If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

@ms.now "Me and my colleagues were in..." Really? From a WH correspondent? You've got journalists who struggle with middle school grammar?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I recently rewatched Logan’s Run (1976), and aside from thinking that Michael York deserved a better haircut, my big takeaway was that it was ahead of its time as an allegory for immigration policy in the US fifty years later. Searching for Sanctuary? Being chased by goons with guns?

An ICE Agent was BUSTED by Bloomington Police in "Operation Creep" trying to solicit sex from a minor. When arrested, he said "I'm ICE, boys."
That #FuckICE Agent is toast.

Nothing pisses off conservatives more than feeling like their tax dollars pay for "free stuff" for people who aren't working. Dems need to change the narrative - working people pay more than their fair share to give "free stuff" to billionaires, and their struggling neighbors can't catch a break.

Completing the White House Ballroom will create dozens, if not many dozens of jobs over the next two years, which won’t end until the ballroom is completed. And workers will almost certainly get most of the 260 million dollars expended on the project.

If [insert billionaire of your choice] tells you to vote for someone, that’s a pretty good indication that you should vote for someone else. Someone needs to tell that to the NY Times, who think we should all vote the way the CEO of an eyeglass company is voting.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Think about how much money Michael Bloomberg , DoorDash, and a ton of Trump donors spent to get Cuomo elected. Look it up and see who they are. And then, think of how those millions of dollars could be doing other, better things for people.
