there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Astonishing.
Republicans have been driving towards this ACA cliff for 6 months.
The American people have begged them to stop.
The government was shutdown for 43 days as a warning.
And instead of hitting the brakes the GOP has decided to step on the gas.

The absolute seething resentment that people with names like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Clint Smith write best-sellers and win awards. It doesn't matter how few black writers there are, every single one is a usurper of their birthright

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.
