precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

As usual, the people most at risk are often the most generous, the most willing to stand in solidarity with others at risk.
These business owners “were threatened for being immigrants. Now, this Utah restaurant is welcoming all for a free Thanksgiving meal.”

Huh, the NYT took a break from dehumanizing trans people to report sorta honestly on Trump’s mental and physical decline.
My theory is that Trump has always used stimulants and they no longer work well enough to mask his cognitive decline and age related problems which were always there www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Nativists love to talk about the costs of immigrants, but each ICE agent is making $213,000 in total compensation to destroy our rights, freedoms, families, friendships, neighborhoods, and economies. Worse than a "welfare queen." It'd be better to pay them to stay home.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?
