Mike Johnson: "I think the midterm is gonna be a great one for us. We have a very favorable election map on the Republican side and it will be even more favorable once all the redistricting, uh, stuff has settled out."

At 23k (and counting) allerede har likt denne posten på insta er vel egentlig all bekreftelsen som trengs på at tyngdepunktet til Debatten var i total ubalanse, og at programlederen var blitt for stort for programmet. Et debattprogram skal ikke handle om programlederen, men om det som debatteres.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

There's a real issue with definitions and terminology when it comes to "left-wing." What gets classified as left-wing sort of ranges from authoritarian communism to movements fighting colonialism to environmentalist and animal protection groups to anarchists.

Why push this connection? Because it's strategic to make autism seem preventable. If it's preventable, then responsibility for prevention falls to moms. And if that responsibility is moms', then society doesn't need to spend public resources supporting autistic people and their families.

Creepy and deranged things sound even more creepy and deranged when they’re said by Stephen Miller. In a Trump Cult filled with the most thoroughly horrible people imaginable, he somehow takes being utterly reprehensible to a whole other level.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America … As we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

A complete collapse of political norms around virtue and ethics since 2016. This celebration of cruelty and violence, and the encouragement of the public to take joy in violence against others, is very unhealthy for society.

Politiet konstruerer de merkeligste setninger for å slippe å skrive at en bilist gjorde noe galt. Unnskyldning for å stikke av i neste setning.

Trump’s FBI Raid of John Bolton’s Home Looks Like a “Five Alarm Fire”
Thus far little is known about Friday’s law enforcement action against a top Trump critic. But we’re seeing an escalation of authoritarian power on many fronts that has grown unmistakable.

Huh. I don't remember the federal government asking me what flavor of "white" I am before. This list of what are I think meant to be ethnicities also seems really arbitrary, and doesn't map out onto ethnicities per se. (This is for an NSF annual personnel report for a graduate training program.)
