That 1/3 of my fellow Americans enjoy this madness is truly disappointing. It seems their souls are already broken.

Good read from @paulwaldman.bsky.social on the urgent need to reform this out-of-control SCOTUS.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances?

There’s No Such Thing as a Preventative MRI — but There’s Definitely Such a Thing as Political Bullshit
Since 2005, I’ve had at least one MRI every single year of my adult life. I know MRIs the way other people know Spotify playlists or the McDonald’s menu.

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who worked alongside Pete Hegseth for years at Fox, says the Sept. 2 boat strike is "an act of a war crime."
"Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of Defense, to the admiral, to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted."

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
