A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it
B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate

Paula Doress-Worters, who died Feb. 21, had given birth in late 1966, at a time when postpartum depression — experienced by an estimated 1 in 8 women after childbirth — hardly had a name.
“They said, ‘It’s just baby blues, you’ll get over it.’”
the amazing part is actually in the second half of the clip, where he starts complaining about an interpreter condensing his "long beautiful flowing language" presumably into something comprehensible
Because their money is involved too 😑
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov This man is readying ground forces to invade to save himself from the Epstein files. Pls demand colleagues revote on War Powers resolution today!
I could have sworn that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and the whole world responded, but maybe I'm misremembering.
(History still matters, even in a meme.)
Trump's ordering troops for a ground invasion of Iran. Pls urge GOP colleagues to stop this Wag the Dog fake holy war today! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @repshontelbrown.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social
We are not angry enough!
I've been saying this all week they are calling this ARMAGEDDON you don't call something a "holy war" and not have plans to put Boots on the ground and start to draft more boots to die for the cause these people are insane and need to be stopped call your Congress person, protest, resist.
Sad. Life is precious and an old senile almost out the door pedo will not let many young men see old age. Just isn’t fair. Oh, and Vietnam is a what keeps ticking in my mind.
It's looking more and more like the unthinkable is going to happen. 😳👇
"Donald Trump's name is all over these files... 17-yo girls, 16-yo girls, 14-yo girls, 11-yo girls, 10-yo girls...I saw a reference today to a 9-yo girl. It's a really gruesome and grim story.. n order to make progress on criminal investigation and prosecution, we need to listen to the survivors." - Rep. Jamie Raskin @NEWSLADYZEEY

It seems important to point out that the "GOP's traditional strength on the economy, national security, and immigration" has always been a fiction that only existed in the media.

I suspect Hegseth/Miller think a silent majority will rally to zero-sum nationalism (tariffs), treating all immigrants as criminals, and a kill-first-think-later military posture (what Hegseth calls the “warrior ethic”). It's a big deal that this isn't happening. 6/

The loss of 92,000 jobs in February is the latest sign that job creation has been low under Trump. Trust in him on the economy is abysmal. And as long as Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing is Trump's immigration agenda, he'll continue tanking on that as well. 5/
newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Support for the Iran war is at an abysmal 38%, per G. Elliott Morris's average of polls. That's the lowest initial support for a war in memory. Also, CNN finds 59% don't trust Trump to make right decisions with force in Iran. There's no rally-around-flag effect. 4/
newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

When Trump took office, it looked plausible that the public would rally behind his tariffs and deportations. He had successfully (if wrongly) painted Biden as weak for pulling out of Afghanistan.
But now his numbers are abysmal on all three of these GOP issues. 2/
newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.
A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

“Who knows in which direction Trump’s narcissism and megalomania will push him? For now, what we do know is that one man has taken us to war. We know his party has voted to give him a blank check to continue it.”

Trump: "It was nasty. It was 18 minutes of pure violence. We took Maduro out... we've been working closely w/ the new president of VZ, Delcy Rodriguez. She's doing great job bc she's working with us. If she wasn't, I would not say she's doing a great job. We're taking out tremendous amounts of oil."
