Why not crowd fund a commercial?

And while we're at it, we could crowd fund a national news channel. There seem to be plenty of out of work journalists with integrity to staff it.

If the Democrats were smart (I know, I know, assuming facts not in evidence, but hear me out) they'd run 30 seconds of this footage, without any commentary, as an ad.

SCOOP: more than a third of new recruits at the ICE training academy have failed the personal fitness test -- so many that the agency has had to start pre-screening new hires to weed out what one official called "athletically allergic candidates" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
A Third of ICE-Academy Recruits Are Failing Out
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

This is definitely one of those things that people would’ve called you hysterical for predicting a year ago.

Trump is going to destroy the East Room of the White House without even asking Congress and build a ballroom with funds from private companies that are seeking favors? Settle down, lib.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

One of the largest airlift evacuations in Alaska history last week. Survivors may not be able to return home for 18 months — at least two coastal communities have been completely washed away by floodwaters from ex-Typhoon Halong.

Q: Did you tell Zelenskyy he needed to cede all of the Donbas region to Russia?

TRUMP: No. We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are

Q: What do you think should happen w/ the Donbas?

T: I think 78% of the land is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way it is

Ive been thinking a lot about the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision and how to move past it and my answer is to tell SCOTUS that the ruling was too stupid to respect so it doesn't count.

You can't tell me that's not how the law works anymore.
