I like this quote from Timothy Snyder: “To normalize what is happening is to take part in the regime change.”

Jon Stewart … just … kind of … sucks.
NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

Thomas, come on. The post was clearly intended as a condemnation of both sides. Why use an abstraction like “ideological opponents”? Why not say, “There is a growing and palpable bloodlust *among people like Megyn Kelly and her followers*”?

If there are *any* Democrats in Congress who will still vote to keep funding this administration when it is using that money to terrorize our cities and refusing to allow congressional representatives their clear right to observe their activities, then those reps need to be primaried into retirement
I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

In two years or so, we’re going to hear some centrist Democratic candidates talking about how we have to continue to occupy Venezuela because we have an obligation to rebuild it or some such bullshit.

Trump admits he just started an illegal war with Venezuela so our oil companies can steal Venezuelan oil.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Trump admits he just started an illegal war with Venezuela so our oil companies can steal Venezuelan oil.
Trump used an elite special forces unit of the U.S. Army known as Delta Force to invade a sovereign nation and capture one of its citizens. The unauthorized action follows months of U.S. military buildup with the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and numerous other warships threatening Venezuela.
Trump used the military, not the FBI. There is no analogy to law enforcement.

Trump is comparing his military victory over Venezuela to Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine. Trump is bragging that we made war better than Russia. Trump is acknowledging that our aggression is comparable to Russian aggression. We’ve proudly achieved rogue nation status under Trump.
Trump on China: "There's not gonna be a problem. They're gonna get oil. We're gonna allow people to have oil ... nobody can stop us."

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith special counsel to oversee the criminal investigations into Donald Trump on November 18, 2022, a needless delay of 20 months from March 11, 2021 when Garland was appointed as the United States Attorney General.
AG Garland was one of Biden’s biggest failures.

A Democrat cannot learn how to win a category of voters who are rightwing cultists. Efforts will fail unless the Democrat stops being a Democrat or the voters stop being rightwing cultists. Referring to those voters as just rural minimizes the problem and suggests a solution that’s illusory at best.
Reality check: Van Epps margin of victory was 9%. The swing in favor of Democrats--Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024--was 13 points, not 15. Van Epps won 13 of 14 counties. Credit Aftyn Behn with a hard-fought Pyrrhric victory. Democrats still must learn how to win rural voters.

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:
