The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

It's odd to find myself in total agreement with Rand Paul, but he's on the money here and I’m glad he’s speaking out.

What’s the over/under that Bondi releases the Epstein file by Friday?

I’m betting she asks for an injunction and then sues all the way to the bootlicking SCOTUS.

Funny how the Heritage Foundation – architects of Project 2025 and self‑styled guardians of “family values,” a “biblically ordered” America – have nothing to say about the full release of the Epstein files.

MTG beat them to it.
And they say Americans don’t understand irony?

Let that sink in.🤔

“When we’re talking about the values of our city, and we stand up here and we say time after time that we support our immigrant community and that we are a welcoming city — I cannot support a corporation that does not prescribe to that,” Council member Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez said.
Denver City Council voted against a resolution Monday that would have allowed Key Lime Air to lease ground space at Denver International Airport over concerns about the airline’s immigration enforcement flights in recent months.

I'm surprised they didn't slide Coleman Hughes or Glenn Loury in there just for the optics.
There are no black people at the Erika Kirk Town Hall hosted by Bari Weiss and CBS.

This is a mistake that should be impossible for any network to make.

Jared Kushner is back at the center of Trumpworld, mixing foreign policy, war zone “reconstruction,” and massive media deals. From Middle East negotiations to a bid for CNN, the conflicts of interest are staggering and the stakes could not be higher.

Jared Kushner is so back, and what he's up to should concern us all.

This mishandling by authorities is inexcusable. And Trump should not have gotten involved, posting misinformation about a “suspect in custody” over the Brown University shootings. Unbelievable.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”

Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

Q: “A number of Republicans have denounced your statement about Rob Reiner’s murder. Do you stand by that?”

TRUMP: “He was a deranged person… I was not a fan… I thought he was very bad for our country…”

*mentions Reiner’s beliefs about Trump and Russia in particular* 🤔

Q: “What do you want Congress to do on health care?”

TRUMP says “I’d like to see the people get the money…” and attacks insurance companies

Translation: He has no plan - but Dems should be calling his bluff with #MedicareForAllNOW

The stuff Trump’s trying to hide is way worse than that snap. It’s on a whole new level of disgrace. Let’s get those photos out for everyone to see—MAGA needs to confront the reality of Trump’s denials. Just like those German deniers, it’s time to face the facts head-on.
They were children. Never forget. Never stop fighting for them.

PRO PUBLICA on the Trump regime insidiously using antisemitism claims to crack down on universities:

“Trump’s DOJ threatened UCLA with discrimination lawsuits, demanded $1 billion+ in fines, pressed for changes that had nothing to do with antisemitism.”
