Trump says that HBCUs would be "all be out of business" if fewer Chinese students were allowed to go to American universities

He’s….not thinking this through.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Thanks a lot for folding, @kaine.senate.gov—you are one hell of a disappointment. I never thought my own senator would vote against Virginia voters’ wishes. And after that beautiful blue sweep on Tuesday, too. You let us down big time.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

He said: "Prices are down under Trump.'

Me: "It is quite literally false. There's not a single way you can interpret a word that the man's saying..as being remotely reflective of either what we're seeing in data from all across the country or in people's everyday lives."

🚨This 16 year old was living a normal life until this administration took over the country. ICE is the enemy of humanity, decency, integrity, and all that used to represent this country. Meanwhile, Trump is building a private army, one that will be more ruthless and violent. 1/2

This best of Canadians, whom everybody should follow for wit, insight, and A-level Philosophical Snark, is exercising unwonted censorship to avoid learning that an Edmund Fitzgerald is a kind of incubator for Gordon Lightfoot.
The heck is an ‘Edmund Fitzgerald’?!

Quite interested to see this, but I can't get into the UK without the U.S. locking the door behind me.

I have, to console myself, turned a blank wall in my office into a Ninja exhibit.

If you can't see it, I can't help you; that would be the point.

Whoa. Pam Keith just agreed with Trump about insurance companies…
I double dog dare ANYONE to give me one legitimate reason why we need health insurance companies.

Besides making money for themselves and frustrating the shit out of needy people, what actual necessary service do they provide?

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.
