If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

The most annoying thing about Marjorie Taylor Greene being frequently correct these days is the implication that she's been privately working with logic all along but clearly tossed it aside in favor of her cynical climb up the ladder of a hate movement.
Anyway, yes, glad she's speaking out.

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

What's more embarrassing -- the Mets missing the postseason with a $338 million payroll, or the Yankees only getting a Wild Card slot with a $298 million payroll? I actually think it's the Yankees, because I hate them more.

Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

An entire nation was forever changed and lives were brutally ripped from us on this day 26 years ago in a preventable tragedy at Columbine High School.
Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings due to America’s failed leadership, lax gun laws, and capitulation to the gun industry.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.
