I want to understand how the word "potentially" got in there, because right in the very same sentence it says they killed people. Because what it feels like is that on a purely factual basis they should have just said "violent campaign" but got squeamish about telling the truth

Here's a fun one: If you took every game this year where Ryan Reaves had a positive Game Score, added them all together, and deleted the bad games, it would not be a Top-20 individual game for a Maple Leafs skater this season. He dressed in nearly half of the games

The Supreme Court handed Trump immunity when he asked for it, and undermined Judicial oversight when he asked for it. They absolutely would not have done it for Biden for the very clear reason that their interests are Trump's interests.
I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

Mainers like nothing better than to absolutely savage Susan Collins in every possible way in state polling and then breezily reelect her to another six year term
Quite the UNH poll of Maine:
Governor Janet Mills' favorability is 51/41
Senator Susan Collins' is ... 14/57.
Among independents, Collins' favorability is a startling 8/60.

Every Mamdani proposal is met with a chorus of "How are you going to pay for it?" Meanwhile...
34,000 already employed by NYPD. Before overtime, $11 billion in taxpayer funds. Largest police force in world.
Cuomo calling for 5000 more. Base starting salary alone: $300 million more.
Could instead fund violence interruption & summer youth employment in every NYC neighborhood for 5 years.

Walz should call a special session for this in Minnesota.
We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info.

The fundamental unifying belief of all modern American conservatives is that liberals are not really their fellow citizens.
Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops.
And the troops are applauding.
As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

TRUMP: Los Angeles would be burning today, just like their houses were burning months ago. Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion ... as commander in chief, I will not let that happen
