“Joe Biden did nothing to fix the system that they knew was broken.”

He did nothing — except pass a $105 billion program to fix the system.

Reporters, Sean Duffy thinks you’re incapable of a simple Google search.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

Phrases NOT found in that NYT piece:
— “emoluments clause”
— “unconstitutional”
— “impeachable offense”

But rest assured that they *did* find time to bothsides this issue by mentioning Hunter Biden’s sleazy but legal trading on his family name.

Yeah, those are equivalent. Good work, boys.

We can learn an important lesson from the era of Joseph McCarthy.

The danger of fear, the power of courage. And how to defeat a demagogue.

He keeps picking television personalities to run things because they’re all he knows. He doesn’t read. Not books, not articles, not academic journals, not even his briefings. All he does is play golf and watch TV.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”
