I can’t be the only one thinking of buying an inflatable Christmas pig inflatable and writing “QUIET” with a yellow wig on the side.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

And if you've previously picked a side, you don't have to stay there. Whatever you may have thought Trump was, he's proven his unfit. Let's be pro-democracy now. We can go back to party politics when we get through this.
“If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side,” Sen. Chris Murphy said.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

From stonewalling at every turn for many months to rushing it into law in a matter of hours isn’t at all suspicious or sinister. Not at all.
Senate Republicans were so eager to dispense with the Epstein measure that they agreed with Schumer to declare it passed by unanimous consent--even though it has not formally been sent over by the House yet. It may land on Trump's desk tonight.

The thing about the latest news in the Nuzzi/Lizza story is that RFK cost the nation its measles elimination status.
"Heck of a job, Bobby."
"If the outbreaks cannot be extinguished by January, the anniversary of the first cases in Texas, the United States will lose what is known as “elimination status” as determined by the World Health Organization."

We’re now going on a decade of this LBJ quote being top-of-mind nearly every day:
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!
It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Neguse: The house since August 3rd has been in session for 12 days. Are you familiar with Steve Bannon? He compared the Congress to the Duma. Do you think that’s an apt comparison?

Republicans weren’t going to end the filibuster. They don’t want to lose their excuses to do nothing. They live to complain about the Dems because the Dems willingly accept the framing. Every. Single. Time.

40 year mortgages essentially were banished because they were so terrible for the home buyer.
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.
