Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.

Trump started calling half the country Dumocrats. Someone pointed out dumb is spelled with a b, and Trump had to repeat his newfound knowledge at the very first opportunity.

BREAKING: Judge Waverly Crenshaw dismisses indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia based on selective and vindictive prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

wait. so let's see if i get the narrative straight. January 6 was a peaceful protest? the people who attacked cops and shit all over the Capitol were antifa/democrat plants? sooooooooooo Trump is going to reward Democrat plants with a $1.6 billion slush fund? 🤔

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

And then there's this: The settlement gets sweeter for Team Trump In a newly-posted, one-page document, the Justice Dept details that it is now prohibited from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family in the future Signed by Todd Blanche

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

I could not, would not fight you there. I would not fight you anywhere. Not in a house, or flower pot, Not in a Hampton Inn parking lot.

love to base my analysis on the existence of an imaginary trump administration capable of finding a face saving negotiated outcome

Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social

The conversation below this post is a good datapoint indicating that many Americans on the liberal and left end of the spectrum are so consumed with hatred of Trump that they would rather see the world burn so that he gets humiliated than a stable negotiated outcome where both sides save some face

The 10 minute video associated with this still photo clearly shows Trump nodding off multiple times and then making an effort to stay awake We need a constitutional amendment that gives the people the power to remove a sitting president if Congress refuses to do the job. This is getting ridiculous

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
