Setting aside the anti-Asian racism for a moment, the reason why the memes of Leavitt as a North Korean news anchor are so problematic is that NK woman is 2nd to 4th gen living under the Kim family dictatorship, a country that has no history of democracy. +
FOX: You said the follow up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

I was at Target (not shopping!) Friday morning 8-10am. The parking lot was half empty. Maybe ~100 people in and out of the store. It looked like a random Tuesday afternoon ~2019.
They are in a death spiral and those swag bags only accelerated it.

I desperately wish the WH press corps saw themselves as representing the interests of the American public and when the Trump is that disrespectful to them, he is, by extension, disrespecting all of us who are *entitled* to transparency and factual information from the office of the presidency.

I initially thought this was about children's names because when I was a young child, my dad would bet with me. And because I was a child and had nothing of value, he "allowed" me to wager the rights to name my children.
He planned for me to have twin girls and name them Poly and Ester.

We all should start saying that Trump is an illegitimate president due to the 14th Amendment’s plain text and his pardons are null and void
dems should start saying that presidential pardons dont apply to international war crimes and in fact implicate the president, no idea if thats true but they should start saying it

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"
