This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.
The very purpose for which the 25th Amendment was intended.
i guess one question I have is whether or not you’re still executing the duties of your office if you claim not to know anything about what you’re doing

Ben Shapiro was just ratioed by Nick Fuentes on X after Shapiro called out Tucker Carlson and Fuentes for their antisemitism.

The neo nazi right is fully taking over the republican party.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

One of the most meaningful moments I recall when I was desperate for literally anything to cling to during Trump 1.0 was the emergence of Teen Vogue as a destination for anti-fascist coverage. It was so surprising that it became a popular joke, indeed an in-joke, that TV was such a destination.
It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

The media landscape shrinks even further.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

as Virginia votes, think of the Virginians who are barred from participating

Glenn Youngkin in 2023 brought back an extremely harsh scheme of disenfranchisement *for life* for anyone who's been convicted of any felony, which has locked out many people

“People being summoned to the US Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.”

Another COM official added that diplomats returned home rattled after the meetings: “We had feedback from a number of people involved in the negotiations

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.
