It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

I am licensed in multiple states for health insurance and I have my 2026 FFM certification for ACA plans

Off-exchange plans are still offered by insurance carriers, and the money would still be going to them, but without the benefits and discounts available through the exchange
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

Specifically, Trump dumps shit on No Kings protesters in this AI slop video, while wearing a crown.

But Hillary said "deplorables" once nine years ago, so let's keep talking about that for another couple of decades.

This is a complete abdication of journalistic responsibility. A president posting something this insane and disgusting should be front and center in the news.
Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

For one, the federal government cannot constitutionally commandeer state officials to do its bidding.

But more importantly, the president does not see his political opposition as legitimate but rather as a target for a carceral and militaristic state. It is deeply undemocratic and authoritarian.
I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

One time, I interviewed the Secretary of Agriculture. I worked for about a week to make sure that I didn’t ask a question that would violate the Hatch Act.

Meanwhile, these MFers exist…

It would be great to find out if Patel is still sending new agents to the Holocaust Museum as part of their training. We went in the first week and after seeing the museum had a discussion about complicity and law enforcement that was led by someone from the ADL. This was started in 2001 by Freeh.
Posting this three hours before the start of Yom Kippur is quite a choice

If anyone has any internal DOJ memoranda opining on the merits of charging Jim Comey, please send it to me and I may or may not provide it anonymously to the press.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. .

Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.
President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

It's a cliche to say it at this point, but breaking the law for over a year while negotiating a deal that gives two of his biggest campaign donors part ownership over the most influential social media platform in the world would have been the defining scandal for any other president.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.

Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Look at photos of US troops in Fallujah. (eg here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... )

They're armed like these ICE agents in Chicago.

But none of them are wearing the cowardly face masks of today's ICE thugs. Like the one throwing a young, female Congressional candidate to the ground.

/8 I think there is a temptation, if you talk and write and debate for a living, to say that talking and writing and debating is inherently morally praiseworthy. I'm not sure it is. But that reflects a general philosophical split that I have with many people who talk about free speech:

/7 So I question the proposition that just because Charlie Kirk didn't go around killing people, but went around belittling and demeaning and dehumanizing them instead, that he's inherently admirable. Would I be a hero if I said I will debate ANYONE about whether black people are human? No.

/6 To me this is a little like the virtue of bravery. Bravery seems morally neutral in itself; its virtue depends on its ends. Very few people say "look, I don't agree with the 9/11 hijackers, but they were really brave and that's admirable."
