Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification—And Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he broke that law.
Charge him. Now.
Charge him. Now.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

The literal least you could do. This is stolen land from Native people (Thanks Teddy Roosevelt). You have an OBLIGATION not only to stop its sale and destruction, but to return it to its faithful stewards before it is too late. And it almost is.
Please take responsibility. This is your home too.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.
Your favorite campgrounds, hiking trails, and forests could soon be up for auction
Republicans want to make 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale to housing developers.

1. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave a interview with Ezra Klein at the New York Times.
It has been used to seed the ground for a rightward shift in the Democratic Party on trans rights.
Some allies have failed to grasp the problems with her approach.
Here's what McBride gets wrong.

The No Kings movement needs to be mobilized to become the Democratic Tea Party. Leaders like Clyburn, and many others, need to go.
That Clyburn thinks Andrew Cuomo is part of the future of the Democratic Party - and points to his character!!! — is the problem with the current Democratic Party leadership in a nutshell.
