Huh? It takes simple majority to overrule the chair?

Not the main point, but get a load of these losers:

"Mentalist Oz Pearlman is performing this year, replacing the usual comedian and avoiding a potential Trump roast."

Anyone who goes to this is a simp.

Two Iranian Women in ICE Detention Are Not, In Fact, Related to Qasem Soleimani, Documents Show After Laura Loomer pointed to two women she claimed were connected to the late Iranian military commander, they were arrested and remain in immigration detention. One is now gravely ill.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.

Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

Phelan’s firing comes after a rocky tenure under Hegseth and Feinberg, including tension over Phelan’s close relationship with President Trump, according to three people familiar with the internal discussions. Phelan regularly chats with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club, just down the street from his own Florida home, and told lawmakers last year that he texts with the president about shipbuilding in the middle of the night. The top Pentagon leaders were particularly annoyed last fall when Phelan pitched the idea for a modern battleship directly to Trump, bypassing Hegseth, the people said. 

According to the WSJ, Hegseth abruptly fired the Navy Secretary in the middle of a crucial wartime naval blockade because he was jelly of his closeness with Trump. These are the dumbest, most embarrassing, childish nitwits alive - and they are in charge of the world's most monumental military might.

Reform as the British arm of Ulster Unionism is the sort of thing you'd never put together naturally, but makes perfect sense.

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

The amount of federal government involvement in US business in the past 14 months is quite something.

U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve dropped 4.1 million barrels in the last week to 405 million barrels total and is now roughly 57.8% full

Redistricting is an inherently political issue. Even if Texas’s move triggers an arms race, the trend will not put American democracy on life support. One silver lining of the gerrymander wars is that they might remind Americans how much Congress should matter. The legislative branch has been increasingly passive as a policymaking body, serving primarily as a sword to investigate presidents or a shield to protect them. Time is better spent worrying about congressional fecklessness.

WaPo looking at Texas Republicans: don't worry your pretty little heads

WaPo looking at Virginia Democrats: I HAVE SEEN HELL

Evil. Fucking evil. Donald Trump is evil. He’s an evil human being.

under what law?

A poll he doesn’t like: “It’s a rigged poll.”

An election he loses: “The election was rigged. It was stolen.”

A court ruling that goes against him: “The entire process was rigged. Judge was unfair to me.”

Media coverage he doesn’t like: “Fake news. I’ll sue em.”

What a weak, pathetic, coward.

Republicans may lose both Congress and the White House in 2028. But if they can cause a long and deep economic downturn, they are likely to return to power in 2030 and 2032.

In that case, if Trump continues with his war, he will be violating the War Power Resolution—in addition to usurping Congress's authority under the U.S. Constitution.

Mississippi is the most racially polarized state in the union. Undecideds will almost all vote for the Republican.

(Reassuringly) No, see, this is like Vietnam

The undecideds are clearly white they aren't breaking for a Democrat

Demographics of Mississippi from wikipedia.

In order to understand Mississippi you need only compare those presidential election results to its demographics.

Was he counting Pope Joan?

This is how Nazis talk.

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

Jacob 'Bell, who teaches medieval history, is headed to the City University of New York, where he will “be teaching the exact same thing, but unredacted.” In order to keep his spring classes from getting held up in an opaque, monthslong course-review process' 2/3

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

She's leaving Congress to, uh, spend more time with her family, her ambassadorial dreams are ashes, her career is over, and maybe it's okay to stop asking her stuff
