Forcing optimism despite all ... this.
If/when he's back, which is the least that is owed him, he and his family will become a target of unending relentless harassment by DOJ and MAGA, no?
Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

Can the "opposition party" please start opposing something, please?

Or do we have to wait for it to see its own shadow and NOT be scared by it?

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

The anti-trans obsessives cannot fathom that a trans woman be viewed as their equal, let alone that we'd elected to public office or work the same job as them.

And no amount of capitulation will sate their rage. That is why it's imperative that we resist their efforts at each and every turn.
And there you have it.

Nancy Mace comes out and says, "It's offensive that a man in a skirt thinks that he's my equal"

That is what is driving them so mad. That a transgender person, duly elected to represent 1,000,000 people, could ever be her equal.

I don't think people understand just how bad things are about to get. We're sleepwalking into a full blown dictatorship. Normalcy bias and denial are keeping people deluded that it's not happening.

the thing to note about the Elon “Department of Government Efficiency” thing is that the Government Accountability Office already exists and serves this basic function. the problem is that it’s largely serious and nonpartisan. they’re trying to build their own hyper-ideological version of it.

Journalists, there is no such thing as the Department of Governmental Efficiency. It does your readers, listeners, and viewers no good to pretend that there is one because the President-elect says so.
