Why there? A small island off the coast seems like an odd place for a supercharging station.

If AOC voted the other way (she did) then you're probaby on the wrong side of this. Crappy legislation to try to do a good thing isn't the same as solving a problem.

We're two months into this election year, and Trump has already killed 150 people and launched strikes against 44 boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, deposed the Venezuelan leader, menaced Greenland, occupied Minneapolis, mused about regime change in Cuba and Mexico, proposed canceling US elections, and launched a war of choice against Iran over the opposition of the vast majority of our country.

When the walls close in, authoritarians lash out.

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Chuck Schumer is utterly useless as a leader of the opposition. And since that's his only role at the moment, he must be removed.

What a travesty! The only real surprise here is that the bill doesn't mandate that all voters must be white.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

"trying to dissuade" is an extremely mild way of saying "shooting you dead"

We salute these VA workers for honoring #AlexPretti.

As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like."

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.

I just checkedβ€”it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Negotiating with terrorists is a bad idea. Pam Bondi should be told to fuck off.

Pretty sure Trump couldn’t give a shit about the people who happen to live in Greenland. He’ll just evict them.
