Noem should resign over this.

Hegseth should resign over the Signal Chat scandal.

Trump should resign over the demo of the East Wing, the billions he’s made as POTUS, the hotel deals in Gaza…

None of them ever will. They know all they need to do is lay low until the storm passes.

Honestly think the easiest value to society you can add as a bloke is to stand up for women you don't know.

need to kill the recurring thought of "no I can't replay/reread that, I have other stuff to check out"

no. I am a poor little peasant living just after the advent of the printing press. I have five books at most and I will reread them so much they will know the death of the author was caused by me

The New York Times editorial board says Trump is "often in open defiance of the law." Yet the newsroom keeps using weasel wording like "testing the limits" and "stretching the boundaries." Either the NYT edit board is factually wrong or the NYT newsroom is afraid of the truth. You know what I think.

The New York Times likes to say Trump "has stretched the limits of his powers” and “tests the boundaries of the presidency.” But this is not a test or a stretching exercise. He’s a lawless politician building a dictatorship. Say it. 🧵 1/3

I’m rereading Liz Cheney’s book Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning. It occurs to me that Moses Mike Johnson is clearly guilty of treason. It also provides valuable insight on why he committed it. So he could personally benefit.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

The downside of a trick or treating w a two year old is it takes like two hours to go two blocks. The upside is they can’t count so you can steal most of their candy.

Trick or treat (Italian edition)
On November 1, 1918 Raffaele Paolucci and Raffaele Rossetti entered Pola harbor and attached mines to the hull of the former Austro-Hungarian battleship Viribus Unitus. She had been turned over to the nascent State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.
The ship sank in 15 minutes.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
