IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event.
The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

Judges won't save us. Law enforcement won't save us. Democrats won't save us.
We're in it now, folks.
One thing we have going for us is that we're the majority. It'll be up to the people to organize and unite and speak up.

We're doing these racists a big favor when we pretend their project is in any way based on actual grievance with modern DEI policy. They just want to promote the belief that no non-white person has ever been worthy of any praise or qualified for any honor or position

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

It seems to me the family’s objections to the GBI’s theory of this case are quite compelling, given what’s publicly known. www.11alive.com/article/news...
Twin brothers miss their flight to Boston, found dead 24 hours later in Georgia mountains
Qaadir and Nazir Lewis' bodies were found on Bell Mountain. Their family disputes GBI's initial murder-suicide ruling, insisting the twins wouldn’t hurt each other.
