For an administration that came out of the box threatening Canadian independence, Greenland’s sovereignty, the Panama Canal, etc., it sure has a glass jaw. 🤡
WELKER: Why is the president setting trade policy based on a TV ad he doesn't like?

BESSENT: This is a kind of propaganda against US citizens. It's psyops

Race operates as a signifier for political loyalties.
The fact that some prominent Democrats defend a Maine Senate primary candidate’s Nazi tattoo while he isn’t even leading in polls, but not defend a NYC mayor primary winner from false smears even as he’s leading general election polls says a lot.

That doesn’t seem driven by voter preference.

It's amazing how these idiots are able to call people snowflakes
1. Reagan’s speech is real

2. It’s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

This right here! It's like they are spamming us with so many weird, cartoonishly evil subplots it's easy for details like this to get lost. And these are massive details and at least help us partly make sense of the whole thing. None of the information we have about these people has changed.
It may not matter, because soon they will eliminate the Department of Agriculture along with the Department of Education. The goal is to put farmers of all kinds out of business, buy those farms, and create private corporate farms. The V.P. is with an organization that is buying up those farms.
He wants his staff to sign NDAs if elected. Is there more? Sounds like a Trump move.
“The problem isn’t my tattoo, it’s people talking about it” feels a whole lot like JD Vance calling them republicans “kids” and saying he warns his kids not to say bigoted stuff in texts, not bc saying bigoted stuff is wrong, but bc “some scumbag might leak it to the media”
Any Platner staffer who is considering signing a gag order should reach out to me. And any Platner employee or vendor who is foisting an NDA on a fellow staffer should find a different line of work. You have become all that you pretend you fight against.

1) Interesting that he'll be running against Janet Mills.
2) Yes, mistakes be made, but he was a grown ass man...in the military.
3) Murphy...what? Come on now.
4) Another Fetterman situation, nah...you all should pass on this one.
Chris Murphy on Platner's Totenkopf tattoo: "He sounds like a human being to me. A human being who made mistakes, recognizes them, and is very open about it."
Capitalism for the rich only. You should live to work, and strive to respond to the whims of their market.
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

FLAG: The Trump admin says the Justice Department will monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey ahead of the Nov. 4 election, following requests by Republican officials in those states.

Democrats call the move an obvious attempt at voter suppression.
