Brazil has a high court mostly appointed by liberals who had already ruled that Bolsonaro couldn't run again.

We have 6 completely corrupt justices and a media and academia that lionizes them still.

Will not click but I don't think very many people are arguing the files should be released in such a way as to out victims who haven't already been public about it.

I'm confused how this would work though. They already have stuff written down that says they have to spend the money. So more stuff written down would make sure it happens?
Hm, seems like before sending a funding bill to this president, Democratic senators could have written some guarantees into the bill that the funding would actually get spent
The Republican govt shutdown is over, but Trump is still leaving our families in the cold.

With over 150,000 households in MA dependent on LIHEAP to pay their home heating bills in the winter, I'm joining @trahan.house.gov & nearly 100 Dems demanding Trump release these funds NOW.

people were very confident that some Dems voting to re-open the government would cause these lines to go back the other way. lol
In our latest polling averages over at FiftyPlusOne, Trump has hit a new low of 39.6% in his second-term job approval (-17 on net), and Republicans just hit a new low of 41.3% in the 2026 House generic ballot (Dems +4.2 on margin).

I've tried to move on but I can only think of everyone's favorite socialist mayor-elect smiling and praising this guy 4 days ago.
Trump on the turkeys he's about to pardon: "I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck and Nancy. But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't care what Melania told me."

Still haven't gotten any clarity from the NYT here
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Love this shit. Democrats did the longest shutdown in history to try to get the goldfish brain public to notice that ACA subsidies were going to stop, it was mostly successful, but they should have kept feds without pay for ? longer so people would notice Venezuela (which escalated in the last week)

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

The events of just today make Mamdani's failure on Friday even larger. All of this stuff is unpopular and many NYCers who engaged with Mamdani's as their first real political engagement may not know it is happening.

What political talent is this who pulls up an enemy when he's losing?

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

On Monday, in response to reporters, Wu said she's "not interested in a bromance with the federal regime."

It’s a notable divide between Wu and her fellow progressive leader, who has called her the most effective Democrat in America. Every leader needs to decide how to handle this political moment, Wu offe...

The media wanted to let the "President threatens members of congress with death" story go after a day of mild coverage but the president won't let them
“Within the White House, Trump and his lieutenants aren’t planning on letting up…Trump has told some advisers that he wants RICO prosecutions and conspiracy charges leveled against the six Democrats, a source with direct knowledge of the matter tells Zeteo…

Ah ok I'm sure the decorated astronaut and senator has some dirt that no one's ever brought up
Breaking:

Just days after Sen. Mark Kelly participated in a video asking service members to ‘refuse illegal orders,' the Pentagon now says it's opening an investigation into Kelly for "serious allegations of misconduct."

Mr Trump can you defund Columbia j school, specifically?
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

No respect for this poster because like the other more infamous Matt, he constantly makes reply guy posts like this to make some hair splitting point that he knows will annoy people, and ignores all the reasonable responses even though we know he lives to post. Masturbatory

According to a lot of posters Mamdani was correct to not being this up either in person with the president, or on TV two days later and to say he's working with Trump on affordability because that will keep this happening in Charlotte and not new york city

Here is an example of a thing that is totally fine to do but just shouldn't be a priority of the president in any way and of course the replies are like "why does the massive base with hundreds of thousands of current and retired military and civilian DOD employees nearby have a gold course??!"

Lots of sportsball people became obsessive about F1 over the last five years because it had an engaging tv show and wasn't as American (derogatory) as NFL or like NASCAR oh well
