Someone asked me to "please stop" with my posts about the Oxford comma. After careful consideration, I’ve determined that I’m unable to abide by such an unreasonable, discourteous, and ill-mannered request.

So basically, other opportunistic right-wing nutjobs around the globe are seeing from the US example that lying pays off. And now they, too, are emulating brazen liars like Trump and his cabinet, and all the rest of the incompetents that headline his administration. apple.news/ASutEaHQbS4W...

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Trump’s DHS is recruiting a deportation army—$50K bonuses, propaganda posters, and a mission to hunt immigrants. It’s not law enforcement. It’s a fascist militia built with your tax dollars. social.demcast.com/s/WnLAYwXS

Governor Abbott just said he’s got “bullets in his belt” that he’s ready to use against Texas Democrats. As a prosecutor, I’ve had criminals threaten my life. I never thought I’d see the day that the Governor of Texas threatens my life. Governor Abbott, retract your statement.

So, what are we looking at here? 1200 soldiers deployed to Washington DC? That should be more than enough to secure the White House, take the criminal in the Oval Office into custody, and liberate the Epstein files.
It is not the job of federal judges to "respect the president." Good luck with the job hunt, Alina.

Trump wants to kick families off Section 8 after 2 years. Doesn’t matter if you’re working or raising kids. He doesn’t care. It’s always the people with the least who get hit the hardest. Cruel and heartless.

This is a long-sought victory for President Trump, who has harshly accused PBS and NPR newscasts of being "biased," and a long-dreaded disruption for local stations that bank on taxpayer support. Here's my latest:
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.

🚨Mike Pence just broke from the MAGA script: “Tariffs are a tax. That $300B projection? We’re the ones paying it, importers, businesses, consumers.” Trump’s tariff flex is just a massive invoice for the American people; signed, sealed, and forwarded to your grocery bill.

Hey, @maddow.msnbc.com @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com Stop using his terminology!! That’s a concentration camp in Florida, not a detention center. Those are import taxes paid by Americans, not tariffs.
Hey, @weeknightmsnbc @maddow @Lawrence @CNN @ABC @CBSNews @MeidasTouch Stop calling them “tariffs.” They’re “import taxes.” That’s what we called them for decades. To inform consumers, say: “Trump’s tariffs which are more accurately called import taxes paid by Americans.”
