Never seen a more pro-corruption, anti-consumer, pro-difficulty regime in the US. They actually seek out the things with 100% public support and gut those, especially when started by Obama or Biden

I'm assuming this is not the first "Royals face decision on India" headline the Times has ever run, though perhaps the first in about 80 years

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.

Jeffrey Epstein said that Trump “knew about the girls.” Was he referring to the 1921 Edna Ferber novel by that name? We may never know.

And while you can get to something close to objective truth by taking the average of several different subjective, biased, attempts to tell ths truth, you can't get there by taking the average of truth and falsehood.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.

He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.

He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.

It’s enraging.

This is shaping up to be a spectacular night for Democrats. Still. a long way to go, but hard to find a bright spot the GOP can count on at this moment.

When rich people get help from the government they call it a subsidy, bailout, loophole, or tax break or incentive.

When poor people get help from the government they call it free stuff, a hand out, socialism, or communism.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR
