Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the convention God intervened to save Trump from an assassin. I guess God just didn't care for that guy who was killed.

Can you imagine how much Republicans and right wing media outlets would lose their shit if reporters were on a social platform led by a Dem megadonor who actively promoted the far left? They'd go on a crusade. Media outlets would leave or never even have started.

Reminder that I work in a library and these people would put me in jail for recommending the Bluest Eye, Kindred, the Gilda Stories and more. All books I've recommended in the recent past.

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

BREAKING: After years of ducking accountability for corruption, Senator Menendez has finally been convicted by a jury. There is no room in the Senate for a convicted felon, especially not one convicted of taking bribes. He must resign today or be immediately expelled.
