What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

the chiefs have 96 total yards on offense and the game's not even over yet. i figure if they can get to 100 yards, that's a football field's worth, so that basically counts as a win

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

bizarre that warning the ruling class about the ruling class hegemony enforcement squad's methods didn't result in change

Reupping my piece from August about the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in Senatobia, MS, and the community that has fought for accountability to no avail. A horrible case, whose details have only been revealed thanks to independent reporting, especially via @mississippitoday.org.

i'm only against medicare for all because "all" includes billionaires. i'd rather not a single person get any healthcare than see a single billionaire get 1 cent of government assistance with their healthcare. which candidate represents me?

every single week i am nothing short of amazed by what the nfl red zone channel is able to pull off. logistically speaking it's a brilliant feat of engineering. 22 guys on the field, probably two or three costume changes per minute. astounding

Pete Fry is Vancouver’s next Mayor. He will be the first Green Mayor in Vancouver and the first Green Mayor of a major city in all of Canada.

“n.c.a.a.”? “w.n.b.a.”? “m.l.b.”? after i’m finished watching all of today’s sports, i’m going to need a “n.a.p.”!

democrat presidents should be young and also get 20 year terms, it takes a long time to build shit. repubs should get 1 month terms it takes barely any time at all for them to burn everything down

You can't solve this by shopping. Calling the hotel direct won't fix it: they have to be on Expedia to survive, and to be on Expedia, they have to sign up for VIP service, and to keep VIP service, they have to make their prices higher everywhere.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

whenever trump's DOJ has to go in front of a judge to get yelled at, every lawyer on here is like "omg i've NEVER seen a judge this mad, if a judge yelled at me like this i'd immediately commit seppeku," and then at the end of the hearing the judge is like "ok no sanctions just don't do it again"

@elonhitlerlol42069.bsky.social dear president musk, why won't you commit to covering mars in datacenters? have you contracted the woke mind virus? thanks.

That’s it. That’s all. She never claimed Cherokee ancestry to get a job or a grant or in any official document or bio. Some recipes for a cookbook put out by a small museum. And 14 years later these guys are still snickering about it.

Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies. Si Newhouse, noting the brisk sales, recommend that Random House publish “The Art of the Deal,” which led to “The Apprentice.” Hence this presidency.

These were identical trips, loaded via identical referrer URLs. The difference was that in the browser where Air Canada knew that I was an extremely loyal and prolific customer, they had whacked me with a *44.8% premium* to punish me for my loyalty!

"Nobel Prize? More like Trump deserves the *Ig*-noble prize! Hi, I'm Chuck Schumer." "And I'm Hakeem Jeffries. Americans are tired of Trump's rhetoric. It's time to reach across the aisle and compromise. Will you chip in five dollars today so we can write him a letter?"
