For those who may not know, Hameed Darweesh was the Iraqi interpreter who landed at JFK airport. Both Afghans & Iraqis who work with the US in any capacity are a favorite target for insurgents (as are their families). In Hameed’s case, he fled Baghdad to Kirkuk after two of his colleagues died. When several men showed…

How unfair to set bond at $2 million. Clearly, this guy already has enough economic anxiety.

The only moral abortion is my abortion. The only time I do not insult Obamacare is when my insurance is cut. The only time I promote gay rights is when my child comes out to me.

She is a true American hero. Shot in the freaking head doing her damn job, went back to do it as soon as she was able to advocate against gun violence and constantly telling the truth. Sorry these men aren’t as brave as she is!

I’m confused. I thought the reason Louie Gohmert has a major man crush on the NRA and an unhealthy love of guns is precisely for situations where he doesn’t feel safe. Because as we all know, white, male, Republican politicians in Texas are a historically persecuted and disenfranchised group.

I’m a proud Giffords voter and these cowardly Republicans can fuck right off.

Things look really bad now but I promise everyone it’ll all be over soon.

Wait and see! Wait and see! I’m sure he’s just pulling us backward for so we can all get a good run-up at equality!

Agreed. Also, there are a LOT of moderate dems. I am one. I don’t want the “Tea Party of the Left”.

Some sins can never be entirely washed away.

Speaking to the Post, El-Messidi said “This is really a human issue. But out of this horrible election cycle, something beautiful has come out of it and [Muslims and Jews have] bonded together to support each other and stand up to this hate. Politics can get in the way of our basic humanity; I hope this breaks through…

VA redistricting is so shit that Democrats routinely get the majority of the vote in an election year yet our House is 66-34 in favor of Republicans. (edit: obviously the reason it’s this bad is that Republicans had control over the last two redistricting sessions and boy howdy did they do a fucking number on the…

I’m in Erik Paulsen’s district. He hasn’t held an in-person town hall in years, but does hold phone town halls, in which people whose phone number his office has are randomly called at an unannounced date/time to be invited to listen to him handpick his questions and not see any of his constituents face to face.

Just remember: they felt all the other awful shit he said about racial minorities, Muslims, women, and LGBT people was just a matter of “free speech”. Apparently this is the thing that was too “offensive” for them and where they felt the need to draw the line in the sand, where they felt the need to “infringe upon his…

Unless the GOP grows a brain and a backbone, thry won’t. As Samantha Bee pointed out, Congress and the Senate are going unchecked right now. Everyone is so focused on what a moron the disgusting rotted pumpkin is, they’re getting down to business dismantling everything

I really feel like it’d be inappropriate to consider a SCOTUS nominee in the middle of the campaign like this. We should really wait until the election and let the voice of the American people be heard.

I’ve been rolling around in the greys for months angrily yelling at every article that has covered autism and/or vaccines. I’m tired.

True. I do feel like if people are going to be immigration hawks, hiring undocumented people should be a deal breaker. So it should be a deal breaker for most Republicans. They’ve been allowed to essentially have it both ways on immigration. They can talk tough AND exploit people’s labor. That’s why our immigration…

Puzder is reportedly “very tired of the abuse...”
