“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Millions of people across the country are looking at their health insurance bills and saying, “I'm not going to be able to pay for my rent, groceries, or utilities and keep my insurance.”
Republicans took an already broken health care system and made it a whole lot worse.

The occupation of Minneapolis is an outrageous, criminal assault on an American city. @ryanlcooper.com goes through the origins of this in the mendacious hyping of unproven day care fraud, which immigration authorities don't police.

Secretary Noem must be impeached.
She has obstructed Congressional oversight, directly violated a court order, violated public trust, and engaged in corruption to enrich herself and close associates. She must be held accountable.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

All the talk of "balance" in journalism produced a culture where constant sane-washing of the right isn't just allowed, it's expected and required.
The news outlets that have so far covered this have omitted the description of the GoFundMe from the creator himself: "The stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved i made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money." /

If the Democratic Party doesn't support nationwide strikes, then how are they not active collaborators of fascism? The absence of action in the face of authoritarianism is literally a pro-authoritarian strategy, and if I'm wrong, then bring me ONE official Dem Party surrogate to explain it to me.

Vance is the embodiment of the cowardice and complicity in the GOP.
In a blink of an eye, Vance went from decrying Trump as a dangerous nut who would be "America's Hitler" to happily serving as his loyal little lickspittle. He can't be shamed, but he should still be insulted as often as possible.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.
What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP
He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
