Wait! Why are we allowing the worst of us to run the country into the ground? I keep forgetting.

Let/s not forget that we are The United States of America. We have one of the oldest functioning democracies on earth. We are not Hungary, or Russia where democracy was never mature. Rejecting tyrants is deep in our DNA. Burying our democracy will not be easy at all.

I think it can't be stressed enough that making a whole class of persons illegal is fundamental to authoritarian regimes. Let's not be fooled.

Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, draws a historical comparison to the Fugitive Slave Act and that of the ongoing ICE raids.

The Fugitive Slave Act brought our country to the precipice of the Civil War.

"Justice Alito said that he had refused to join the court’s order because “we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate.”

What principal! Better to allow them to be disappeared than issue an order at midnight.

Trump ready to throw up his hands on Ukranian negotiations. It's just too hard! Can we all agree that MAGA has no interest or competency in governing? It's just about breaking things and harming the most vulnerable. That's it.

Know what's weird? No MAGA rallies. Remember how he was always runnin' to do rallies in Trump 1?
Any ideas why that might have stopped??

I just need to be very clear:

All Glory to Ukraine!

Down Trump/Vance!

Hey Pete Hegseth! Just heard that you weighed in and decided that Ukraine shouldn't expect to keep it's sovreign territory.
Probably going over well on the Fox News Couch, but, for the rest of us, it's borderline treasonous and cowardice.

A nod to the Dems senators at the Kash Patel hearing. Very aggresive questioning and follow-ups. Even Corey Booker wasn't having it.
Seems like they got the memo. It's time to attack, attack, attack. These people are morons and will just fall right over. Their public support is paper thin.

Quick question for the experts here: When asked if she would prosecute Jack Smith, Bondi said she "would look at the file". What file is she referring to? Do Jack Smith and Liz Cheney have "files" at the DOJ??
