The only real analog I can think of to Elise Stefanik's decision to run for governor of New York in 2026 is Thích Quảng Đức, the buddhist monk who lit himself on fire at an intersection Saigon in 1963.

Because criminals always hang out in work vans.
ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

The Trump Administration’s decision to cancel the Food Security Survey is like closing your eyes in the cage so the tiger will go away. Same with delaying the invasion inflation report. Memories of “we do too much Covid testing“.

To be clear, Kirk was murdered because he wasn’t enough of a Nazi. All the rest is noise.

Personal preferences like the entire GOP caucus resigning tomorrow. I guess I can give up on that. Legislation that doesn’t kill people? Not so much!

The felon wants to deport bad American citizens. I know a criminal he can start with.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

NASDAQ is down 14.3% in the last six months. What did we do six months ago? We elected Donald J. Trump President. Because eggs cost a lot. And eggs cost more than ever.

And I’m going to call Bondi a prostitute. I have as much evidence as she does.
Bondi on Abrego Garcia: "This is an extremely disturbing case. Every American tonight should be thanking Donald Trump for making America safer by getting this guy out of our county. I'm going to call him a terrorist ... this illegal alien terrorist."

“Sir, <snrrk> I have never seen anybody (do you believe I’m saying this?) get that kind of — that was the highest mark in the history of the known universe (will that placate this moron). Only 99% of the people who take this test get that mark.”

And once again, hypocrisy reigns supreme with these lying liars who lie.
The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.
Bondi on Garcia: "That's up for El Salvador if they want to return him. That's not up to us."

We are digging through our memorabilia and found ticket stubs for Chicago on May 8, 1971 ($4.00) and Jesus Christ Superstar with Deep Purple on August 9, 1971 ($5.50). If gas had increased as much as show tickets in the last 50 years, it would be $12.45 a gallon.

The GOP has discovered that ordinary people hate what they’re doing and will do whatever they can to stop them. And they are too cowardly to face ordinary Americans in red districts, because they know they will lose.
