This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line.
If you make a mistake on your ballot, request a new one.
If the machines are down at your polling place, request a paper ballot.

If you have any problems, you can call or text the Election Protection Hotline for support.

This thread makes a point I find myself coming to often these days.

It's hard to make this point in a way that doesn't sound like a threat, but it's just a fact that for centuries the wealthy in America worried that the mob would come get them and did all they could to avoid that fate.
lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

There are at least 170 incidents where ICE held US citizens against their will.
This includes 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

As expected, the first 9 compacts were a trial run.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

I get a lot of joy out of being a compassionate professor. Helping students improve their writing and knowledge is a blessing. My classrooms are happy, fun, at times serious, intense, respectful places of learning. The right will never understand, because for us, teaching is a form of love, not hate

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat:

✅ they had no idea where it was going
✅ they had no idea who was on it
✅ they had no established authority to act
✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it

Everyone involved should rot in prison forever

@roysj.bsky.social Saw your column. I had mine out in 2007. My dad also died of prostate cancer, and like you I had been keeping a close watch. The surgery and recovery are not trivial, but you will get through this. There are lots more Roy Johnson columns I want to read! 😊
