention.

“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock
