She's great! She is supposed to be on the show to talk about her campaign, but this bill will hurt her state and its residents, so she talks about that first, and with real passion. Unlike GOP politicians, she puts the people first!
Polish Detroiter in Baltimore, liberal, politics junkie, recently retired history & AP gov teacher, grandma, lawyer, cat lady. Go Tigers, Wolverines & Lions! Impeach & remove the Orange Felon & his entire administration of stupid goons!

None of Vance's racist xenophobic crap is surprising. But, what really got me here was his statement that Democrats could learn FROM TRUMP how to laugh at opponents' insults? When has the Orange Cheeto Felon ever laughed at anything, let alone what others say about him? Thinnest skinned person ever!
Chuck Todd is indeed a moron! He would make a stupid point and then sit there smugly. He never asked follow-ups or challenged his guests. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I had MTP on one Sunday, and during the show, my elderly cat died. The last voice that poor animal heard was Todd’s!
I’m tired of MAGA assholes like Gym Jordan saying Biden coulda shoulda released the Epstein files. Trump made that a big campaign issue, promising his cult members, who wanted to see Dems in the files, that he would release them. No one was talking about this before Trump was. Now, he won’t do it.
Isn’t the Trump Administration killing a lot of people, including those in D.C., through their Medicaid cuts? I’d sure like to see him apply that statement to RFK, Jr. and himself! They can throw in the rest of his Cabinet goons (and Stephen Miller) for good measure!
Other than maybe that jackass Andy Harris's Congressional seat, but then only if he switched parties, started spouting MAGA crap and wearing the red idiot hat. But, even then, he would have to change his skin color to be elected in that one weird district in Maryland!
As a Marylander, I know that there is no way Wes Moore would say anything like that, not only 'cause it is laughingly false, but 'cause he knows that if he said (or even entertained) anything like that, he wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected to any office in Maryland again.
He will give Sorbo a Kennedy Center honor, for sure. Disgusting!
The Orange Felon knows nothing about baseball, and he should keep his big mouth shut about it. He should concentrate on his health which seems to be failing (one can only hope!).
Wow. No accountability for her own failure to meet with her constituents or consider their needs. She just instantly resorts to blaming the “far left,” when I bet there are few liberals in her district. She needs to be booted out of Congress in 2026, so I hope voters remember this!
You know darn well that “Karen” is used as a slam to identify and talk about specific stupid middle-aged white women caught doing and saying terrible racist things in public and behaving like entitled monsters. And, it isn’t like there is another name used for that purpose; it’s always “Karen.”
I wonder how you would feel if everyone started substituting "Diane" for "Karen?" Just asking; no intent to offend. Initially, I found it just mildly irritating, but now I am kinda sick of that lazy insult.
I’m a retired history and gov’t teacher. When my daughter was in elementary school, I had a tough time undoing the nonsense about history that her teacher taught her. Little kids believe what their teachers tell them, and it stays with them. That’s why Prager is so dangerous.
Andy Ogles is a POS
He’s a smug jackass! He’s unintelligent and he lacks empathy. He makes fun of people who contradict him, and he gets paid to do so! I won’t watch CNN.

Talk about living "a pathetic and pointless life dedicated solely to [his] own material gain." Matt Walsh is a nut job Fascist buffoon. Why anyone listens to him or reads his crap is beyond comprehension.
Where does this idea come from that women simply wearing hijabs themselves are forcing other women to do or wear anything? In countries where hijabs are mandated, those laws come from men.
Public schools in states like Michigan were not funded equally when Boomers attended. They were funded through property taxes. If you lived in Grosse Pointe, you received a much better education than you did where I lived as they had more money. You had one experience & you assume it was universal.
First-past-the-post is indeed a huge problem. This video from several years ago really explains why it needs to go: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tW...
No. Lake Shore High School. I guess that just shows how widespread this was!
Black in the "golden age," states like Michigan funded public schools through property taxes. If you lived in a working class Detroit suburb as I did, your school received substantially fewer funds than did the rich areas. My history & civics teachers were terrible, never teaching critical thinking.
"Golden age?" My 11th grade History final exam: a blank map - fill in the state capitals. My 50th HS reunion is this year. I won't go. My classmates are now MAGA idiots, not taught to think in our shitty suburban Detroit public HS & most not bothering to EVER learn critical thinking skills.
Those were 2 of my daughter's dreams, and she has accomplished both. So, your dreams can come true!
Why is anyone “speculating” about it? Trump has always been stupid, uneducated, mean & selfish. But now, he cannot even string together enough solid words to form a coherent sentence! Do your job, media! You need to SAY this Fascist, racist, misogynistic dumbass is all that, PLUS he’s declining!
Agreed! My family & friends are speculating as to when one of us will be arrested just for openly & loudly opposing the Orange Fascist. He’s building the concentration camps now. We need to rise up & force this administration out, charge, prosecute & lock them all up (starting with FOTUS)!
They are both stupid, clownish fascists. I hate this administration with a passion I did not know I had.
So you think it’s hard for YOU to warn people & watch them react? Try being a woman who is very knowledgeable about government, politics, the Constitution, etc. I tried telling people about Project 2025 & its dangers. I often received a stupid misogynistic response. Lots of mansplaining out there!
I've not seen terrible posts like that, just complaints about people doing it. What I AM seeing is compete indifference from FOTUS & his aides, as well as Fascist morons like John Cornyn saying that we should be grateful for the people who survived (and that lack of empathy is horrendous).
Agreed! It's also sickening that the Orange Felon is golfing, won't travel to the site, and has cut funding for the NWS (and thus flash flood warnings were not given). I blame him and his awful administration, but certainly not parents. My heart breaks for them!
Ugh, Riley Gaines. She equals Trump in her abilities to grift, whine and lie, and I think they have the same IQ. Her husband can't get a green card, but has not yet been deported. Why not (I wonder)?
Fuckwad Russian assets!
I LOVE The Lives of Others!
I wouldn't buy his cologne (not even as a joke - I don't want to put any money into the Orange Felon's pocket), but I am wondering if it smells like Trump - a combo of arm pits, ketchup, makeup, and a butt, according to Adam Kinzinger.
On top of being complete garbage, FOTUS 47 is embarrassing our country with his every day angry public tantrums. No other President has ever behaved in such a childish manner in public. And to say this about Jamie Raskin, one of our most intelligent, courageous Congress members? Despicable!
Some people say Donald Trump belongs in prison (I'm one of them).
Every Republican knows this bill is horrible, but they're voting for it anyway. Why? They're reassuring each other that everything will be okay, that their voters will forget about it before 2026, that they will get each other through it. They're in a big, fat bubble that voters cannot penetrate!
That’s my former rock star student who is the receptionist!!!
Sarah Longwell wasn't falling for Murkowski's crap. She knows. But, the thing is, ALL of the GOP is horrible. So right now, we only have this stupid faint hope that one of these monsters might do the right thing. They're in power 'cause so many dumbasses in this country keep voting for them.
Every one of those cowardly assholes needs to resign! They're terrified over Trump's threats to primary them, and see those threats as more important than helping their constituents. But, what about the general election? Do they think they will win after voting for this shit?
I’m all for Jessica Reinmann defeating that idiot Mike Lawler. But, she should really have someone proofread her posts. “Sewing itself?” Geez!
This is unbelievable! Here is a convicted felon speaking through his Fascist dumbbell Barbie stand-in threatening a U.S. citizen with deportation because he doesn’t like his politics & because he thinks he can do whatever he wants? Meanwhile, his own wife lied to obtain citizenship, yet she’s fine?
Forgive me, Elon, if I don't hold my breath waiting for a Fascist, racist POS like you to actually do anything to punish these GOP cretins. Also, aren't you planning to go to Mars soon, before the primaries start? So maybe this hollow threat IS really the last thing you'll do on Earth?
Mullin is the only currently-serving Senator without a Bachelor's Degree. So yeah, he really resents people who are smart and educated. In addition to being a POS, as you say, he's an inarticulate. uneducated dumbass.
I'm old, too, and I agree with you completely!
I wonder why her non-citizen husband hasn't been kidnapped by ICE yet, even though he can't get a green card? Is it 'cause he's "tall?" He has no green card 'cause he refused to get vaccinated. If Trump is grabbing people for things like gardening & shopping, wouldn't that be more of a reason?
Thank you for your well-stated post. Democratic leadership is so weak and clearly compromised. Schumer has morphed into Susan Collins with his handwringing as a response to every issue, and Jeffries appears to be right there with him! We need new blood, and that is what Zohran Mamdani is!
I think it would be better if Jeffries just COMPLETELY shut up! I mean, he has been completely useless since the election, doing absolutely nothing to fight Trump. But, that's actually better than what he just did in trashing a successful & earnest Dem he SHOULD be backing and applauding!
