I talked to a bunch of kids today about football and they've never heard of the Redskins.
That name is just in the past now. Soon to be forgotten.

I knew it!
Breaking news: Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. issued a brief pause on a lower court order blocking a new congressional map in Texas that would give Republicans an edge in winning five additional House seats.

The order will give the high court time to consider an appeal by Texas, which is seeking to overturn the ruling by a panel of federal judges.

Republicans have decided that the troops having no choice in breaking the law and violating the Constitution is the winning issue they've been looking for.

Seems like the shutdown is still hurting Republicans long after the misdirected (performatice) anger at Democrats has faded away / been discredited.

Lona Khan is a heavy hitter and very talented person.
My Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined Starbucks workers on the picket line today because making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers. We are their partners in the fight to live in this city with dignity.

The most iron clad rule of Trumpism is they never do anything that's hard.
Everything is cutting corners.
As soon as it's time to do the work, they drop the matter and move on.

Omg.
They indicted him without the Grand Jury approval.
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

It's important that we stay on the real issues that will determine the midterms and tune out the Trumpy Springer show.
The Trump administration has unveiled plans to open the coast of California to offshore drilling, a major provocation against a state that has for decades fought to protect its coastal waters.
Trump officials unveil plan to drill off California, sparking a fight
The Interior Department proposed a five-year plan that would allow offshore oil exploration off the coasts of California, Alaska and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

It just occurred to me that refusing to release the Epstein files could be an impeachable offense.
This could be the first issue where some Republicans would support an impeachment.

Am I missing something here about the Epstein "survivors"?
Weren't they having sex for money? While it's clearly illegal and immoral what these men did in having sex with minors, isn't it also illegal and immoral what the girls did?
What am I getting wrong here?

Fortunately there are no other Donald J Trumps because Trump is a made up name that his crook grandpa invented when he was robbing people in the Alaska gold rush.
James Donald Vance Jr., 67, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was sentenced on Monday to two years in prison in connection with threats made against the vice president and President Trump on social media.

The fact that it's unanimous tells me they figured out a way to sanitize it and protect Trump.

It'll be the Mueller report summary all over again.
That worked and the press went along with it btw

My partner worked with memory care patients for decades;
Calling Thanksgiving sides "surroundings" and calling a reporter "Piggy"are both clear signs of dementia.

It's the "what's that word? oh screw it I don't care" effect.
Inability to recall words is the first to go.

Trump is having a positive news cycle because he approved of the House releasing the Epstein files (he's the one blocking it) and he's lowering prices by reducing tariffs (he's the one who created the tariffs).

What will he do next? Save the White House?

Either he's lying or a bunch of billionaires are about to go to prison.

Just a reminder to leftist who love to hate the Democrats, that the CBC is a great model for what this party is all about.
Some of them are moderates, others are farther left.
None of them "might as well be Republicans".
