I say this without a hint of sarcasm. The Armageddon DVD commentary is the finest work of Ben Affleck’s career.

They’re lashing out against Habeas and arresting Mayors because they know their position is weak and getting weaker, and they’re panicking. It’s scary to live through, but it’s less scary when you remember this isn’t coming from a position of strength, it’s sweaty desperation.

"Tariffs are a great thing, just don't show them on your website to customers" is a flawless encapsulation of 2025 so far. No notes. 10/10. It's amazing how stupid these people think you are.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

A 2-year-old citizen was deported. A judge was detained. People are disappearing.

The emergency is now.

As a critical care physician, I’m trained to act—and I will. I’ll use everything I've got to defend our constitutional rights. That’s what leadership looks like.

Secretary Hegseth lectured the country for YEARS about the dangers of mishandling classified information.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

Hegseth’s actions have clearly undermined our national security.

He must resign.

#1 issue, easily
Today, it's Kilmar Abrego Garcia being sent to a foreign prison camp without a hearing or any evidence against him. If we don't speak out, tomorrow it could be you.

This is straight out of the Putin playbook. We must stand up for freedom, the Constitution, and civil liberties in this country.

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.
