On a basic sentence level, the first sentence voids every sentence after it.
"I don't know what a constitutional crisis would look like. I don't think that we are currently in a constitutional crisis, however," [Barrett] added. "I think our country remains committed to the rule of law. I think we have functioning courts."

Well, the first sentence is true.

The US regime is conducting ideological purges of the federal government, deleting entire agencies because they dared touch inconvenient topics, prosecuting political enemies..

and fools like Nate Silver are still complaining that LIBERALS are too close-minded and censorious????

What this signifies to me is that many self described Hispanics in Texas have ceded their identity while seeking the approval of white American culture.

You don’t exist but to support white supremacy. Your churches are how they nailed you to their cross. They counted on your religiosity.
Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes.

That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.

I just saw a Goth account praise ICE, and make racist comments about Latinos.

Motherfucker, you are a GOTH. There IS no goth today without Chicanos and Mexicans. They are almost single-handedly keeping it alive. That’s like being antisemitic but building your identity around Manishewitz.

Bernie repeatedly went on Lou Dobb's show and parroted xenophobic paleoconservative tropes on immigration and trade. That's not a cheap shot, that's a fact.

Important point here: they are not firing public officials to save money - personnel costs are relatively minor - they want to kneecap capacity so that these agencies struggle to spend money. Its a back door impoundment.
Wondering why all the administrators got fired yesterday?

It's so there will be nobody to issue awards or negotiate contracts to undermine Congressional authority to appropriate funds for research.

The federal government are illegally impounding the NIH budget & this serves that effort.
Trump and Musk are trying to block all NIH spending.

(Legal aside: so they’re admitting that regulations matter. That’s good.)

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

I never trust anything described as taco meat
Speaking of horrifying (?) ballpark food, have you seen the St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium Slinger Dog? It is an all-beef hot dog topped with hash browns, taco meat & two sunny-side-up fried eggs.

To fully support an administration that is dismantling DEI and stand there and watch everyday Americans lose their jobs and health benefits and suddenly turn around and care about a politician in a wheelchair is crazy work.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

She’s posing in front of MS13 gang members that were incarcerated by Bukele in a mass sweep of gang crime in El Salvador. Some, if not many, had been initiated in the United States and deported

Seriously -- he's broadcasting plans to violate state and federal election laws, in support of his quest to sway a state Supreme Court election.

Arrest him.

Yes, even though he's really rich.

Arrest him.
Elon’s coming to Wisconsin to hand out million dollar checks in his bribe scheme.

They should arrest him when he does.
This latest vote-buying scheme by Musk incredibly corrupt, at same time Tesla suing Wisconsin, and likely illegal

It is a felony in Wisconsin to offer, give, lend or promise to lend or give anything of value to induce a voter to cast a ballot or not vote.
