I always like to remind people in the 1988 campaign, Jesse got more delegates than Joe Biden. Biden dropped out before the primaries began in 1987 and Jesse would win states like South Carolina and Michigan.

Yeah they’ve been blatantly violating these rules for a while now.

If true, Sunny was illegally detained along with several other fellow travelers - both citizens and permanent residents - whose whereabouts are also unknown.

Where are they? Why won’t CBP answer?

I like how my guy here thinks they're dropping special bombs that only hit straight Iranians

Nobody should take messaging advice from me, but democrats might make a lot of mileage just by repeating facts about Iran like β€œit’s incredibly mountainous” and β€œthere are 90 million Iranians”

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

Yes, there’s reason to be happy Noem got demoted. And at the same time, it’s important to understand Mullin is no gift to America.

Hegseth's comments are a reminder that government isn't always eager to show the human cost to war Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has drawn negative attention for his comment that the press has emphasized casualties in the Iran war because it wants to make President Donald Trump look bad.

I would love it if we as an industry could be blunt and precise about what is happening. Trump is hiding the human cost of war and the media is helping. There's no good reason to soften it.

If you spend enough time reading the posts and responses of any given pro-Iran-war and pro-Israel people, you get a very strong sense that what they're actually doing is enjoying the idea of killing people and projecting power, and all their arguments are aligned to that goal.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

3 yrs ago I landed in Detroit the day before I was scheduled to close on a (long gone) house. I didn't end up closing for much longer. I've truly been housing insecure/overpaying for transportation this entire time.

I'm so happy to say this getting fully funded should fix the latter problem.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled β€œU.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

β€œImminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

BREAKING: Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don't want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.
Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out.

DHS accused Marimar Martinez of being a domestic terrorist

They said she rammed ICE agents & brandished a weapon

They tried to smear her after an agent shot her 5 times

The agent who shot her bragged β€œ5 shots, 7 holes”

Marimar survived & stood calmly in the gallery as Noem lied

She’s a hero

The Artistic Journey:

2021: celebrated as I published one of the best books of my career.

2025: watched Anthropic steal it, with millions of others, to train its model, without compensation.

2026: watched Anthropic sell that model, an AI killing machine, to the US government.

Human progress!

Oh god. Is *this* why GOP is OK with murdering school children & U.S. troops? To get Dems to fund DHS?

Note to Dave: Trump has gutted the entire natsec apparatus, the FBI, DNI, and no one will share Intel with us. Funding DHS does NOTHING but feed the mass deportation-for-profit machine.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

For those who may not understand what Tom is saying hereβ€” MI6 and the CIA orchestrated a coup in Iran in 1953.

"Have they ever been a bartender?" is probably the most useful heuristic you can use when deciding whom to vote for.

I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this

Please keep circulating this so that people who have $500 to spare see it

I’m trying to do something similar! My kids (15 and 12) are in to the idea too and it feels like a small place to find some respite from the craziness all around us. It’s a slower and feels like something from a different time right now.
