Albert Speer already designed one. Now all "Builder Don" has to do is choose the stone.

I agree with Kamala Harris position on Israel and Gaza. I am grateful the 88% of Jewish Americans voted for a 2 state solution.

I refuse to give Bibi a pass. He interfered with our politics for years & pulled a Nixon/Reagan w/ hostages. He was racist & undermined Pres Obama & VP Harris.

Let's get rolling.

I understand completely. It was a sarcastic comment meaning that Republicans and farmers have a symbiotic relationship. They've been doing this for decades. As with all Republican shenanigans, we end up paying for it.

The temps are down in the 60s at night here and I thought chicken soup would be nice.

welp, Young Republicans all across the country are having very normal reactions to the Politico story outing their chats. "Everyone in this article is a patriot and everyone attacking them is a dirty, treacherous, impotent, cowardly, bundle of sticks," is a totally chill, unremarkable thing to say.

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

OH COME ON!!

Graham Platner: “Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they’re fighting fascism…”

Graham Platner: “But I’m not a wealthy guy, and we’re still short of our $50,000 goal and what we need to win. If I’m going to be able to defeat Susan Collins and flip this Senate seat blue, I need folks like you to chip in now to my campaign.

Please, will you split a donation right now between my campaign and No Dem Left Behind to help me defeat Susan Collins…”

I'd say this is actually the Fed behavior.

You know how Trump and the GOP are flipping out because protesters are showing up in silly costumes and not giving them the violent content they've been trying to trigger?

This is the other side of that coin.

Its not problematic its just worthless and toothless and unironically basically a fed protest.

No protest that is planned and says they will do as the police say is worth a damm

Maybe also from his father, the attorney, and his mother, who owns restaurants, or his grandfather, the esteemed modernist architect who designed buildings and projects all over the world.

Wasn't Platner anti-war during the Iraq War?
