Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.
I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

At some point we’re going to shift from the jubilance of watching the GOP going down in flames to actually surveying the wreckage of this period and all I can say is that we better be fucking sure we’re putting reconstructionists with vision and nerve in DC by the time we get there
And this is before people are really feeling the effects of the ACA subsidy cut.
Looks like TN-07 will end up around R+8, or a 13-point shift toward the Democrats from 2024.
What should worry Rs is that this one is hard to dismiss as a special election. It ended up nationalized, and turnout will be ~95% of 2022. It looked like a midterm general electorate.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

ICE won’t tell anyone where 6-year-old Yuanxin is. He was separated from his dad at a mandatory check-in. The cruelty is unfathomable & makes us all unsafe. We must fight for freedom from fear & tyranny. We must abolish ICE & reunite all families separated by ICE.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

We need better language to describe, isolate, and shame people who publicly air these kind of violent masturbatory fantasies, because they only serve to coordinate heinous crimes against humanity
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

You people have got to stop saying this kind of thing. I’m sorry that 15 years ago a CS professor said something obnoxious in a faculty meeting but the idea that humanities degrees are “not tied to capitalism” while STEM degrees are is some of the purest bullshit I’ve ever seen in my life.

thinking of that quote from gustavo petro about how columbia first has to do functioning capitalism before it can do socialism
Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

If impeachment couldn't work against a defeated, out-of-power insurrectionary who put Congresspeople's lives in danger, there's no reason to think it would ever work. The Constitution thus lacks any functional way to get rid of a bad chief executive & so isn't even a minimally adequate plan of govt.

With all due respect, this is EXACTLY the wrong question. "How do we get through the next 3 years" implicitly takes out of consideration the idea that this gang could be removed from power before the term ends.

Team Trump justifies his endless parade of lawless actions as what Americans voted for but it clearly is not. He’s minus 25 and people hate everything he’s doing. There’s no support for any of this, let alone in the illegal manner it’s being imposed.
