What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war?

The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant.

We have a King.

Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that you're not bad at your job and desperately begging for a job at CBS.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Having a bit of a negative day here, but I think there's still a ton of naivety that were going to vote our way out of this next year and I think we're in for a rude awakening. Republicans now own most of social and traditional media. They just bought dominion voting systems. The deck is stacked.

God your takes are so bad. She peddles innuendo, gossip, and hate with an agenda and is now owned by yet another right wing billionaire. This isn't about feminism and rallying around women and more than the wnba reffing crisis is about jealousy to Caitlyn Clark.

You're so bad at this.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Vought’s ideology of “radical constitutionalism” captures the defining sensibility on the Trumpist Right: “The Left,” he believes, has command of America, there is nothing left to conserve, nothing short of a radical “counter-revolution” can now save the nation.

Even without personal Catholic context, "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing." sounds like a strong (and appropriate) diss to me.

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

Please please associate all the good things in the government like the CDC and Ed with Democrats and cut everything to the bad bones of ICE and Tariffs which are Republican things. See how that goes over in the public opinion.

The only thing you should ever grant them is a 30 day reprieve in exchange for a cabinet head. RFK or Noem are a great place to start. They can come back and beg for votes in 30 days.

Quantbrain Dem data people are just telling members of Congress to be losers. To stay away from the biggest civil rights violations — Constintuitional crisis — of our time.

Because their bullshit polls, their bad data, lead Dem leaders to be passive and pathetic.
