If those same voters had all been from Massachusetts, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference.

I read Atlas Shrugged when I was in High School. I had no idea who she was and had no pre-conceived opinions, so I was as blank slate as you come.

But before Cohn became Donald Trump’s mentor, he was Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and one of the most notorious figures of the Red Scare, the movement that destroyed careers, blacklisted Americans, and turned the word “communist” into a weapon that could be used against almost anyone. #USPOL #Trump npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik I loved the book 3 bags full, it was such a lovely and layered book.

Under a new Trump administration policy, the agency will stop investigating and reporting deaths that occur within 30 days after someone is released from its custody. A person can leave detention gravely ill, die days later, and disappear from ICE’s public record. #ICE #MeltIce #Desaparecidos #USPOL npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik The grift is in full display: Supreme Court lifts spending limits on candidates and political parties.

They have green-lighted deporting Haitians in large numbers due to the end of Temporary Protected Status.

Expected funding for more than 900 Park Service projects never arrived—including $424,000 to replace a guardrail on the edge of a cliff in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park that National Park Service employees identified as “a significant safety hazard for visitors.” (Courtesy of #HeatherCoxRichardson ) #NationalParks #Trump #USPOL npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik Pew’s new 36-country survey put numbers to the freefall. A median of 23% express confidence in Trump’s handling of world affairs — below Putin, below Xi. Seventy-four percent disapprove of his handling of Iran. In Canada, the share calling the U.S. a reliable partner fell from 83% in 2022 to 35% today; in Germany, “considers our interests” cratered from 60% to 23%.

In contrast, Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes were sentenced to 18 and 22 years of prison for their roles in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

It’s a toxic intersection of “malignant narcissism”—a dark mix of paranoia, antisocial behavior, lying, and sadism—and “frontotemporal dementia.” This means a complete loss of manners, decorum, judgment, and empathy, along with highly “impulsive, rash, or careless actions.” #Trump npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik #fueraice #noIce #WorldCup Art work by Shaina Lu https://media.union.place/media_attachments/files/116/754/700/172/427/733/original/23634c75bd98de7f.jpg npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik I have a personal dislike for Maggie Haberman.
