Charlie Sykes: [L]et's be clear here: What he said was obviously true. He really doesn't think about anybody. He really doesn't give a rat's ass about the average American. If you're not hanging out at Mar-a-Lago, you're invisible.
We've known this for a very long time, but it's become increasingly obvious as he indulges his obsessions with gilded ballrooms, reflecting pools, golden icons, and stuffing his own pockets with endless graft,
As Trump and his planeloads of oligarchs and egos head off to a high-stakes summit, it's worth noting how the Chinese regard American power in the Age of Trump.
The social media warriors have helped make AIPAC a politically toxic brand " and fueled debate over what it means to be "pro-Israel."
Forty percent of the world's dollars rest on an unwritten Fed promise. That promise is now under pressure.
ATLANTA (AP) After losing the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrats are grappling with how to handle transgender politics and policy following a campaign that featured withering and often misleading GOP attacks on the issue.Again ...
There is plenty of second-guessing after President-elect Donald Trump anchored his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris with sweeping promises on the economy and immigration. But Democrats also will not soon forget the punchline in anti-transgender Trump ads that became ubiquitous by Election Day:
"Kamala is for they/them; President Trump is for you."
"AIPAC" is nowhere to be found, Coriolanus.
Sweeping trans-people under the rug seems to be your take. Their concerns are clearly not your concerns.
Interesting.
Trump hammered Democrats on transgender issues. Now the party is at odds on a responseNothing in there about your clear hatred of Jews, Caius Marcius Coriolanus.
Not even a mention of "AIPAC".
Nothing whatsoever.

There is no one reason Harris lost
Politicians and activists are trying to sell disingenuous and nonfactual explanations of why Harris lost to push their ideology. Don't fall for it.Democrats were united and turned out. Harris lost anyway.Voters issued a broad repudiation of not only Harris' campaign but the Democratic Party's vision for the country.A Former Republican Strategist on Why Harris LostInflation, moderation, and candidate effectsWhat Was the Biggest Factor in Kamala Harris's Defeat?
Nothing whatsoever.

** BREAKING: SCOTUS lets abortion pill mail delivery continue **
May 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the abortion pill to be prescribed through telemedicine and dispensed by mail, restoring for now a 2023 federal rule challenged by Republican-governed Louisiana that had made access to the medication easier.
The justices granted requests by two manufacturers of the abortion pill, called mifepristone, to lift a lower court's block on the rule that was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during Democratic former President Joe Biden's administration, while the legal challenge plays out.
#6 Coriolanus once again shows his hatred for Jews by making a ridiculous statement.
Yes, Denise Powell (D) won the Democratic 2nd CD primary in Nebraska.
Denise Powell Is Your WinnerSounds to me like you prefer the Republican, Brinker Harding.
When we wrote up the Nebraska election results yesterday, the outcome of the Democratic primary in the D+3 NE-02"the district being vacated by Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)"was unknown. With 89% of the vote in, businesswoman and activist Denise Powell had 38.9% of the vote to 36.8% for state Sen. John Cavanaugh. We guessed that Powell would hold on to win, as there was no plausible theory for why the final 10% might break 4-to-1 for Cavanaugh, but that was just a guess.
It would seem we were on to something, though. Now that 95%+ of the ballots have been counted, the total is... 38.9% of the vote for Powell, as compared to 36.8% for Cavanaugh. So, things did not budge one bit. There's no way to make up a 2-point gap with less than 5% of the vote still out, and so Powell will indeed be the nominee.
Powell will now face off against Brinker Harding (R). He sounds like a character in a Charles Dickens novel, but he's actually an Omaha city councilman and 4th-generation Nebraskan.
He is running on a platform of slashing the federal budget and owning the libs. If he gets sent to Washington, one of those two things will go right out the window. The only poll of the race, which is very old, had Powell leading Harding by 5 points. That's not a great data point, but the blue lean of the district, the national climate, and our sense that Harding is not a great fit lead us to conclude that Powell is the favorite here. This is the kind of seat the Democrats simply must flip to retake the House, so both parties will certainly spend big on this one. (Z)
Is that right, Coriolanus?
You prefer Trump/MAGA/Republicans?

The Best God Joke Ever
by Emo Phillips
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
