When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Pretty bizarres, seeing as how they spent that last four years worrying about WW3 rather than getting behind the President (Biden) on Ukraine.

Seriously. I have more hope now than ever! America is awake and fighting back. The Regime is losing their asses in court. The lies are obvious. And approval ratings are in the shitter. And the marines aren’t happy about this one little bit. Stay peaceful and relentless and we got this! 100%!

I STILL know how far The Shire is from Mordor
You know which young people still know how to read maps? The ones who read fantasy books. Those have maps galore in them.
I remember when The Amazing Race first premiered and I was astounded at how many of the contestants didn't know how to read a map.

Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis.
It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

The reality is that the U.S. government is ALREADY remarkably transparent and has a ton of oversight over the work it does, and people have been working for years to make it more efficient. But that story isn't going to get clicks, so government bashing is the norm and the DOGE bros bought it all.
Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

We are 99 days into this administration. It is possible to draft Articles of Impeachment that mirror substantial portions of the Declaration of Independence.
Impeachment is not an option. It is a moral imperative.
Impeachment is not an option. It is a moral imperative.
The answer is simple. You impeach him again because he is acting criminally and unconstitutionally, and impeachment is what the rule of law demands in such circumstances.
You do it because it is the right thing to do.
But that's too simple for the pundit-brain class.

What would the point be of another Trump impeachment when he’s a lame duck and Rs won’t convict him?
Dems need an answer for the remnant of resistance people who are demanding impeachment but far more important for them to use normal Oversight powers effectively.
