An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

With all of the Trump/Musk mayhem, don't ignore the GOP's continued assault on free and fair elections.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class.

How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally?

Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

The perfect Calvin & Hobbes panel for this moment

Gaza is this week’s bright shiny object. Pay attention to Trump’s effort to aggregate as much govt power as possible in the WH & convert the civil service into loyalists, while GOP members of Congress watches let it happening without exercising their constitutional power to check it.

As I used to tell my ex and so many others during Shit Show I, the walking that WH staff really should be doing is walking Trump into the psych ward at Walter Reed!

My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.

The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

The U.S. Air Force will resume teaching about the nation's first Black pilots and the women pilots of World War II. This followed widespread public outcry over their earlier decision to stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs.

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.
