The illegal immigrant who shoved the guy into an oncoming subway train in NYC should be either jailed for life or shipped back to the country from whence he came. My kids ride the trains and subways and I fear for their lives.
The whole notion of "civil war" among the MAGAs is the result of Trump-hater and Rino Matt Drudge who can't say anything good about Trump. Disagreement is healthy. "civil war" is just an interpretative spin from the legacy media.
Maybe the least noticed snippet from this article is the fact that Ukraine will no longer allow Russian gas to flow to Europe. Did y'all catch that? Will no longer. This jumped out at me immediately, because when the Nordstream pipeline blew up in 2022, the Biden administration immediately concluded that Putin did it. Despite Biden and Germany's Olaf Scholz snickering at a press conference a few months earlier that if Putin invaded Ukraine they would put an end to the pipeline. And of course the progressive media outlets were all-in on the narrative. Despite the fact that a senior staff writer at The Atlantic, Anne Applebaum, happens to be married to a Polish govt minister name Radi Sikorski. You know, the guy who tweeted "Thanks USA!" the day after the pipeline explosion. He was also helpful enough to broadcast a longer tweet about the Brotherhood and Yamal pipelines, which transit Ukraine on the way to Western Europe. Those are the ones that Gazprom had been paying Ukraine for protecting, and nobody seems to find that remarkable. So the official story of Biden and the collegiate propagandists of the respectable MSM has been that Putin was so mad at NATO that he blew up his own property, but not so mad that he shut off the two pipelines that Russia had to pay Ukraine to protect during the war. I wonder what Anne and Radi chat about at the breakfast table these days?
"In 2024, a California woman was indicted on charges of threatening to assault and murder a federal judge in Texas after the court suspended approval of the abortion drug mifepristone."
If people are fanatically enthusiastic to kill unborn babies, why would we not expect them to apply the same philosophy to other inconvenient people?
I wonder if you would apply the term "people who are fanatically enthusiastic to kill unborn babies" to, say, a 12 year-old white girl in the north of England who was pregnant after being gang-raped by Pakistani pedophiles?
As you will recall, I was referring to the woman who was "threatening to assault and murder a federal judge in Texas after the court suspended approval of the abortion drug mifepristone." Did the 12 year old, raped white girl threaten to murder public officials?"
As it happens, I do not reject abortion under any circumstances. But I prefer the policy as stated by President Clinton, that abortions should be legal, safe, and rare. These days they are neither safe nor rare.
I'm going to lose it if I read about a "truck driving into a crowd." This truck did not drive itself. Name the attacker and his affiliation in the first sentence.
"Sally Satel, a psychiatrist who specializes in treating addiction, says he is both right and wrong. Writing for The Free Press, she applauds RFK Jr. for insisting that addicts have to get clean, rather than have the people around them indulge their addiction. But she worries that he will cut the availability of pharmaceuticals such as methadone that have proven useful in addicts’ recovery. “People who have recovered from addiction often have a fierce commitment to helping fellow addicts. But they can be too attached to the methods by which they themselves achieved sobriety,” she writes."
Sally is exhibit A of the Shirky Principle and thus is much less reliable than is RFK Jr in what actually works. Think about it... if there are no addicts then Sally does not have any work to validate her high status credentials.
When Lincoln had a fractious cabinet it was poetically deemed a “team of rivals”. With Trump it’s “civil war!” I think having differing opinions is healthy but I guess it’s a slow news day.
In the comments I keep reading lines like 'TFP is as bad as the New York Times.'
C'mon. That's a no. The NYT is a ruthlessly vile propaganda machine that goes out of its way to prop up Democrats and the Deep State, and does everything it can to destroy Republicans and conservatives.
TFP is like a fledgling newspaper filled with people who know the NYT model is wrong, and are doing they're best to present a more balanced view. But because they are still trying to shake off their TDS, or maybe just out of habit of doing things the NYT way, they are still not the newspaper they think they can be.
Let's cut em a little slack - they're trying, but the TDS dies hard.
The problem is that for Trumpers ANY criticism of him is labeled TDS. If you cannot stomach any criticism of him at all without it being labeled a derangement it means you are in a cult. The Free Press does a decent job of criticizing both sides.
Yes, commune-style farms for drug addicts! And also let's include homeless people, juvenile delinquents and non-violent offenders, at the judge's discretion. In addition to putting in an 8 hour work day, participants would be required to become proficient in reading, writing and basic math, and to participate in at least one "extra-curricular activity". These could include singing, acting, playing a musical instrument, or learning a foreign language. Pay them for their time. Make it all positive, not punitive. A 21st Century version of the CCC. Upon release they would receive follow-up care and assistance with job placement.
I suggest using Islamic State rather than ISIS to make the association perfectly clear between one interpretation of Islam and these terrorist attacks. Don't bury the motivation in an acronym.

Soooo.....anyone got any update on the Cybertruck dude? :)
Seems like someone was pissed about those HB-1 visas?

Re: The Houthi Bombing.
I think that it’s time to stop attacking Iranian proxies and start dropping bombs on Iran.
The CNN bit at the end wouldn't have been remotely controversial if it was aimed at Team D.
I thought Whitney was brilliant and said aloud what everybody is thinking

It was not my intention to start an argument, I was somewhat taken aback by your use of the word 'fanatically'.
If I have given you pause for thought then my task is done.
Indeed (and I am sympathetic to the pro life argument). See https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/feb/22/oxford-child-abuse-trial-branded for some details (from an ultra progressive pro immigration newspaper) which are not as 'blunt' as the court transcript!

In Lincoln's day, a Civil War was a violent conflict between the Northern and Southern states. Now it's a disagreement among cabinet members.
I knew that Whitney Cummings would join the Free Press orbit.

Between that Jennings guy and comedian Whitney Cummings...CNN viewers are finally hearing the "rest of the story"...as Paul Harvey used to say.
