It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Did they do this to try to win points to make up for the ICE ads? 🤔

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

I expect someday they will separate - only then will she realize just how stupid it was to back him.

Honestly I thought she might leave him after he was appointed to HHS, just to spare herself the embarrassment. But, she's clearly right in it with him - for now anyway!

This is true, even if the trauma you're healing is from years ago. Give yourself time, be patient and gentle with yourself, and don't beat yourself up if it takes longer than you'd like to recover.

When parents get rightfully upset about Turning Point USA bringing clubs into high schools across the country, it’s because the people that were caught in that young Republicans chat are the same people who will join a TP USA chapter in high school.

It's sad to learn how very stupid Cheryl Hines is. It's embarrassing I used to respect her. What a joke she is - she deserves that festering bag of leather.

Yes, they're afraid of the only thing that can stop them - the people.

I believe every dictator is terrified of their people, which is why they stomp so hard and fast on any resistance or protest. They want to kill that hope before it takes hold in people's hearts.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Westbrook is fun to watch, regardless of the team he's on. He's been hot and cold on the court these last few seasons, but he brings a unique energy to the game. Some hate it, some love it - I just enjoy watching it!

He thinks he's shaming us, but he's actually making himself look really stupid and uninformed. That will only work with a small portion of our country. Most of us see right through him and his charade.

He seems scared.

Protesting is a First Amendment right. No Kings is a peaceful protest in defense of democracy. Mike Johnson calling it a “hate rally” is pure disinformation He’s trying to seed violence. We see the playbook and we’ll make sure responsibility lands exactly where it belongs.
