i've been thinking about this for a few weeks, and i really think that (1) after Trump, the Times freaked out believing they had lost touch with middle America, and (2) attempting to correct course, they lost touch with liberal America, too.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This is guaranteed to happen. And they will post a "TRUMP SAVED YOUR SNAP BENEFITS" message when you log on to the site.
Mark this down:
On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.

Eviction By ICE?
Federal immigration agents appear to have targeted Chicago tenants in “deliberate and systematic ways.” They’re still searching for answers about their landlord’s role in the raid.

Honestly, I think the 2024 election was basically viewed as a referendum on public morality by elites and therefore nobody is ever going to apologize for anything ever again no matter how heinous because the American people have spoken.
yeah it is not “liberal censoriousness” to think that you shouldn’t nominate the guy without the sense to not get a nazi tattoo and then not remove it

in the Dems underperform next year, we can dust-off our Diebold conspiracy theories from 2004!
I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.
Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

“The University of Miami School of Law’s new essay requires applicants to submit a detailed prompt for a generative AI large language model like ChatGPT to generate a ‘comprehensive analysis’ that will help them make an informed decision about which law school to attend.”
For these law school application essays, AI is required
Using artificial intelligence for admissions essays is often discouraged or prohibited. For aspiring attorneys hoping to land a seat at two U.S. law schools next fall, it's an opportunity to stand out from the crowd.

They don't want Dem votes because they need them to keep going on a tyrannical crime spree. It's because they're useful to pretend it's all normal and legal, that it's something other than a tyrannical crime spree. They want the appearance of legitimacy. Nothing is worth giving that to them.
