Cascadia Forever. Bring the receipts for your claim or own your opinion, don't confuse the two. Democrat because I believe in science, equal access to education, the environment, compassion, diversity, and appropriate taxation. V.Frankl had a point.

It was entirely predictable but if Kamala D. Harris randomly conjured up a battleship on a wholly unrealistic timeline with weapons not actually in production with the same cost as a carrier, these guys would be hurling slurs not seen since reconstruction, instead it’s just:

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. We all know why. That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies. It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

I’d think what you’d want during a highly volatile, politically polarized time marked by violence is a president who can appeal to our common values and humanity and inspire calm and unity, rather than promising revenge. If you cared about the collective well-being of the country, that is

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Where is the outrage when a trans kid dies by suicide after being bullied? Where is the outrage for Virginia Giuffre? Where is the outrage for the people kidnapped due to their skin color and in ICE detention? Where is the outrage for Melissa Hortman? Where is the outrage for the Capitol police?

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax. Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes. (Published Dec. 2024)

Sen. Wyden: This witness has lied to members of the Committee. I think it's unfortunate that I have to do this, but given the unprecedented nature of his behavior, I ask that the committee formally swear in RFK Jr as a witness. GOP Senator: I will personally object and will reject your request

something that drives me nuts is how legacy media will write that "scholars question legality" of a trump administration action when there is not a shred of evidence that it is in fact legal. it leaves room for the federal government to manufacture a legal justification when literally none exists.

This is truly chilling... "Despite Tuesday’s display of contrition, Judge Young, 84, who was confirmed as a federal judge before either of the justices who had scolded him started law school, said the justices’ rebuke was like nothing he had seen in nearly five decades as a judge."

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,

Trump had foreign models working for his agency w/o proper documentation. Trump Model Management profited from using foreign models who came to US on tourist visas that did not permit them to work here. Others said Trump never obtained work visas for them at all. Let's hear Noem explain that.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.
