Amazing how quickly the pretext for invading a city just falls away. The circular justification in Minneapolis is now βwe are punishing the city for resisting our punishment.

MAGA's racism is BAD FOR BUSINESS.
South Korea launches a human rights violation investigation into the detention of its citizens & threatens to halt investments into the United States.
Thanks, MAGA Karen.

Saying it like it is
Ok, but you called Pritzker a liar, and were fundamentally incorrect.
The fact that you changed gears when corrected tells me you should be blocked.
Convince me otherwise.
So the US tax payers are now being forced to fund domestic terrorism, this can't be the real world!
He gave away our taxpayer dollars to a traitorβs family? Wtf???
An important reminder that measles vaccines save millions of lives every year across the world.
The measles vaccine is arguably the most life-saving vaccine in use.

The proposed farm bill is worse - they want to cut SNAP. There is, let me make this clear, no easier way to increase poverty and crime around the U.S. than to cut SNAP and make folks just trying to feed their kids desperate.

The House bill would penalize states that cover these people with state-only funds by cutting their Medicaid expansion match rates from 90 to 80 percent.
So Pritzker is not lying. You're just underinformed.
Medicaid has requirements that exclude many people who have lawful immigration status, including lawful permanent residents in their first five years in the United States. 14 states and D.C. use state dollars to cover some people who arenβt eligible for Medicaid due to their immigration status.
The problem with giving zealots and sociopaths what they want is that what they want is not coherent - but once they have power, they'll still enforce it.
That is, bad idea; once you give up the reins, they're hard to control the way you plan.
They're not mutually exlusive. But the Constitution makes an explicit point in the first amendment to separate the state from matters of faith - because you do not want politicians building a religion, and you do not want one brand of church capturing the state to the exclusion of the others.
On that Iran point... Maybe show people what Iran was like in the 70s. Extremist bizarre invented religious zealotry destroyed the greatest scientific culture. Women had rights. All the good stuff. But when leaders claim religions, it's all perverse weaponry to enforce their own will on everyone.
What the treaty shows is that not only did the framers know how dangerous it is to combine church and state, they knew that _avoiding_ that combination would go far to enable broader trade with countries of other religious origins.
Again, read the Constitution. And for a follow-up, read the Treaty of Tripoli.
The first amendment exists to protect public practice of religion, π’π―π₯ to make sure the state is well and goodly detached from religion. To separate them, so that the government couldn't tell you how to worship.
"its framers were deeply influenced by Judeo-Christian ethics"
Yes. And they codified the Constitution with those ethics, but zero reference to Judeo-Christian religion - because one of their other influences was the abuses enabled by having the British Monarchy and Church of England intertwined.
Very, very swampy.
Trumpβs proposal cuts SpaceX competitors out of the NASA budget and could add billions to the companyβs defense contracts.
@marcorubio.bsky.social Can't wait for you to ignore a subpoena regarding Garcia, you criminal piece of shit.
@marcorubio.bsky.social
Your hypocrisy is astounding. I don't remember you telling House and Senate Republicans to butt out when they followed Trump's lead and interfered with President Biden's foreign policy.
then he should be the first one ordered to court or face contempt charges
When you admit in front of everyone that you are engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
In short: "weaponized" is not a word you should throw around for "someone I like got called out on their bullshit". That's MAGA behavior.
