You have to admire the chutzpah of Ted Cruz attacking Karen Bass and Dems in LA right now.
Ted Cruz wasn’t on an official trip out of town when Texas snow storms hit & shut down his state - he fled to Cancun AFTER the crisis began, to stay at the Ritz & have a nice time.
250+ people died in Texas

Migrants taking their jobs. Minorities taking their college. Democrats taking their guns. Progressives taking their meat and making them eat bugs. Liberals taking away their miserable god. Gays taking their marriage. Trans taking their bathroom and sports. Foreigners taking their money.

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.
Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

Hegseth is a member of a far-right Christian Nationalist church based in Idaho. This is a real threat.

Just a reminder that in 2020, Dr. Oz suggested that opening schools during COVID would "only cost us 2-3% in terms of total mortality," and that "any life is a life lost but... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

Ron is correct. If you are terrified of the man you are supposed to be aggressively covering, retire. That television slot can be taken by someone with a spine.

ProPublica reviewed 12 of the nation’s strictest abortion bans. Few changed in 2023, as state lawmakers caved to pressure from anti-abortion groups opposing exceptions for rape, incest and health risks.
