I never said Dems were idiots, but, if they can't beat this bunch of misfits, who can they beat?
It's not news that the GOP controls the House, Senate, Executive, and SCOTUS. That is not a winning formula regardless of how much money they have.

So this guy gets arrested but the J6 crew got pardons?
Seems fair.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Something cool I learned today: starting with Block III of the Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine, the periscope is literally operated by a $60 Xbox controller on the central command workstation. (Before, they used a custom-made $5000 joystick, the crew found the Xbox more intuitive).

So the question is, will Oklahoma’s Republican Governor, two Republican Senators or five Republican U.S. Representatives stand up for their new constituent and get to the bottom of this?
Or not?

Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Had a co-worker who married a girl from the Philippines. He was an engineer; she a nurse. She was married to a US citizen and had needed skills - just the kind of citizen we should want.
The hell they had to go thru to get her citizenship was an unreal nightmare. I agree it was a huge mess.

Both 988 and 911 provide critical support but focus on different crisis types: the 988 Lifeline specializes in mental health, suicide, and problematic substance use support, while 911 addresses physical dangers needing police, fire, or EMS.

Also known as “National Socialism”.
The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."
And then... I lost it.

I took the below picture a couple of weeks ago to make a point to my son that the supply chain mess is better but not fixed.
Yesterday, my wife made a Sam's run. There were carts loaded with toilet paper.
In 2020 we could not get TP. Now, in Trump 2.0, it's the gonna be the same damn thing.

The label Conservative doesn't seem to fit anything in contemporary American politics these days. Back when it did this is what it meant to me personally.
A) Above Everything,
the Constitution and the rule of law.
B) Natural Rights, Freedom, Liberty, Self-Determinism.
