For the kids, the song they’re playing here is “Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival—a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities of the Vietnam War draft system.

FWIW, I used to work for a governor, and we had countless state boards where we were expected (by rule or tradition) to appoint both Democrats and Republicans. So the Minnesota killer being a Walz appointee to a state board tells us nothing about his political affiliation.

This is wildly irresponsible for anyone, and especially for a U.S. senator. There is zero evidence that the shooter is a Marxist. Sen. Lee is just making it up to score cheap political points barely 36 hours after a brutal murder. There really is no bottom.

Ah yes, Tucker Carlson, the renowned pacifist who has been: - Hyping apologists of Hitler and the Holocaust, - Posting pro-Russian propaganda after Putin invaded Ukraine, - And now wanting Iran to have free rein to threaten Israel with nuclear weapons. Truly a "peacemaker."

Mike Lee can be a Senator or a shitposter, but he really shouldn’t be both. I assume getting dressed down like this will only make him more popular with the base of the party, but it’s fucking embarrassing.

Relevant today: If your political approach is total war; that your side has a monopoly on virtue, the other party is a cancer to be eradicated, and all moral, ethical, legal, & constitutional lines are worth crossing to achieve political victory. Then YOU are the problem.

One of the more devastating fact checks I've read. Every single claim made by Sen. Scott about CBO was wildly false. My favorite was his claim that CBO also committed major tax scoring errors in the 1930s and 1960s. CBO did not even exist until 1974.
