I'm surprised by the number of DM's I've gotten. I'm here to support Democracy and Dem's. I'm not looking for a gf, or investment opportunities. Unless there is something that you do not want everyone to see, avoid using DM's.

Gilchrist: Even if he had a goal that was in the interests of the people of Michigan, this is not the team I would trust to actually get it done. They’re so incompetent that they made a deal they claim is supposed to help American manufacturing—but it literally hurts Michigan manufacturers.

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

I watched a bit of the 50th anniversary parade in Vietnam celebrating victory over the US. Not only was that war stupid for us to involve our country but I had a glimpse of some young people who had their lives ruined.

Most countries have forgiven Germany and Japan for the atrocities of WWll. One exception is China. They hate Japan/Japanese. Chinese kids are raised to hate the Japanese even though most Chinese have never met a Japanese person.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.
