genuinely baffling how many Dems continue to behave as if anyone in this administration will follow the law in any capacity

look at fucking Rubio, you’re all going to be making public mea culpas on this vote within a week

save yourselves the trouble and vote no on every single thing
The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.

Yeah, this is a perennial truth -- landmark struggles over free speech typically involve people who are saying and doing things that are *unpopular*

That's, uh, why they need the protection of the First Amendment. It's sort of the whole point.
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Public health experts and scientists say RFK could do "infinite" damage if he's appointed to lead HHS. It's not just vaccines or fluoride: it's Medicaid and Medicare funding, drug development, cancer research, funding for Indian Health Service... it's endless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “a genuine catastrophe.”
As Secretary of Health and Human Services, the “damage he could do is near infinite.”

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
