I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP, or an evil, incurious idiot for a president and we still funded cancer research?

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.

"can't gerrymander a statewide election". Jeff Jackson proved that is so. Sometimes gerrymandering backfires - Republicans may have picked up Jackson's seat, but he's now in a much more powerful job. If Nickel could win the Senate seat (though Tillis will be tougher to beat than Butt, as he has been very different as Senator than he was in the state House, while Butt hasn't changed from his extremism as a Congressman) it would mean forcing two Democrats into greater power.
Tillis has actually developed into one of the more moderate, or at least bipartisan and constructive, GOP senators. But his state's bluer, or less red, than those of most others in his caucus so he's a natural target. And his relative bipartisanship might spark a primary challenge from the right which would make a pickup--amidst a GOP presidential midterm--easier. (Mark Robinson? Can we dream?)
