Interestingly, if on January 6 the Capitol police had implemented the policy endorsed by this Florida sheriff, there would have been far fewer J6 defendants left alive for Trump to pardon.
Hate to tell you this Mr. Sheriff-Man but the NO KINGS non-violent, peaceful, political protest is not a riot, it’s a non-violent, peaceful, political protest.

Trump is treating Musk like another old trophy wife to be discarded. In fact, if Elon isn't careful he could end up buried on a golf course in New Jersey.

If you think gun laws don’t matter, the heinous guy in Colorado who burned 12 Jewish Americans in an act of pure hate, was trying to buy a gun, but was unable to. As bad as it was, imagine the conversation we’d be having today.

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

To witness what Israel is doing to Gaza, after what Germany did to the Jews, is to understand just how thin that veneer of human civilization and decency can be, and what nightmares we set loose when we decide to strip it away.

I think the way to turn this administration’s tanking polls around is to have this creep talk about his plans for our children as much as possible.

Trump declared an emergency on the border, allowing him to use the military there. He declared an economic emergency, allowing him to unilaterally impose huge tariffs. He declared an invasion by Venezuela, so he can snatch and deport. And he is eying an emergency so he can impose martial law.

If Congress grants the president extreme powers that by law can be used only in emergencies, but the judiciary is forbidden to review whether an emergency actually exists, then what Congress has done is grant the president extreme powers anytime he wants to use them.

Inviting El Salvador's president to the Oval Office, where he and Trump both made clear they will do nothing to free Kilmar Abrego García despite a 9-0 decision by the US Supreme Court, was a cold, premeditated, in-your-face middle finger to the justices and the entire judicial system.

That is correct.
Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.