Two questions for all of the Trump-loving Evangelical Christians: When Trump says of the Ayatollah, "As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie," isn't Trump conceding that he himself is not a man of faith when we all know Trump lies all the time? And, why isn't that a problem for you?
And now, Trump think's he's Clint Eastwood. Definitely demented!
Yes, but she’s pregnant again, this time with a viable pregnancy. I think that’s what they were talking about with regard to foster care?
Unfortunately, you are correct. I think you stated your point very succinctly, too.
I hope Riley Gaines’s baby is trans & her non-citizen husband gets deported under her idol the Orange Fascist’s policies. Maybe then she’ll shut up, stop grifting, & go away forever! She tied for 5th with a trans woman & won’t stop crying about it. Trans people shouldn’t have to deal w/her!
I’ll never understand why so many “Christians” hate & abuse trans people. Why persecute people who are small in number & don’t hurt anyone? Why can’t people just be happy for those who have found some measure of happiness? I’m looking at you, Riley Gaines, you stupid grifter bitch.
DEPORT TED CRUZ!
RFK, Jr. is trying to be the Lysenko of our times. He needs to be forced to resign before we end up in the same place.
RFK, Jr. should be the first one to die of an infectious disease that could have been prevented by a vaccine. He is arrogant, stupid, and dangerous.
Look at this article. I think it explains it well. And, why would Congress feel the need to introduce resolutions to stop Trump if he did not have the power to strike w/o Congressional approval? www.cfr.org/expert-brief...
Early in my legal career, I represented a company that was a regular defendant in asbestos cases. I attended so many depositions where the plaintiff was at death's door - we had to go to their homes and question them while they were in bed on oxygen. WTF is wrong with these Republicans goons?
I feel the same way about citations in research papers. Students need to learn how and why to cite properly and not to rely on things like “Noodle Tools” - which are often wrong anyway. We are teaching them to be lazy, and also that proper writing is unimportant.
Which experts? Because if you look at places like the Brennan Center they say what I said. It’s true that Congress must declare war, but if he can make an argument that our national security is at risk (his argument for everything, it seems), he’ll do it & will be w/in his powers, based on the past.
Yep! It’s horrible!
But, that confirms what I said. Congress kept going along with it and funding it because the various Presidents had committed troops, but war was never declared by Congress.
Tammy Duckworth said what every member of Congress should be saying: Hegseth is an incompetent boob traitor who is a danger to our country on so many levels. He needs to go!
I don't think people really understand how much power Trump has. He can do strikes against Iran w/o Congress declaring war (Vietnam was an undeclared war). Congress can stop him after it starts, but would this Congress stop him? This is why you don't elect a POS compromised criminal as President!
Um, Vietnam was an undeclared war. Yet, look what happened there. In the past, POTUS has authorized strikes, saying it was a national security issue. Congress can then stop it, but the current Republican Congress will never do that. This is why you don't elect a compromised shithead fraud as POTUS!
Unfortunately, Trump CAN authorize a military attack without a Congressional declaration of war, as it has happened before. Congress can stop him after the attack, and can refuse to declare war, but do you really think THIS Congress would stop him? Look at the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
I hate to say this, but he does have authority to bomb countries if he can claim "national security." He must notify Congress within 48 hours & Congress can then stop him (after the attacks have begun). But, do you think that THIS Congress will stop him??? Look at the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
Get that drunken Nazi Misogynist Racist Moron out of here!
Is Li'l Marco now actually trying to BE Trump, w/the same suit & long red tie as the Orange Turd? Also, will that meeting of idiots really be about Iran? I think instead they will take turns making speeches flattering Trump (as they always do). His fragile ego needs it after his parade debacle.
Well, she IS married to Joseph Goebbels, I mean Stephen Miller. So, what do you expect? Just imagine what those two sick Nazi monsters talk about and plan over the dinner table!
Right back at you! You position yourself as so open minded, when you are not, even in the slightest. Look in the mirror!
Also, consult the works of Marcus Borg.
Sorry, I misspelled the name. It’s Bernhard.
Legitimate scholars do not disagree on this matter. But, you can always find charlatans to support your point even though they don’t actually engage in real exegetical scholarship. For a start, consult books by the late Bruce Metzger & Old Testament books by Barnard W. Anderson for help on this.
