Requiring passports to register is a terrible idea from MAGA.

It's also, weirdly, a terrible idea *for* MAGA. Dems are now the party of the college-educated. Which party's base is less likely to have an up-to-date passport?

I've vowed not to rant about Kahn & the NYT all day, but one thing I'll say: Kahn sets up a false dichotomy b/t what he says NYT is doing (fair coverage) vs. what libs want (cheerleading for Biden). But even if you accept that dichotomy, *NYT isn't doing what it says it's doing.*

MAGA: Democrats have Trump derangement syndrome.

ALSO MAGA: Joe Biden is a bad president because he won’t shoot his dog.

At this point she should lean into it. Go on TV, say 'You know me, I love making stuff up.' And then produce a gray adult dog and be like 'her name's Cricket.'

President Biden: You may recall that my predecessor promised ‘Infrastructure Week’ every single week for four years. He didn't build a damn thing. Nothing. At the same time, he and his MAGA allies in Congress were happy to give a $2 trillion tax cut that benefitted the super…

“In America, there’s a right to protest but not a right to cause chaos.”

— President Biden, just now

Much longer remarks, and I encourage folks to read the President’s full statement. He also immediately shut down a suggestion to deploy the National Guard with a curt “No.”

This is blatantly anti-Semitic. The Romans killed Jesus. If the Jews did it, we would have used the space laser.

If, like me, you have posted about concerns for the safety of Jewish students on campus, I think decency and honesty suggest that you should share stories about the violence perpetrated against the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA last night.

My honest answer — 2016 radicalized me into becoming a pragmatist.

My primary ideology became defeating as many Rs as possible rather than needing my president/party to align with my views on every single issue.

And I have zero patience for anyone who gets in the way of that.

“I’m livid that a mayor sent police to arrest demonstrators, so now I’m hoping the next president calls in the national guard to kill them.”

I, for one, am ready for the buddy action flick where Trump and a student occupier team up to break out of jail.

Putting ideologies momentarily aside, one major difference between the far right and far left is that the far right is like, 'We've got zip ties and assault rifles' and the far left is like, 'We forgot to bring snacks.'

President Biden’s message to the press: The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, promised a ‘bloodbath’ when he loses again, and so much more. Eight years ago, you could have written it off as…
