Conservatives are welcome to slander strangers and protest the sharing of resources and celebrate the suffering around them and assert their right not to give a damn about anyone but themselves—but we can’t allow them to pass the buck to God while they do.

Christians Who Don't Want to Feed People—Aren't Christians

Well, we’re in the “Jesus didn’t say we should feed people” portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

No, reasonable people CANNOT disagree about whether Hitler was good.

Reasonable people all agree that Hitler was bad. The only people who disagree are Nazis.

Nick Fuentes is a Nazi, and the Heritage Foundation is Nazi-aligned.

The GOP’s top think tank just defended an open Nazi

Reasonable people can disagree about whether Hitler was good, says the Heritage Foundation.

I have no idea and frankly I don’t like to think in terms of DNA.

But what many westerners do not get as I understand the history: 🇷🇺 has not had a popular enlightenment period. If any it was a elite past time project of no consequence to the mass.

Instead they had despotism in its worst forms.

Maybe--and hear me out now--the Dems should try and learn from Mandami's popularity instead of fighting against it. There's good reason people like him.

On MSNBC Cuomo said "diversity can be a weakness." When asked by one of the two Black hosts (Eugene) to clarify, he doubled down on his statement and called Eugene "Jonathan."

So Cuomo is anti-diversity & can't tell Black people apart.🤔

Honestly the best anti-Cuomo ads are just letting Cuomo speak

The implicit assumption that white rural voters are the *real* voice of the masses, while the people who live around the major population centers (ie the majority of the country) are out of touch degenerates remains an unshakable feature of punditry. Truly nasty work

This story keeps getting richer

Trump's DOJ apparently sealed the first sentencing memo, and the judge was like...not sure how y'all even did that but I'm unsealing it unless you tell me in writing why I shouldn't, those first two attorneys did great 🧐🤷🏾‍♀️

putting federal prosecutors on leave bc their court filing mentioned January 6 as proof that the dude who showed up at Obama's house armed to the teeth had a history of political violence is already wild

going back and REfiling w/o the no-no words is outrageous!

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

If you live in New Jersey please make sure you get out and vote for Democratic candidate for governor Mikie Sherrill. She will be an amazing governor fighting for everyone. Polls are very close meaning very vote counts. Don't let Trump's handpicked GOP nominee win! Vote Democratic!

Canada’s anti-tariff ad was an incursion in the trade war, but there’s another reason it may have bothered Trump.

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.
