I am dead serious when I say that if one of the most vulnerable people in the country can do this with the right allies, no fight in American politics is completely hopeless.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

Translation: "Zelenskyy is refusing to sacrifice his country to make me look good so I can win a prize, and if he keeps it up, I'm going to punish him for it. I will only pretend to care if I think I can get a win and something to brag about."
Trump on Ukraine: there’s a meeting on Sat. We’ll see whether or not we attend the meeting. They want us to attend. And we’ll be attending the meeting in Europe if we think there’s a good chance, and we don’t want to waste a lot of time. We think it’s negative. We want it to get settled.

At what point did being completely wrong start counting as an “opinion”? Claiming vaccines cause autism isn’t an opinion. It’s utter bullshit. And then they say, “Well, that’s my opinion, you have to respect it.” No. I don’t have to respect stupidity. Fuck off.

He keeps looping about wars he stopped and his cognitive tests. And I say even if it is remotely true ( it’s not ) a President shouldn’t be begging for validation on an app.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Convicted sex-trafficker worked directly with an FSB officer who ran Putin's elite St. Petersburg Economic Forum. We have their emails

Epstein's end of the deal was recruiting Western elites to Putin's forums. He promised to bring LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, Microsoft's Nathan Myhrvold, billionaire Thomas Pritzker, former Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Some of them actually showed up.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

it is also just hilarious to insist that eight months of rush job “scholarship” outweighs decades of settled history and 140 years of settled law
Giving the game away. he has more “scholarly ammunition” than he did in January because a bunch of professional bootlicks and liars who have never had real jobs started lying about birthright citizenship in January.

Instead of waking up and doing the right thing for Americans, he’s bellyaching about why we aren’t grateful for the stock market that we’ve watched him manipulate for his rich buddies with his on-and-off tariffs.
