Agree, except… there’s an argument Yash deserves it.
The most deserving winner of #bb28
1. Devens
2. Drew
3. Angela
4. Dee - she needs to be sacrificed this week, she already won a million.
The rest equally suck and have no merit being the position they are in.
One took a bribe betraying his allies to keep himself off the block, one betrayed his whole alliance on his hoh, and the 2 girls are useless furniture who do nothing but sleep and complain about everyone else while letting the rest of the house take shots at each other. Ugh.

“They should have just complied!”
They did and they got killed anyway.
“They should have just obeyed the law.”
They were and they got killed anyway.
“They should have come here legally!”
They did and they got killed anyway.

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill.
“Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

Joe Biden outlasting the very people who weaponized his age is a top-tier plot twist. I love that for him.

Platner is out—good. It should’ve happened sooner.
I want to underscore that Republicans don’t get to take a moral victory lap here. They’re still the party of Trump.

It’s 250 years of freedom for white men only.
It’s 106 years of voting freedom for white women.
It’s 72 years of voting freedom for Asian immigrants.
It’s 61 years of voting freedom for Black people.
It’s 51 years of voting rights for Native Peoples, but we all know that’s a farce when their lands were stripped from them and their ways of life were classified illegal.
It’s 10 years of marriage freedom for queer couples.
It’s 0 years of voting freedom for Puerto Ricans.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. bbc.com/news/articles/c8x215…

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

Before you tell people not to celebrate a death; Mitch McConnell blocked cancer research for 9/11 firefighters on three separate occasions.

They arrested a veteran for holding a sign on the steps of the Capitol, but pardoned insurrectionists who assaulted police officers and smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

It is fucking crazy how right-wing this country has become in the last 15 years. The Democrats have to run the most reasonable normie to ever live so they can win a swing district by 3 points against a wife-beating Christian Nationalist who got rich scamming nursing home residents and thinks black people look like that because Satan left them in the stove too long

I’m married to a beautiful Italian-American spitfire who could be Prime Minister Meloni’s sister. I know that posture well. This conversation was not a pleasant one for our President.

Are you F-ing KIDDING ME?! @Donlemonbsky has been arrested by the DOJ?! Exercising your first amendment constitutionally “protected” right gets you locked up, exercising your 2nd gets you killed, and actual murder… well in uniform, gets you nothing!
This IS NOT NORMAL nor OK!

“Woman gets pushed. Man goes to help her. Man gets pepper sprayed. Man gets pulled off the woman he is helping. Man gets wrestled and pinned down by 7 thugs. Man gets pistol whipped. Man gets shot ten times.” Demolish ICE!

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.
