I’m absolutely convinced that 99% of all MAGA accounts here are Russians pretending to be American citizens. Their posts, their replies are so stupid, it’s what Russia thinks MAGA would sound like.
Unless MAGA really are that incredibly idiotic?!? Thoughts?

It seems dangerous and perverse to have to test each iteration of an established vaccine as if it is a new type of vaccine. On this basis we would never have had vaccines to combat covid.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama?

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.
The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.
Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.
It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

Presidents should not be allowed to pardon people they egged on into committing their crimes. It's not forgiveness, it's lawlessness.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.
"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

Um… this is not good. Not good at all.
Turner is one of the most pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin Republicans and as intelligence chair has access to the gritty details of what our adversaries are up to.
This is an intra-party purge in the service of opponents of our democracy — and a preview of what’s coming when Trump takes power in five days.
