He should issue an apology immediately and then resign in disgrace

I work with and have taught some incredible people who are Marines. This makes me sick. The senator should resign in disgrace!

Donald seems to be good at two things:

1. Conning people
2. Making enemies

Not sure if this is intended for me or one of the other commenters, but let’s be real. Since when is asking someone to do their job better β€œbashing” them?

Democrats say they can’t do anything because Republicans control Congress. Is that true?

I understood exactly what you meant cuz I called my senator on 1/6 of this year (had to check my notes) and demanded he obstruct everything in every possible way. This video was my guidebook for those demands. We should all demand the same!

That’s fair and I agree with your assessment

What are the causes of this? What are some plausible solutions?

I realize it’s deeply complicated and incredibly disheartening. And it’s also a major reason we got here

PS - apologies if my hastily written skeet was somewhat glib

Anybody who can read should be able to discern the stance of NYT. Years ago I was looking at articles from NYT about the revolutionary conflicts in Latin America and the chauvinistic, rightwing bias was right there for anyone to see, going back to the late 1800s

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been β€œinundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Congress has not just enabled this: they have created the conditions for this to thrive

Why else would we have ballooned the Pentagon’s budget so much? DT, PH, SM, etc have billions at their disposal, already appropriated and fueling the war machine. They don’t need Congress anymore

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Sleepy owl found resting among items on a New York antique store shelf Shoppers in upstate New York month turned up a rare find while perusing a local antique store this month: a live owl resting peacefully among items on a shelf.

This isn't really important, what with the war and all, but it did make me feel a little better and maybe it will make you feel better too

It’s what they always say. Many have pointed out how R’s in red states will say things like β€œelect us so we can fix the mess” even though they’ve been in charge for many years and created the mess

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

Somebody should tell smarty pants that horses don’t breathe thru their mouths, only thru their nostrils

Relatedly, I would likely pay money to see him get kicked trying this supposed method

@judiciarydems.senate.gov

FYI - having Dick Durbin as your avatar does the opposite of instilling confidence in Dems like me. He’s on his way out to retirement and his recent track record is weak and disappointing, to say the least. Surely you guys have some young staffers with better ideas?