You’re wrong. They are 2 separate traditions written 100s of years apart. As to your other point, I am not “insecure” about any of this. I don’t care about religion. I just don’t like to see an uneducated boob spout off about things he knows nothing about in attempts to influence others.
Well, no one ever accused Chuck Todd of having a brain or any sense of how dumb he always appears to be. What we can say is that he’s one of those people who thinks he’s making an original & very insightful point, when in reality the rest of us have been saying the same thing for a long time.
Also, my Presbyterian minister husband, trained at Princeton Theological Seminary, who also has a Ph.D in Christian theology, asked me where you received your theological credentials. I told him that I didn’t know, but that I am guessing that you got them from the back of a matchbook.
You’re wrong. There’s a Yahwist version & a Priestly version. In one version, man is created last and in the other, humanity is created first. So, they are contradictory, & that is a problem for someone like you who takes things literally. Also, I notice that you said nothing about my other points.
Why are there 2 creation narratives in Genesis? Why are there discrepancies in the timeline of Jesus’s final week among the gospels? Why are there 2 different birth narratives (Matthew & Luke)? You cannot say that the Bible is literally true when within it there are so many disparities & fallacies!
Also, although I am not religious, my husband is a retired Presbyterian minister, trained at Princeton seminary, and he also has a Ph.D in Christian theology. He would NEVER use the Bible as you do, quoting things out of context so authoritatively. He is spiritual rather than dogmatic (unlike you)!
The Bible isn’t absolute truth! It’s interpretation of God’s interaction with humans. It’s also contradictory at times, as it is composed of various theological viewpoints. I am not in any way an expert on the Bible. But, neither are you, as evidenced by what you just posted!
That’s just such a ridiculous reply, especially in light of your offensive and mean posts on this thread! My take is that you don’t love anyone who doesn’t think as concretely as you do.
RFK, Jr. is a moron. The only reason anyone gives him any thought is because he’s a Kennedy. We over-value Kennedys. Many in his generation are dumbbells. The ones who are decent & smart condemn RFK, Jr. as a dangerous, uninformed monster. He’s proving them right w/ every action he takes!
I caution my students against quoting as they tend to leave their quotes to stand on their own w/o context. That’s what you do. I also (& I urge them) to read many opinions & arguments from all sides. But that’s NOT what you do. You see one “truth” & attack anyone who sees things differently.
I looked at your posts. You almost exclusively post quotes from the Bible with no context. That reinforces what others are pointing out - that you are not a critical thinker. You also both-sides everything, which just shows that you have no ability or desire to cut through the crap.
Yes, and he will undoubtedly be reelected by the white nationalist "religious" creeps in his state. His current term isn't up until 2028. His constituents will have forgotten about his shitty posts by then, assuming that they thought that anything he said was wrong in the first place.
Mike Lee is a real piece of shit. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
It's difficult to determine which one of the Orange Felon's enablers is the most despicable, as there are so many lying imbecilic racists who support him at every turn. But, Mike Johnson, the fake Christian Nazi, is right up there!
Why are we even concerned about whether Sen. Padilla identified himself (he absolutely DID!)? The real issue is why is it now acceptable for these Trump administration goons to have people wrestled to the ground and handcuffed just for asking a question. This has happened over & over again.
Have you heard Markwayne speak? It's clear that he is as dumb as a rock. No electrical current flowing behind his eyeballs!
Marbles in cats' asses? More like marbles (soaked in bourbon, of course) in Hegseth's filthy mouth! What in hell is he even talking about?
Nice!!!!!!!
Yes! Feel free to continue it!
Taco Fell can go to Hell!
I have never been a big ABC fan, but I will never watch them now! Fuck these Trump capitulators!
That POS is 57. It's easy to say "Get back to work," when you're that age. I felt young & spry at 57! Now, I'm 68 next month & I JUST retired after working hard for 50 years (including full-time plus during undergrad). I'm no longer as fit & I deserve my benefits I paid into! He can fuck off!
You're right, not even one redeeming quality. I challenge anyone to come up with one. No one can because Trump has no heart, soul, conscience, empathy or love for anything but himself.
In addition to everything everyone is saying about that gross, homophobic, racist, misogynist, fascist, narcissistic, dumb, cheating, lying piece of orange shit, he has absolutely no sense of humor. I know that, in comparison to everything else, that may be a small point, but it's still telling.
Please be careful with plants and flowers. Lilies can kill.
