i think these folks genuinely believe this is the only way to save the country. it is not the first time people have decided that to save the country it's necessary to have a minority accept their dehumanization.

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% | CNN Business Hiring at US businesses unexpectedly plunged last month as employers shed an estimated 92,000 jobs, according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

If only there were some warning that exactly all of this would happen.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Colorado is starting to wrestle with the data center issue as well, and we tend to think that at a minimum they should pay their own way when it comes to electricity costs and hold residential consumers harmless.

Besides the fact that this is just observably untrue; in an alternative universe where Kamala Harris was appointing Peter Welch to a cabinet position does anyone think for even one second that Markwayne Mullin wouldn't be first in line to chuck him under the bus?

Republican-led House declines to constrain Trump's war in Iran, just as Senate did Most Democrats and a few Republicans voted for war powers resolutions that would have required President Donald Trump to get congressional approval for further military action.

No one in this country wants another endless war. Trump & his administration are wildly incompetent.

That's why I voted for the War Powers Resolution to reaffirm Congress's constitutional authority to declare war & rein in this rogue president who consistently undermines the rule of law.

Measles cases in Broomfield now an outbreak, unvaccinated students at two schools sent home for 21 days Unvaccinated students and staff at Broomfield High School and Broomfield Heights Middle School have been told to stay home for 21 days.

Wild take: if you don't vaccinate your kids against the fucking measles, they shouldn't get to go to school with ours.

If the whole internet went back to AOL instant messenger, livejournal, tumblr and limewire that would solve a lot of problems

What you need to know about Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump's new pick to lead DHS President Trump announced Thursday that Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is his pick to replace Kristi Noem as the head of the Department of Homeland Security.

it is physically impossible to take someone named markwayne seriously

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

yes well we understand they go everywhere together

The most corrupt DHS secretary in our history. Good riddance.

BREAKING: ICE has been holding children and seniors in inhumane and secretive holding rooms in Colorado.

Today, I led colleagues in calling for immediate oversight.

The Trump administration's brutality will not go unchecked.

Not a single Democrat in the Colorado legislature says Jared Polis should reduce Tina Peters’ sentence. He appears set to do it anyway. The Colorado Sun asked every Democrat in the legislature Wednesday whether Polis should offer Peters clemency after the governor all but said on social media Tuesday that he plans to do so

Tina Peters should serve out her sentence for the crimes she committed against our state, our elections system, and the voters who entrusted her with the power she abused. That's it.

Neguse absolutely cooked this corruption queen.

Secretary Noem must be impeached.

Holy crap. Where do you live if you don't mind us asking?

Noem never says "no"

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

We're all pretty lucky the idiots trying to do fascism are too fucking stupid to do fascism.

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Nancy Mace to be happy that she just helped hand Pam Bondi a richly deserved bipartisan subpoena

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Bettors wagered $54 million on Khamenei’s death. Now they’re not getting paid. Kalshi, a prediction market site, has sparked outrage after freezing $54 million in bets on the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing a rule against profiting from death.

This shit should be made illegal immediately (and honestly we thought it already was)

Get this shit the fuck out of our state

Now Cornyn and Paxton will be knifing each other from now until the runoff on May 26, spending all their resources and embittering their camps while Talarico has the opportunity to crisscross the state, unite the anti-MAGA majority, and win.

These turnout numbers in Texas are buck wild. More people voted in the democratic primary for US Senate than voted in the Republican primary. There's a direct correlation between primary and general turnout. Texas can absolutely flip this cycle.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
