Another passage that I really love. #booksky
Republicans always come up with a solution in search of a problem.
Rep. Zach Nunn on voter ID: "It ensures we have fair elections, and that we know the results can be successful ... it helps to enfranchise the voter population"

Republicans want ICE agents to die for this very reason.
Ron Johnson on Alex Pretti: "They got their martyrs, didn't they? They got their martyrs. I think it's sick."

The halftime show felt like a mea culpa to the country, if not the world.

Won’t happen under this admin, but I’d vote for whoever promises to lock up the people who worked with Epstein after his initial conviction and confiscate their money. We’d wipe out so many billionaires overnight.

“Mega warehouses” for people. The media never runs out of euphemisms to downplay the horrors of the Trump administration.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.

ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.

DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Fourteen.

The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

One year into RFK Jr.’s tenure, and the results are clear: our public health system is weaker, Americans are less safe and less healthy, and science has been pushed aside. He must be impeached.

If Tesla were a car company, you’d almost have to be concerned about this kind of data. Luckily, Tesla is an AI and Robotics company now.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

This cracks me up because decades ago he would’ve called the halftime show a distraction from the game, a feminization of the NFL, and a way for women to encroach on men’s spaces.

Long story short, they just enjoy being miserable.
Absolutely delicious.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"
