I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

I will never understand why we don’t just slap these people with dildos for talking like this. What the fuck are you talking about. “He’s got a dick a mile long and I’ve sucked every inch of it” No he doesn’t. No you didn’t. shut the fuck up
Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.

At some point we’re going to shift from the jubilance of watching the GOP going down in flames to actually surveying the wreckage of this period and all I can say is that we better be fucking sure we’re putting reconstructionists with vision and nerve in DC by the time we get there
And this is before people are really feeling the effects of the ACA subsidy cut.
Looks like TN-07 will end up around R+8, or a 13-point shift toward the Democrats from 2024.
What should worry Rs is that this one is hard to dismiss as a special election. It ended up nationalized, and turnout will be ~95% of 2022. It looked like a midterm general electorate.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

We need better language to describe, isolate, and shame people who publicly air these kind of violent masturbatory fantasies, because they only serve to coordinate heinous crimes against humanity
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

You people have got to stop saying this kind of thing. I’m sorry that 15 years ago a CS professor said something obnoxious in a faculty meeting but the idea that humanities degrees are “not tied to capitalism” while STEM degrees are is some of the purest bullshit I’ve ever seen in my life.

Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

If impeachment couldn't work against a defeated, out-of-power insurrectionary who put Congresspeople's lives in danger, there's no reason to think it would ever work. The Constitution thus lacks any functional way to get rid of a bad chief executive & so isn't even a minimally adequate plan of govt.

Team Trump justifies his endless parade of lawless actions as what Americans voted for but it clearly is not. He’s minus 25 and people hate everything he’s doing. There’s no support for any of this, let alone in the illegal manner it’s being imposed.
