It’s insane to me that people are still shocked that a career fraudster convicted felon’s main goal was to rob the US blind out of revenge as well as greed whilst sitting in the White House that he laced with tacky gold-plating and bulldozed for his ballroom. I hate him.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

There’s a cult of ignorance in the US and always has been.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

ok I would like to formally apologize to McBride again this is unambiguously a good quote and I don't think I've seen anyone condemn the center for *their* purity testing bullshit in such explicit and accessible terms before and that includes The Squad.
“The big tent goes both ways,” she said. “When we’re building a big tent, yes, it means welcoming people who are in the center or to the right of us. But it also means welcoming people who might be to the left. The center of our party has used purity politics to cancel or exclude progressives"

I dropped off Virginia Giuffre’s memoir for Speaker Johnson. If he actually reads it, maybe he’ll finally release the Epstein Files and stop covering for the powerful men who abused her.

Justice for Virginia and the hundreds of other victims is long overdue.

It’s a serious problem that our government can respond to this video and claim that we didn’t see what we all saw.

Of course Schumer is facing backlash - he deserves it. In the article, it ponders whether Schumer is “a liar” or “inept”. I’d argue that he’s both. And, oh my, it comes as no surprise to read that Hakeem Jeffries is defending his weak, useless colleague. Schumer must go. Jeffries can go too.

Worth noting that the U.S. has a specific law (the SPEECH Act) that means foreign libel judgments are unenforceable in U.S. courts.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon
