AOC yeah yeah…. But how are we talking about current events in the 2030s when, just yesterday, we were partying like it was 1999?!!
The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

If Rubio gave a speech to Europe in 1941, he wouldn’t mention that the Germans invaded France.
In a speech at the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Rubio emphasized the importance of cooperation between Europe and the United States. In a conciliatory tone, he spoke about the shared history of the US and Europe and how transatlantic values were born.

I think the PM and the party leaders flying together to Tumbler Ridge is an important, vital gesture of unity and solidarity, but I think it can also speak to seriousness — to not accepting what happened on Tuesday and to realising it's something that demands a response.

not putting Zohran in the center here is… a choice
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.
