I’m reading this at 2 AM and so far it’s the dumbest thing I’ve read today and if we’re at all lucky it remains the dumbest thing all day, but I doubt it.
The EEOC said it is investigating allegations Nike’s DEI goals led to discrimination against white workers.

“The official story—promulgated by Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller and JD Vance—was a lie. They are lying to you. They're lying to us. They know it. And in fact, they seem proud of it,” says Chris Hayes on JD Vance saying he won’t apologize for labeling Alex Pretti an “assassin.”

Questions about child rape and pedophile sex trafficking rings should be fun, right? Why wouldn't you smile while you're talking about victims? Don't be one of those of those angry liberal women, smile sweetly and be sure to fix your hair and makeup.
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.

Abolish ICE or GTFO.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE
Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country
Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed
We must rein in ICE
Here’s what we're demanding:

Thoughts:
• Much of this is already mandated by law and DHS policy and is being ignored.
• No additional enforcement mechanisms or consequences for its lack are included.
• Ending the MN surge and removing Kristi Noem are noted as things Trump can do, not demands.
• Stephen Miller is not mentioned.

But the more I think about it, it needs to be something funky that you can really sing and dance along with, so maybe something from Prince.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

This is the same guy who convinced Nick Shirley to come to Minnesota and "investigate" the daycare centers. He's the main guy in the video with Shirley and is a known crackpot in Minnesota political circles.
a Republican witness in the GOP's "Somali Scammers" hearing details how he drives by childcare centers and looks at how many footprints in the snow there are to determine how many kids are there. Psycho stuff.

The 2020 election was RIGGED! I won by a lot. It was all run by Madero and the communist in Cuba and Puerto Rico who were paid by Soros at the behest of the Clintons and Barack Hussein Obama.
Breaking Reuters:
A team working for Tulsi Gabbard last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines.
The goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico.
The probe did not produce any clear evidence of interference.
