Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Every six seconds in America, another Republican is born who doesn’t know how to secure digital messages. Stop the tragedy. Won’t you give?

We musical artists just found out you’re openly racist when you think you’re alone.

Not an accurate take.

MTG is genuine as daylight about molesting kids. She's been riding the crackpot Q-Anon horse all along, has called for the Epstein release all along, and she has just enough integrity to notice that now it's now Trump trying to keep sex-abuse files out of the public eye.

They make things better, faster, smarter, cheaper, and we've tariffed ourselves so we have no access to those goods.

There were so many good answers to this problem, and we chose the least good.
