Republicans are the party of pander and pilfer. They don't want to govern, they want to rule.

Also, Abolish ICE.

This is incredible.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Yes, and what if your access to affordable healthcare was considered a right guaranteed to everyone by the government and not a bauble of certain types of employment or friggin club store membership? What then?
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

Eminently reasonable. Just cut 'em off and kick 'em out.
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

But don't call them racists
This is so racist it needs a new category of racism to describe it but it's also stupid and pointless. You simply cannot purge the celebration of Black people and their accomplishments from this country in favor of celebrations of a dying pedophile. It's literally not a thing he's capable of doing.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

The tragic murder of those guardsmen is becoming the pretext for something this administration has been pining for—ethnic cleansing, American style. lnk.thebulwark.com/48EQjzA
For Trump, Even the National Guard Shooting Is About Immigration
And he won’t let the facts get in the way of his agenda.

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Elon Musk's AI bot says it would kill every Jewish person on earth to save Elon Musk.

We talk so much about antisemitism, but somehow it's not considered antisemitic to use Elon Musk's apps.

People on board the boat were said to have survived an initial strike and were killed in a follow-up attack. Officials said the boat appeared to have turned back toward shore. Three sources, including Sen. Rand Paul said the boat was attacked by one or more drones.

Now we know why Hegseth fired so many of the miliary attorneys.
“Murder, war crimes, or both.”

A working group of former JAG attorneys says the Hegseth/Trump Caribbean boat bombings are precisely the kind of illegal orders the military has a duty to disobey and can be prosecuted for following. www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Bash: "The military launched a second strike to kill anyone who [survived]. These individuals were unarmed and already injured from the original attack. Are you comfortable with that?"

Sen. Mullin: "I don't know if I believe that at all…I don't think the story is accurate."

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

This reminded me of a story I heard about Nader’s fight with General Motors and had to look it up to see if I was remembering it correctly.

I did remember correctly. GM tried to trap him with sex workers and he didn’t take the bait.
