this is bullshit. His claims are based on crimes he committed that if he hadn't been elected to a second term, he would have gone to trial. He was IMPEACHED for one. The media doesn't mention that, but quotes him and his ridiculous defense as if it's real and reasonable.

Trump would like the government he leads to pay him billions
President Trump is asking the federal government for billions of dollars in damages, putting his own Justice Department on the spot and creating an unprecedented ethical morass.

Before we admit any Republican back into the country after traveling overseas, they must be vetted for their loyalty to the Constitution. Trump's entire cabinet would be landlocked.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

Another way to make life more affordable is by helping Illinoisans earn more. And one of those determinants is getting a good education that leads to a good-paying job. Never has getting a post-secondary degree been more important, but it’s historically too damned expensive.

Aside from the fact that property taxes are state taxes, Trump is ticking up his already almost perpetual stream of lies to capture the any vote by any means necessary. They don;t care how stupid these statements make them look if it gets the stupid ones to the polls.

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

This paper is a good example of how to carefully analyze tipping systems. (That many phenomena often lumped together as singular tipping systems are actually composites is probably a common characteristic.) Track carefully the extent to which this precision gets flattened in mass and social media.

Reports published today indicate that Russell Vought, who played a central and direct role in the dismantling and defunding of USAID is using $15 million of those same funds to pay for his personal security detail. This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, hands down.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
