Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.
What a racist piece of shit.

Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

The NYT and the Washington Post are simply ignoring the rapidly growing constitutional crisis in the White House. Almost nothing in their news coverage or opinion sections. They are as culpable as anyone in this.

AOC and Mamdani not backing a primary challenge to Jeffries is fine, actually.
It’s transactional, sure. But Jeffries did ultimately come around and endorse.
IMHO throwing a primary challenge at him now sends a message: Even if you do come around, we may still come after you.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Counterpoint: Fallows and the other apologists are full of shit. Sen Whitehouse can shovel his kumbaya bullshit but it's laughable to think Democrats standing down now will somehow energize voters next year.
James Fallows is good on this.

Trump is singularly awful, but America's moral collapse is being perpetrated not by Trump by the Republican Party, who have shirked or sabotaged every Constitutional protection that would have prevented this. Yes, Trump must go, but his moral cancer has already metastasized across the GOP.

The mainstream media will never acknowledge that the right ultimately wants the worst for America and this the motivation for their actions. In short, mainstream press won’t tell the truth.

The DOJ is suing California over Prop 50, saying it's a "brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process."
Nothing mocks democracy like a president ordering red states to gerrymander while prosecuting a blue state for letting its voters decide.

Republicans refusal to uphold the Constitution is not a small problem. Trump is singularly awful, but we could not have fallen this far this fast without the acquiescence and cooperation of elected congressional Republicans who have bypassed or shirked every Constitutional safeguard.
Jesus. I mean even the Senatorial class under Augustus made more of an attempt to defend their sense of dignity and the Roman legal structure than this.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
