State with so much bravado they called the Cowboys "America's team" and have a slogan "don't mess with Texas," to the DOJ:
Watch us bend over to our daddy.
Go right ahead.

Agree. Do it, Europe.
I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.
A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

If you want Democrats control of Congress, two simple rules, in order:
1) Do NOT primary Democrats in red/purple areas with socialists who'd have 0 chance to win a general election
2) Come the general election, vote.
Yes, even for the EstablishmentCorporateAIPACZionist Democrat.

How to say you don’t understand a thing about politics.
Out of the 7 Democrats, 6 are seeking re-election in swing districts, including several Trump won in 2024 & in Perez’s case, 3X.
1 vote isn’t worth losing the seat & it sure beats a Republican that will vote along party lines 90%+ of the time.🤦🏾♀️

Remember, during Covid: “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.”
The ravings of a madman. But I’m just worried, given this manic obsession with “fake” polls, whether he’s about to invade Polland. I’ll get my coat!

Vance: "Initially I was concerned that a 5-year-old had been detained by ICE. Then I was informed his dad was "illegal" and so now my position is fuck that little 5-year-old, he deserves it because he picked the wrong dad."
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.
New piece from me:

Trump’s ICE Goons Detained a 5-Year-Old. Then JD Vance Made It Worse.
Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

I understand why people dislike cops. But it's very important to recognize that ICE and DHS are not conducting themselves as cops. They are conducting themselves, at various moments, as an omnipresent secret police, and as a completely unaccountable invading army. Totally separate from policing.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.

Folks keep asking where Kamala is and why she isn't saving them.
Really, what they want is to keep blaming her for the voters' actions.
