She doesn't want to have to campaign for the midterms as a GOP loyalist and then be stained by a disaster. Once she sees failure coming , she wants out immediately.

If the Republicans have decided that they want to die on the hill that troops should obey illegal orders and that encouraging them not to is a threat to Trump's defense policy, then I say let them.

The pedophilic wannabe-dictator wants you to be too scared to be willing to stand In these trying times it's critically important to remember that courage is not the absence of fear Courage is taking a stand despite the fear Don't fight it or hide from it, let it pass through you and motivate

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

The American Psychiatric Association did review it and it was so scathing that no reputable journal would ever have published this report with such glaring conflicts of interest, methodological flaws, and a refusal to even name the authors. The Endocrine Society and AAP declined to engage w/ it.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you: Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation. How about we end that?

Gutting and politicizing the FBI is a win-win for this administration. If we get attacked because we’re vulnerable, it’s just another opportunity to crack down on dissent and consolidate power.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Please stop sending us the videos of extremely uninformed and misinformed folks crashing out over a Sheriff operation in WeHo weeks ago. No, it wasn't ICE. No, LE doesn't necessarily need a warrant to arrest someone lawfully. Yes, it's 100% on ICE that everyone is so justifiably paranoid.

There are plenty of concrete good things that will happen because of winning these elections, but the intangible might even be bigger. Trump is going to issue a lot of illegal orders in the coming months and years. Nights like tonight might determine whether those orders get followed.

In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea for voters to put the full force of the US state apparatus and military in the hands of a guy who bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any support, and who was also granted immunity by the Supreme Court before taking office.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
