Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

We tend to mistake strength for intensity.
But resilience is often quieter than that: regulation, continuation, adaptation. This piece explores why so many people already possess deep inner strength...and simply haven’t been taught how to recognize it.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Clarity. Trumpollini is Putin's Flying Monkey performing Chechnya style violence in his quest for power.

Immigration is just a convenient excuse for Trump to create his Gestapo. He picked an issue that would excite the haters, but the issue itself is immaterial to him. Only money and power matter.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
