Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution explicitly requires supporting a Postal Service; another part of Section 8 requires supporting an Army and Navy. Eliminating the USPS is as unconstitutional as eliminating the Army and Navy.

How many 20-somethings have gone to a mall food court, let alone one with a Panda Express? Especially if they’re a NY’er? I mean, the first time my NYC kid had Domino’s Pizza was in a small town in southeastern India when visiting relatives who wanted to make him feel at home!

The correct answer: “The protestors are 35 feet away from Mr Kavanaugh’s home. If that’s not a problem for women’s health clinics, not sure what Mr Kavanaugh is objecting to.”

@POTUS
strongly believes in the Constitutional right to protest. But that should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.

Shh! Don't tell anyone, but as a liberal, I will feel totally owned if anti-vax Trump supporters get vaccinated and protect themselves, their families, and their communities from a deadly virus.

Short of assassinating a couple of GOP SCOTUS judges, what did you have in mind? Expanding court required Manchin & Sinema, and they were unwilling to get on board with that.
Perhaps the biggest risk-calculation/moral dilemma of the war so far. A massive Russian convoy is abt 30 miles from Kyiv. The US/NATO could likely destroy it. But that would be direct involvement against Russia and risk, everything. Does the West watch in silence as it rolls?
@JohnFugelsang
Why is church attendance collapsing? It’s because the VAST majority of practicing Christians, such as Harrison Butker, support this guy’s boss, Donald Trump. Handing counterfeits to poor people, hoping they get arrested, that’s what Jesus would do, right?
Johnny McEntee, senior advisor to Project 2025 & Trump’s Director of the Office of Personnel Management, says he likes to distribute fake money to homeless people so that they will be arrested when they spend it.
This is disgusting and illegal.

Good news! We have them. Juneteenth and Indigenous People's Day. No doubt folks whose history in this country pre-dates the Mayflower (or pre-dates the written word) will be pleased to have the support of newcomers like Mr. Girdusky.
When Republicans say 13 year olds can't handle sex ed but can handle a pregnancy, you have to understand that their goal is for 13 year olds to be pregnant.

We all know 4 SCOTUS justices will buy this argument and rule that Trump is above the law. The only question is whether John Roberts will also agree that we are no longer a nation of laws.
This is taking off: A Florida county's ugly decision to ban Nora Roberts books from schools is making national news. Here's Roberts on "Good Morning America."

I wish they had said "when x% are vaccinated, your county can go mask-less" rather than this blanket statement. And that "x%" has kids in the denominator. Or at least kids 12-15 in the denominator.

Still, it's big that these local outbreaks of reactionary panic are now making national news. The book bans, the expulsions of Dems who dare to resist, the endless culture-war cruelties -- they're becoming big stories. That's good for liberalism, I argue:
Alex Berenson is accusing me of using "a red-flag libel word" because I said he lied on FoxNews about

. He demands I provide evidence of these lies (though lol—he didn't take issue for all the other ways I've said he's full of shit).
Well, you asked for it, Alex.

Actually, I think we should encourage this. If a GOP official cannot truthfully take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the state they are in, they should, indeed, must resign. And if there are no Republicans who can truthfully take this oath, oh well.
Sabrina Warner, who ousted former Attorney General Betty Montgomery from her seat on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee in 2022, has resigned her seat. She cited the passage of Issue 1.

media will blame Democrats; “Democrats knew that supporting vaccination and masking would force Republicans to be against public health since conservatives have no agency or free will and can only act to own the libs.”

You should tell such patients: “You didn’t trust us when we told you to get vaccinated. Now that you are sick, why do you trust us now? Maybe you should go get healthcare elsewhere from people you do trust.”

@Freeyourmindkid
Folks need to grow up. As a progressive POC, I am fine with giving John Kaisch 5 lousy minutes to tell people to vote against Trump. After January, fight to make Biden/Harris admin policies better, but remember Trump admin 2 will destroy all that you love.
