There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...

Look, we can't just accept "boys will be boys" for an answer here. We're taking a hard line this time: a just barely plausible justification as to WHY the boys are being boys.

People conveniently forget that the ultra-wealthy would love nothing more than to move to Estonia, make their whole family learn a Finno-Ugric language, and incorporate Mulgikapsad into their diet. Sure, they may not have a Cipriani but it's a small sacrifice the rich are definitely willing to make.

Stephen Colbert Just Gave the FCC a Free Lesson About the Streisand Effect CBS and the FCC are once again trying to control the Late Show host. So far, it's backfiring spectacularly.

I wrote about Colbert, Carr, and why banning a late-night interview might be a win for both sides.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

New: Sen. CURTIS says he’ll oppose nomination of Jeremy Carl for State Dept post, which will sink it in committee

β€œI find his anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about the Jewish people unbecoming of the position for which he has been nominated,” Curtis says

The anti-Black racism was fine, but the anti-Israel rhetoric is where he drew the line. This is the Republican "principled" opposition to Trump

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

An au courant mention goes to his small turn in Brett Ratner's Rush Hour 2 but the undersung Piven I always come back to is this Travel channel India documentary from 2006 youtu.be/-Ke4mH7c_Fk?...

This is almost a parody of corporate liberal thinking

Like there was an orphan-crushing machine being distributed to all 50 states by the Republicans, and the Democrat response is a bill limiting the number of orphans that can be crushed
