Marjorie Taylor Greene bullied school shooting victims, and bragged about it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN: "I feel very sorry for President Trump. I genuinely do. It has to be a hard place for someone that is constantly so hateful and puts so much vitriol, name calling, and really tells lies about people in order to try to get his way."

The thing that’s now true of both the President of the United States and the NATO Secretary General is that they are both liabilities to the strategic purpose of NATO.

This Democrat held the line on the Affordable Care Act in 2010 when multiple Senate Democrats thought this was way too hard to do in 2025.
Former Rep. Tom Perriello, a Virginia Democrat who won his sole term in a huge 2008 upset, unexpectedly announces campaign against GOP Rep. John McGuire. Trump carried the current version of #VA05 56-43, but it could look a lot different if Democrats convince voters to approve a new map this spring.

You just have to completely memory hole the fact that the war in Ukraine began with Russia attempting to take Kyiv with an armored convoy that was 64 kilometers long for this to sound credible.
The plan at the onset of the invasion was taking all of Ukraine, and Russia’s ambitions haven’t changed.

The White House released a proclamation declaring December 7th to be “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day” a couple days ago, which was respectful of our modern day close partnership with Japan and even named the right Hawaiian island that was attacked.
So obviously Donald Trump didn’t write it.

I cannot emphasize enough that if this becomes United States military doctrine, this endangers our military personnel across the globe.
If the presence of the United States military is regarded as a force that kills indiscriminately, other actors will update their tactics/responses accordingly.

“Kill all boats no matter where they are going or what they possess” isn’t a strategy, it’s just a killing spree

The kind of Democratic candidate I’m looking for at this point is one who will follow through on a promise to make the day he’s no longer among us a national holiday.
The Trump admin just changed which days Americans can visit national parks for free next year — removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth and adding Trump's birthday.

Yep. Have been trying to stress this point.
Boats alleged to be carrying drugs is an issue 1) traditionally handled by maritime law enforcement and 2) the proportionate tactic is interdiction.
Every strike that has been committed has been out of proportion, not just the strike to kill survivors.

Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

That the Supreme Court took up the issue of the legality of Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order at all is proof that originalism as a judicial philosophy was never operating on the level.
It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

They did NOT vote for Donald Trump based on the idea that he'd make their lives better.

By the way I tried doing this, and @sykescharlie.bsky.social is right, it's highly unnerving/revealing:
"If you do a Google search for 'ICE raid this is what I voted for' you will get a quick sense of how MAGA supporters are celebrating the cruelty of Trump’s deportation regime."

If you thought the plot of Metal Gear Solid 4 was dystopian—where the world's economy was sustained by continuous warfare among private military companies—get ready for a world where United States military battlefield decisions might be based on placating right-wing social media influencers.
Come to think of it, Pete Hegseth just admitted openly that they're committing extrajudicial murders in international waters partly in order to please MAGA influencers that want retribution for political attacks on Pete Hegseth:
Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

It bothers me that she didn't explicitly foreground the most important information, which is that Donald Trump pondering the idea of starting a land war against Venezuela is a sign that he's completely insane.
Slotkin: "If there's an idea that we're gonna go start a land war against Venezuela -- and just remember, the military of Venezuela is not comparable to the military of the US -- if we're gonna do that, then that should come to Congress."

Russian aggression against the European continent could have been stopped dead in its tracks if we just gave sufficient weapon systems to Ukraine, and allowed those weapon systems to open fire deep into Russian territory.
Russian state tv is propagandizing this idea all over the place:

Yep, it's mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, we don't have Democratic leaders prepared to confront this reality. Our House minority leader just yesterday was like "Donald Trump pardoning this corruption was good actually."
When I say that either the GOP or the Republic can survive, but not both, this is what I mean: Cotton certainly knows this is not remotely lawful. But laws mean nothing to the GOP at this point: the law is what the GOP does in their eyes.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), to reporters, after viewing video footage of the U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean on Sept. 2:
"Righteous strikes." "Entirely lawful."
