One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

Literally people out there who study this kinda thing, have advanced degrees, spent 20 years in little locked rooms with people who have committed violent crimes, but why ask them?
And I won't be excited about this dip until it lasts the year, maybe 5.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

The federal government reviewed over 49 million voter registrations and found ZERO evidence of widespread noncitizen voting. Instead, it wrongly flagged some people who ARE citizens. 🤬
Our laws already make sure only US citizens vote — this tool just risks blocking eligible voters from the ballot.

The "article" here should be "why do so many people in rural areas believe things that are easily provably false?" as opposed to "why are we so divided?"
It's almost like the former might give you the answer to the latter.

Perfect example. Democrat says something sympathetic to rural areas and Republicans take it out of context to imply condescension.
From 'deplorables' to 'you didn't build that,' we've seen this play out dozens of times. If this was real you wouldn't have to lie to find evidence!

NYT frame it as rural areas being the political underdog, while the power rests in the cities. The reality is that the federal gov which is currently rolling its muscles is the expression of the political will of rural areas, and they employ this violence against cities.
