Of the roughly 600,000 immigrants deported over the last year, 435,000 of them COMBINED have 34 fewer felony convictions than Trump.

That was a good answer from Martin, but why do we never see Democrats respond to stupid questions from Republicans like Nehls by saying the people getting their student loans forgiven are people who have already paid off the principle? No taxpayer is being taken advantage of by this.

When DOGE decides to terminate consulting contracts, they are only looking at the project description. One of our contracts was terminated because it said we would be “working with a diverse group of stakeholders”. Guess what ‘woke’ keyword triggered the cancellation. These guys are idiots.

The customer experience part of the $3.5M contract was mine. I’m sure DOGE only read the sentence they quoted and didn’t bother to find out about the efficiencies and cost savings created from our effort. Such smug d-bags.

DOGE just terminated my consulting project where we made processes more efficient and reduced costs. No one will ever be able to tell me their effort is about increasing efficiency.

Their goal is to blow the whole thing up to permanently govern under MAGA rules and only MAGA rules.

Either Trump truly thinks transgender and transgenic are the same, or he is intentionally revving up the outrage machine for the base.

None of this is about governing.

What is the end game here? Is all of this so Trump can build his precious Trump Moscow hotel?

Putin clearly has conditions and we are seeing them being played out. Trash NATO countries, scold Zelenskyy, and hey, let’s share Greenland.

Chris Rock once described Hollywood as being “sorority racist”. He said it’s subtle, like a black girl going through sorority recruiting. “We like you, we just don’t think you’re Kappa material.”

And that, in a nutshell, is why DEI is important. It’s about all of us understanding our biases.

vanhollen.senate.gov out here speaking my language of common sense and kindness, and lack thereof.

Scott Jennings has that effect on people

So, the Bishop preaching about treating people with kindness is the problem, but questioning Native American’s citizenship is the Lord’s work? Please.

Elon didn’t just casually do the Sieg Heil twice. He really put his back into it.

Trump and his MAGA political minions are only interested in scaring Americans into believing their terrible lot in life is because of what “others” are doing to them.

Unfortunately, many Americans also believe that means the GOP will help them, even though they will never have a plan to help them.

Hungary is Trump’s blueprint. Orbán is his inspiration.

Trump won’t overthrow democracy by military force, but through control of media and the courts (already happening) and going after civil servants and his enemies (which he has promised to do).

We are the frog in boiling water.

Mike Johnson talks about “mistakes” and “dereliction of duty” related to the LA fires, and making aid conditional.

His carefully calculated response is viewed by MAGA as confident intelligence. But really it’s just disingenuous, cruel, and miles away from the Christ he likes to say he follows.

Democratic politicians are not great at taking credit for positive outcomes they are responsible for. Republican politicians are great at taking credit for positive outcomes they had nothing to do with.

Jessica Tarlov goes into the lion’s den and does the Lord’s work. Whatever she’s paid, it’s not nearly enough.

Brian Schatz to Democrats: Please, Stop With 'Center' and 'Making Space' As the Hawaii senator charts his path up the Senate hierarchy, he reflects on his party’s major challenges.

Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) uses common sense.

“If you’re talking about the question of are people pissed about the price of eggs, the answer is flatly yes they are. Not, ‘Don’t you know people are paying more in Paris and shouldn’t you be happy about that.”

In 2015, Steve Bannon knew he had to keep the issues very simple for Trump to understand. “Build a wall to keep illegals out”.

When you’re dealing with someone with a 200-word vocabulary, these are the tactics you use. But what does that say about our electorate?

With Russians financing Trump’s debt and his continued desire to build a tower in Moscow, Putin has had Trump right where he wants him for quite some time.
Putin: “Destabilize NATO”.
Trump: “Yes, sir.”
Putin: “Tell everyone your intelligence agencies are corrupt.”
Trump: “Yes, sir.”

Trump likes to think he’s a great negotiator. He’s not. He only goes into a negotiation if he already has a position of power.

Fake smart guy. Fake tough guy.

For countries like Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and many others, caring for people is built into the fabric of those societies. Not so for the US.

We are built on a look-out-for-yourself mentality. Things like masking up in a pandemic or making sure kids are fed are tragically controversial.

Fox doesn’t care that they’re lying to their audience on a daily basis. It’s about money, not the truth. It’s about scaring people.

It’s never, ever about how great Republicans are because they have no good ideas for making our country better.

This is exactly right! The old ways don’t work anymore.

And we need to hammer on correcting GOP lies that have been told so often that too many take them as fact (e.g., vaccines are bad for you, tariffs will help us, illegal immigrants commit a high rate of crime, the 2020 election was stolen).

I love your starter packs! I would be honored to be included in any future packs of yours.

This is a great starter pack from @yodamonkey2.bsky.social! Check it out.

Thank you Linda!

Biden should preemptively pardon the January 6 committee and say, “I am pardoning them not because they are guilty, they clearly are not. I simply do not trust Trump, Kash Patel, and the Republican activist judges who might be involved in this ridiculousness to do the legal and right thing.”

Where were all of these people on November 5?
