Socially liberal, fiscally conservative. I believe the greatest ROI for society is free health care, free or low cost education, and living wages. In the long run, it makes for a very happy and productive society.

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

A pretty good description of when, where, and how military operations are conducted on international waters.

I saw this ad today, and I think it’s effective on exactly the people who didn’t need to see it.

People signing up for ICE are not the ones with good empathy, strong integrity, and actual family values. They’re the racists, bigots, and assholes who can lie to anyone — including their own children.
🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

I would love to know why.
If Republicans want America to be a Christian nation, why don’t they want to feed the hungry, heal the sick, help the poor, pay their fair share of taxes, and be faithful stewards of the environment?

Just about every Pres Orange Whinybitch imposed, has resulted in a “deal” that brought the US back to where it was or worst. Now he’ll propose a “deal” to congress to reinstate the ACA tax credits, which is back to where we were, and take credit for “fixing” healthcare. 😵‍💫

Long informative thread on conservative whitewashing of the American Revolution, just in time for Independence Day.
As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").

There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

It’s great that so many republicans found a conscious and voted for the release of the Epstein files. But to the best of my knowledge, Pam Bondi can still hold on to them as an on going investigation and not release them.

Maybe we get a vote on the Epstein files at the cost of health insurance.

The leaders we have now were wrought in times created by the New Deal and pre-Reagan prosperity.

They’re too soft from an easy life to consider fighting for that very same reasonably good life.

We need leaders forged differently than Schumer, Thune, and ilk.

Leaders not soft with privilege.
