STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

Voted for Reagan in 84, I saw by 1986/87 where the GOP was headed, switched parties, and I laugh at Tom Nichols, to this day. Who voted twice for Bush, but not for Trump, what? What changed?-nothing!

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

CNN is hopelessly broken.
1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.
2. It would violate several treaties.
3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

How will employers handle farms, factories, and businesses being raided? How will voters react when prices skyrocket from labor shortages?

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy.
