Reminder to Dem leadership as midterms approach: throwing out the demented US healthcare system and replacing it with something modeled in approaches proven to cost less and provide better results in other countries is a *centrist* position.

Watching @schumer.senate.gov talking about Venezuela and yukking it up with Rubio is grotesque. Any Dem Senate candidate who won’t commit working to remove Schumer from leadership should be primaried into oblivion. We can’t have this impotent fool running the show.

So ICE assembled a group of thugs after lowering the standards for getting them job, sends them out to terrorize and intimidate people, and they shoot someone in the head for “threatening” them. Who could have seen it coming? And now they’re lying their asses off about it.

Aging pets are a huge emotional burden but if you orient yourself around “how do I give her a good day today?” it is easier. And knowing you are giving them your all is a kind of grace that will get you through the dark moments.

It's fun watching @daringfireball.bsky.social coming to grips with what's been obvious for at least the last year or so; that Apple UI design is on an express train to Garbageville. (I say this as someone who's used Mac stuff since the first Mac.)

“President sells stolen goods to fund a private slush fund” is not actually something the US Constitution allows.
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

I really hope Denmark is taking this seriously and creating concrete plans of response should Trump try to take Greenland by force. He is crazy enough to do it and if he does it will shatter NATO and Taiwan and Ukraine are likely collateral damage. Big issue for Canada also.

File this one away to use on your boss! “How are you going to get this project finished?” “I’m retaining optionality.”
BRENNAN: To be clear, there is no plan for US occupation of this country of nearly 30 million people?

I think that people are generally bad at recognizing tipping points - human nature. Thinking we missed the tipping 10-15 years ago, and now it’s metastasized. I know, not a hopeful thought, but we are good convincing ourselves things won’t change that much.

Seeing this impotent statements from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and company fills me with despair. They may not have the power for clear wins but they have power to throw grit into the gears of the GOP. Hakeem! You claim to be a leader. So lead! If you can’t, get the hell out of the way.

Hey @washingtonpost.com, why are you subserviently repeating that the US has "captured" the leader of a foreign country when it's clearly we've actually done a kidnapping?

Seeing all these news stories about Maduro being “captured” but when you drop into a country you’re not at war with and take their chief executive, seems like the right verb is “kidnapped.”

Launching a campaign to make sure the phrase "Kavanaugh Stop" makes it into his obit.
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."
