There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Between this, Roe v. Wade, and next the VRA, this court is the most destructive in our history. Their job is to dismantle the republic. They are saboteurs pure and simple.

2) Extorting the country’s elites into supporting Milei because Trump wants a vassal state like Putin has in Belarus.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

Maybe this is controversial but I think that if you rip children out of cars and zip tie them and take them from their families for being brown, the world would be better off if you were no longer living.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Dante’s Commedia is the greatest human artifact in the history of civilization. Its genius is so superlative and interwoven into the text it actually does seems divinely inspired, yet it still is petty and grimy enough to be essentially, foundationally rooted in humanity.

After commenters deriding the appearance of TX NG troops made photos of their deployment to Chicago go viral, the Texas Military Department quietly recalled and replaced them

For their appearance.

They didn’t send the Guard to serve.
They sent them to be seen.
