In a petulant order that casts her as the victim of rogue judges issuing illegal orders, Gov. Sarah Sanders on Sunday complied with two valid court orders directing her to set special elections in two vacant legislatives seats for March 3.

The weirdest thing with all of this IMHO is how focused this admiration seems to be on drug trafficking.
It’s literally so, so low on issues voters currently care about.

A potential prelude to military action against Venezuela—even though the FTO designation as such confers no authority to use force.

This is probably going to be one of my more unpopular takes but I don’t think the standard for members of Congress should be if they’re willing to get roughed up by the cops or not
Not every politician is willing to do what John Lewis & others have done. And I don’t think that makes them bad people

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

The American voting public has made it clear they aren't ready to elect a female President. That isn't Michelle, or Kamala, or Hillary's fault.
It's 100% on the voters. And sometimes revealing truths about voters is uncomfortable.

Michelle Obama says “don’t even look at me about running” because the United States isn’t ready for a woman President:
“We ain’t ready. That’s why I’m like ‘don’t even look at me about running’ cause you all are lying. You ain’t ready for a woman. So don’t waste my time.”

Here's mine:

It has become crystal clear to me that the mainstream media in this country are beyond repair. I do not have the answers but I DO know it 1000% should be a medium-sized issue for the 2028 Dem primary.
