Whatever your feelings about the Trump shooting, it’s worth pointing out that if a Secret Service team can’t protect a presidential candidate, maybe expecting Mrs. Krabappel to protect her 4th grade students from an active shooter is unrealistic.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

"Democrats need to treat it like the fundamental crisis it is, both on the campaign trail & in congressional committees.. The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy... This is serious. Act like it."

In 1984, Gremlins, Ghostbusters and Top Secret! coming out on the same day didn’t become this big remarked upon deal because it was a given that people could afford to see multiple movies in a summer, spread across several weeks.

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control. Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling. And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act. Republicans are coming for birth control.

We're supposed to pretend this situation is complicated but it's really not. Both of these guys have inexcusably killed/hurt a bunch of civilians while their deputies repeatedly make public statements confirming the goal is to commit crimes against civilians. That should be prosecuted.

Let's all be honest, "Aquire a loan you know you can't pay off, then use it to buy a company, spin off the assets to private concerns, saddle the company with the loan you can never pay off, and then declare bankruptcy" is financial fraud, and any sane polity would have implemented laws against it.
Every article about Red Lobster filing for bankruptcy is "ha ha endless shrimp, what did they think would happen" and then buried ten paragraphs down is the usual:
