Trumpiggy admitted he wanted a political payoff after a pardon of a Texas Democrat. That's a felony quid pro quo whether he actually received it or not. He should be impeached for it.

It is disgusting that Trump’s hateful words of calling Somali Americans “garbage” have continued to go unchecked by members of the Republican Party.
These are US citizens he is denigrating.
We have a duty as Americans to call out his hateful rhetoric.

Karp says he "pays the price" when he's wrong.
When Palantir's algorithm gets the wrong person arrested, is he arrested? When it gets the wrong person killed, is he killed?
So no, he doesn't pay the price. He pays a tiny, inconsequential fraction of the price.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

There aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child.
But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear.
Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.

He chose death over life for Americans when he voted to confirm Kennedy.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC.
Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
