California apparently wants the price of homes to climb even higher

“Colossal landslide.”
If people will lie about something so easily checked, why believe them about anything else?
Trump received 49.8% of the popular vote compared to Harris’s 48.3 %. He won 312 electoral votes. His win was decisive, but hardly a landslide, never mind a colossal one.
At the heart of the 2024 campaign was President Trump’s pledge to halt the border invasion and carry out history’s largest deportation — the first two promises in the GOP platform.
President Trump won a colossal landslide.
Since then, there has been a nonstop campaign of criminal obstruction, threats, harassment, doxing and grave physical attacks and riots against ICE agents — stoked endlessly by Democrats — to reverse the election result by violence.
This large-scale political violence is domestic terrorism.
And it is the absolute moral and constitutional duty of the federal government to stop this terrorism, defend the lives and safety of federal officers, and protect the American citizen and nation by ensuring the full and unrestricted enforcement of federal immigration law in all fifty states.

I love how MAGA apologists who ignored or even celebrated Trump’s character flaws now suddenly discover them and pretend to be brave truth tellers. When it would have cost them, they happily promoted the cult. Now they’re like “oh my God it’s a cult! Why can’t you see it?!”
Megyn Kelly: “Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was married to the mother of his children Ivana. Ivana accused him of raping her. She alleged he was so angry over the hair transplant he got that she made him get, it was so painful that he raped her. He winds up with Melania and if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, you’ve got bigger issues than I can solve”

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says relations with Russia will never be the same as before the war, arguing that the West has come to recognize Poland's warnings about Putin. He described Russia's problems as both civilizational and cultural-political, saying the country remains trapped in what he called a "Mongol-tsarist" model followed by a Bolshevik one. Attempts to create something different have failed, he said. #Russia

Just being very angry at a caricature of Lockean liberalism does not a political philosophy make.

If you know anyone who has any ideas of taking Jesse Watters seriously, send them this.
These were his pre-election day predictions.
And it’s exactly why no one should ever confuse Fox News propaganda with political analysis.
I remember in 2015-16, there were serious people who thought that Trump was a Dem plant to get Hillary elected. That obviously wasn’t true. But if you just looked at the results since, Donald Trump is shaping up to be the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party. Fueled what might be a generational demographic realignment, promoted activists and ideologies on the new right who are moving the GOP leftward on economics. Made protectionism and industrial policy bipartisan. Etc.
Obviously it wasn’t a conspiracy. But it was an amazing self-own by a bunch of folks who thought giving Trump a chance — “Flight 93 Election!!” — was worth it.
In short they all fucked up. And a bunch of em still can’t see it.

Steven Miller's immigration policy has taken arguably the GOP's best issue and made it a liability. He, second only to Trump himself, is responsible for blowing up the multiracial coalition that elected Trump in 2024 and sparked the GOP's dream of a multiracial working class coalition. He's also probably the single most despised person in American politics. So of course, Trump appointed him Chief of Staff after getting humiliated at the polls. It's so perfect.
Just saw an ad from Rachel Maddow once again claiming that MSNOW reports the news “without fear or favor” while also promising that they want to appeal to a community that shares their values or some such. It’s like they can’t even hear themselves. Just own what you are.

And the result, had that been successful, would have been even worse than their 2nd ingenious plan which was to push Feely from AZ5 to AZ1
