Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

We do realize, Mark. Medicare for all, or at least a public option to force insurers to compete.
PS It's adorable to watch Republicans realize everything they've done to block a public option gives "carte blanche to insurance companies." Like they woke up to this in the year of our Lord 2025?

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

too bad the Republican justices haven't heard of the Constitution.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison
