Actually, they did. That’s why they created the Electoral College.

What they never anticipated was elected officials from one of the two major political parties being this stupid.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, an uber conservative stalwart on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for decades, just made almost verbatim the same point Justice Sotomayor has been making, most recently in her statement in the Abrego-Garcia case.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Officeβ€”he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Officeβ€”he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

2 more Ohio State international students report visas revoked amid Trump purge The total number of Ohio State students with revoked visas is now seven, although the situation is fluid and others could also have lost their visas.

This is a travesty. No due process. No cause given. No easy path to contest. Come on! The US is better than this. www.dispatch.com/story/news/e...

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

Can we get more of this? β€œThe Japanese American National Museum will β€˜scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI.

β€œOur community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
