We don't allow banks to call themselves the U.S. Treasury Investment Fund. We don't allow anyone to call themselves USPS Plus.

So why allow insurance companies to call private insurance Medicare Advantage? (1/2)

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Hegseth is not prepared or suitable for this moment.

That’s never been more true than now.

And the whole world can see it.

Especially our enemies.

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

The problem with a president telling blatant lies about even small stuff is that it makes it hard to believe anything they say when it comes to important shit. Especially war. I don't believe a single goddamn war update Trump puts out until it's verified independently.

This certainly justifies regime change. In the U.S. All MAGA R's need to go. Trump has committed the most grievous breach of Constitution (well, since Jam. 6).

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

Buttigieg: β€œJD Vance is gonna have a lot of work to do if he’s gonna be the new fraud czar…Given the fraud convictions of the Trump organization, Trump figured out that he should outsource the investigation to somebody else in the administration. I’m a little worried about what’s in store.”

I'm not here to preach but I will just remind you that Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. So you don't have to help him.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

The electorate was ok with electing someone with obvious dementia, so they should be fine with a President with dyslexia.
