We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

I remember when Republicans were going crazy over the bank bailout because the US temporarily gained a stake in private companies to secure the bailout loans. Seems the problem for them was the democrats, not the action

I have no idea how many people get their news from Foxnews.com rather than the cable channel, but those people would have no idea — none — that there were any protests today against the President. The only even tangentially related story I found on the home page: www.foxnews.com/us/gov-newso...

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

Sat next two members of American horror story at a restaurant and asked how their dessert was (also had no idea who they were at the time, have never seen the show)

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

Might be a lesson here somewhere about outsourcing capacity for key government services to a guy who lives in a lair under a volcano

For some reason I’m currently thinking of an Andrzej Sapkowski line modified for a Witcher 3 trailer: “Evil is evil. Greater, lesser, middling. Makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary, the definitions blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another…I’d rather not choose at all”

If only there’d been a way to know this was going to happen. Oh, wait

A Mother's Day meltdown by the owners of Stone Cellar Bistro (outside Denver) after they ask a nursing mom to stop breastfeeding in their restaurant (her right under CO law!) because they're worried about getting negative online reviews—which gets them negative online reviews

Only the Trump administration would declare an energy emergency then also eliminate programs that reduce energy use.

The Trump Administration lies about the law, and it lies about the facts. The administration lies about EVERYTHING.

At the rate Trump is saving lives from fentanyl, death will cease to exist by August!

It is true that the government, which is bound by the Constitution's requirement that it provide due process, is expected to behave better than criminals.

First off, what the heck is that even supposed to mean? It's just smashing together two unrelated things. Second, this stuff is insulting to Ms. Riley's memory. Mr. Abrego's case has nothing to do with her, why invoke her name except to use it as a weapon; an emotional cudgel.

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...
