Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

Tommy Tuberville is running for Governor. Alabama Constitution’s 7 year residency requirement be damned. You actually have to live here, not just live in a hotel room for a day like in the Senate. Flouting this is more proof that laws are meant to bind you and I, but don’t apply to the GOP.

Let's talk about it: Donald Trump has been obsessed with eugenics for decades. So here is a timeline to show you how deep this obsession runs.

We begin in the 1980s, when it was alleged that Trump said, “Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower."

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last

This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.

I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.
