I picked up Red Dead Redemption (part 1) during the Steam sale, I'm glad that I did it was really enjoyable considering how old it is. I was a huge fan of Red Dead Redemption 2 and feel inclined to start a new playthrough now

PA Senator McCormick is running TV ads asking people to call and thank him for supporting tax cuts. Even if the working class were actually net-benefitting from anything he is supporting, why run ads asking for a thank you? It's so gross and delusional.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

I often joke that "everyone has their price" for pretty much anything, but I can say this with the utmost confidence: There is no amount of money you could pay me to stand in front of the world and lie to protect a group of pedophiles, and their front man.

1000% The most evil person you know doing the right thing for once because it benefits them DOES NOT excuse them being the most evil person you know otherwise.

Nothing MTG does will ever make me forgive her for the last 5 years. Nothing. That said, I will nod and tip my hat as she calls out her own party here. But make no mistake: she is not an ally.

Still waiting on those trickles down here

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

America, 1776: "No Kings" "Hell yeah, these people are heroes! Let's put their faces on the money and make a bunch of holidays, we're free baby!" America, 2025: "No Kings" "You hate America!!" So close to 250 years... #NoKings

They talk about Antifa like it's the Illuminati Like, no people are just generally against fascism. Maybe they should just rebrand it as Antipedo while demanding the release of the Epstein files

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I think we all already know how that will go, but it's a good point.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
