Beatles fan, grumpy old man.
I am just as fed up with left-wing purists as I am right-wing radicals. Both are committed to making our lives a living hell.

On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

Trump is so stupid. He has amplified the message that the military must disobey unlawful orders. If he had kept his mouth shut, it would have received far less attention. Par for the course!

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

"An argument that didn't work for Calley at My Lai, an argument that didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremberg."
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Nothing MTG does will ever make me forgive her for the last 5 years. Nothing.
That said, I will nod and tip my hat as she calls out her own party here. But make no mistake: she is not an ally.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I hope that Mike Johnson is finally giving a single health care policy because the country deserves it, and it shouldn't be a secret
Host: Maybe there is no plan
MTG: You know what? That, I believe, is the truth. There's no consensus, and I think that's a failure.

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.
