Ah yes, who could forget the obvious distinction between being an antisemite and "creating the feeling of safe harbor for far-right elements who unabashedly or in coded language express antisemitic sentiments"

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries.
We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district.
Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting.

The Army Corps of Engineers knowingly wasted 2.5 billion gallons of precious California water under instructions from the White House to take a photo and send it to Trump for a social media post.
They knew the LA wildfires had already been contained and the water would not go to Los Angeles.

$200M in taxpayer dollars for a “Thank Me” ad campaign?
This isn’t government
it’s a reality show with a bad budget.
Imagine funding schools, healthcare, or, you know…actual governance.
Oh wait they cancelled all those things…

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous.
Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

Here we go. The budget fight is THE big legislative fight. Here's a brief overview -- Trump has been running around with his executive orders and Musk has been running from department to department making illegal cuts and closures. The vast majority of that has been to serve THIS (cont'd)
House Budget formally announces budget resolution markup on Thursday.
We have yet to see the House's budget resolution, but it's probably safe to say it will have different reconciliation instructions than the Senate budget.
