Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It's America First to declare taxes on a bunch of agricultural products, diving up their prices (while denying it would do that), then removing those tariffs a few months later claiming that "we're making trade fair again" (implying you first made them unfair) & then say you're "delivering"?

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Everybody is dunking on these elites describing their crimes in emails... but I think we also need to consider how we are ignoring the message at the bottom saying these are confidential emails!!

@internet.bsky.social are you aware of video playback problems on iOS? Been having issues for at least six months and it’s driving me crazy.
Video player stops mid-video consistently with certain accounts I follow. @atrupar.com is one
For past couple weeks, the whole app freezes frequently too.

@jvl.bsky.social I have a terrible story to share... about a year after my 2nd shingles vax, I freaked out and thought I'd forgotten to get the second. So I went to the pharmacy and got a THIRD shot. It was awful. My problem was that I got first shot at my doctor, and the second at RX, so no record😫

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Just horrific. These are crimes.
And let’s be clear — this is by design. They’ve been forthright about that. The aim is to make it migrants suffer so much that they give up their due process rights and leave voluntarily.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.
Progressives may flip Aurora council as voters reject Danielle Jurinsky and other incumbents
Jurinsky built ties with Trump during the 2024 campaign when he falsely claimed Aurora was being “taken over” by a Venezuelan prison gang.
