Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

GOOD. From the comments, Biden “finally does the right thing and refused to kneecap himself by adhering to rules his fascist opponents abandoned decades ago.” Institutionalism be damned; let’s see more of this in the next six weeks.
BREAKING: President Biden pardons Hunter Biden for "those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024."

If the Dem Party leaders don't understand that they need to coalesce around Pete Buttigieg going into 2025 and beyond they'll continue to flounder in the woods. He's the last of the modern national politicians that seems to grasp the fundamentals of public service. My $0.02.

Which is precisely why the GOP constantly seeks to control and degrade the education process.
If you keep voters dumb and afraid, they’re far easier to manipulate.

I just spotted the trend. Trump’s health agency picks deny the existence of diseases or blame them on lifestyle choices.
Kill the ACA, change the guidance, & insurance will stop covering them, including Medicare.
Bye-bye, insulin. Dr. Oz and RFK say diabetes is your fault and your responsibility.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

Honestly, one of the best defenses we will have over the next four years is getting the leopards to eat each other’s faces. Sew all the suspicion, jealousy, backstabbing and discord. If they’re tearing each other apart, they can’t enact their insane agendas.
