Huh. Wow, really. That's tough.

So, uh, what are the Senate seats that become competitive in a D+15 environment? What about D+20? D+25?

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

This is the sort of pre-emptive attacks we need to see more of.

Telling those who pander to Trump NOW that their gains will be reversed THEN. Which makes the expected gains lower NOW, and thus lowers the incentives NOW to do the bad things.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not β€œan affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

One encouraging theme in last night's NC primaries is the simple fact that being pro-trans is now like being anti-ICE among Dem voters: to them, it means you're a fighter, it means you're not giving into Trump.

That's a really, really good sign.

I think this is significant. I've argued, from every rostrum I can find, that being pro-trans won't *hurt* a Dem. But there is now emerging evidence that being anti-trans *will*, good and recent evidence from the only poll that truly matters.

Once again, it's an auspicious sign.

The White House meeting comes as Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg has been leading Pentagon work in recent days on a supplemental budget request of around $50 billion that could be released as soon as Friday, one of the people said. The new money would pay for replacing the weapons used in recent conflicts including those in the Middle East.
The figure is preliminary and could change.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

most annoying thing about the stupid "huh have trans people tried being gay instead" take is that like, basically all trans people I have ever met have had mostly queer friends, would have been hard for them not to be aware of "gay" as an option on the table

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

It sounds like something the tough-but-snarky hero of an sf novel by someone like John Ringo would say.
