No worries. Thanks for drawing attention to it anyway. 👍

He's probably lucky it turned out the way it did ... Stephen Miller's goons may have been about to arrest him for the offense of not being 100% white.

Ironically, if you already have a free WaPo account, it's requiring a paid subscription to read. 😕

I would argue that recent immigrants have a much *bigger* stake b/c they've bet their future lives on America. Those who go back generations got what they have with no effort on their part and thus are more likely to take it for granted or not understand what they'll lose if it's taken away.

For her, it was never about actually doing the real work of be a real member of Congress like serving constituents, working on real bills, none of that. It was only ever about fame as measured in exposure on Faux News.

I'm confident that every scrap of my personal data held by the govt is now sitting in Musk's datacenters. And b/c he only hires people on the cheap, I have serious doubts about the skill level of any security engr. working at xAI; so it will soon be in the hands of every hacker group on the planet.

You're already seeing doctors in fields like OB/GYN and emergency med. practicing in red states with strict anti-abortion laws thinking about leaving over concerns that treating patients could risk legal jeopardy for themselves. Making healthcare less accessible to their voters is GOP orthodoxy. 😖

And then there's this. 🙄

He's finally beginning to realize that giving up his cushy Senate seat to daily grovel to the man who dubbed him "Little Marco" won't make him the heir apparent to the Oval Office. Why? Because JD Vance is just that much better at groveling.

Canada already has a program to fast track work visas for US healthcare workers. If there wasn't an incentive before now for nurses and others w/ these key skills to throw up their hands, cross the border, and let the healthcare system in this country continue to degrade, Trump just gave it to them.

Is it just me, or is Trump looking more and more like someone for whom a family member would ask police to perform a wellness check?

Public land grant universities with a mission to serve the residents of their respective states are the great economic equalizers. So of course Republicans and billionaires want to destroy them. 😖

I think those who always pair a cowboy hat with a suit have watched one too many reruns of "Dallas" and think they're the JR Ewing character. 🙄

What is the obsession these yahoos have with cowboy hats? 🤔

Vance is an evil troll who will say or do anything that personally benefits himself, but he's shrewd enough to know Trump is spiraling and could drag Vance down with him; so he's trying to lay the groundwork to disavow Trump when the time comes.

In college we'd sometimes avoid studying by playing "nuclear" Risk. Amazing how loose one gets with the launch codes after a few beers. Come to think of it, I now have even more reason to worry that Hegseth is in the nuclear chain-of-command. 😳
