Rage, my fellow Americans, rage against the dying of the light!
Well done, Mr. Nix, and well said.
Bo Nix shows heart and spine. We need more men like him to call out orange piggy’s sexism. Better yet… we need *all* men to step up. Women are tired. Enough is enough. If he can speak up, so can every guy watching. Do better. Stand up. Speak out.

So the cash coming to all but the richest Americans from the DOGE savings and the gazillions from tariffs isn’t arriving in time for the holiday season.

Pity.

With Congress cowed, history will have good things to say about judges who refuse to be.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

And one of them is president of the United States. Everything about the man and his administration is criminal.

Come on, MAGA, you can do it. Wake up from the nightmare of lies.

What next? "Target stand-alone tax increases unambiguously focused on ultrarich households and corporations as the first priority of fiscal policy."

I understand why the Felon hates PBS. He is shamed by the decency he lacks. He sees kindness as weakness. He will never be fit to shine the late Mr. Rogers' shoes.

OK, now that the Felon is on board, let's make sure it's all there.

Attorney General John Mitchell served time at the federal prison in my hometown, Montgomery, Alabama. See you soon, Pam.

If you believe your eyes and ears in the days to come, bear in mind that your felonious president considers you a bad and stupid Republican. See no evil. Hear no evil. Keep your mouth shut.

But, you know, I'm thinking: Not this time. Not this time.

Once the rapist is shown the door (if not to the jail cell he deserves, then to the dustbin reserved for America's worst president), we have one hell of a restoration project confronting us.

I’ve described this administration’s cruelty as casual, gleeful and deliberate, and I’ve seen umpteen others do it better in multitudinous memes.

The self-important, pompous ass in the White House is a petulant child-man.

I’m sick of it. America is better than this.

No scandal, no indignity rubbed in America's face, has overcome his impunity. He knows this will do it.

Believe it or not, there's a great deal about Alabama to love. And like good people everywhere, the good people here aren't giving up.
