I will not vote for Gavin Newsom.

Yeah, I got the Social Security scam/spam too. Probably everyone on Social Security got it.

It praises Congress for passing “the One Big, Beautiful Bill,” followed by a series of lies about the law’s impact, before ending with a wink and a nudge, claiming “Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public.”

In very small print at the bottom, it says, “This email was sent by the Social Security Administration, and was produced and disseminated at U.S. taxpayer expense.” There’s an ‘unsubscribe’ link, which, if clicked, probably cuts off your Social Security.

Of all the cruel, illegal, anti-American things ICE is doing, people are pissed because of this? Piss on that.

Sounds like a great ad for Mamdani!

What are the chances we'll have an actual election in 2028? 50/50 seems optimistic.

Say Trump announces that you're not a citizen, that gay marriage doesn't exist, that all women must give birth annually, whatever. If you're victimized by it, and have the money or can find a freebie lawyer, maybe you sue the federal government, and maybe you win. But even if you win, you only win for you. The millions of others in exactly your same situation each need to file their own lawsuits, and hope to win. (Unless it's a class action lawsuit, which involves separate and very, very difficult legal hurdles.)

If I'm understanding this wrong, and cripes I hope I am, please 'splain it to me.

Only in the aftermath will we know which moment was the final toppling, but for now, I'd nominate this.

Human decency is strange and rare, these days.

Dude fucked up. Dude got in trouble. Dude ought to be ashamed and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is. I don't yearn to have the mob come after him.

I love ya, Mother Jones, but Marines sign up to follow orders. If they're ordered to shoot me, they'll shoot me.
