Your point is well-taken.

But there is now one country where Davis (and those with him) wanted there to be two.

There is no legal slavery in any state.

They stopped shooting at us in ranks and files.

A through line is not the same thing as a country. The Confederacy was beaten. And will be again

Hi, county chair of a Democratic Party here.

This is a sign of a weak party. I am in a county of 750k and we're lucky to get a few hundred dollars a month.

The DNC and state party shift costs and burdens to us.

Donate to your local party, not just candidates.

Mathematicians have recently made strides toward understanding the behavior of ocean waves, a topic that has entranced scholars since ancient Greece. Now, a team of Italian researchers has proved a major conjecture about when waves die and when they don’t.

Also, he just summarized what this whole shutdown is really about.

We're going to see negative outcomes from this. The hardest hit will be the weakest and most innocent.

All for a political transaction.

Did they make an MST3K version of it? That would be easier to endure.

Biden yes, but with Blinken, and a team of hard-working civil servants at State.

Also, this demonstrates clearly that the DOGE catastrophe was only partly Elosh, and Trump really wants to see all these faithful public servants leading quite lives dedicate to the greater good to suffer.

Among other things, this episode demonstrates that Hegseth doesn't understand the true nature of power, especially how it is divided and counterbalanced as part of the natural order of things.

Dear Ukraine,

This particular person has been known to make promises and threats that he later doesn't follow through on. Brace yourself for him possibly doing that again.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance
