Right now, Greensboro, NC. Stand for the rule of law while we can, and while we can reverse course.

Good reminder that democracy is supposed to be messy and noisy, not simple and violent.

Lest you think that calling Congress doesn’t matter, GA’s QAnon-supporting Congresswoman MTG discussed the ACA on CNN this morning, noting how she “tracks all the calls coming into our office.” Kudos to CNN for bringing GOP leaders on the air (that MTG is a leader is not their fault).

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that even Barr opposed Patel at the FBI. EVEN BARR. From his book:

Let’s please focus on getting Dems and Independents to vote in 2026 and 2028. Forget GOP voters, 89% of whom still support Trump despite everything, according to newest CBS/Yougov. Dems and Independents are more than GOP voters, and two thirds of Independents don’t support Trump in same poll. #GOTV

I’ve been emailing my Trumpist Rep. Virginia Foxx (who was gerrymandered into being my Rep.) five times per week for the last month. In my email posted last night, I noted her lack of response. I received the below this morning.

Ratcliffe is apparently blaming the Help Desk for using Signal; it’s installed on his computer. Does he disable Solitaire? Or Xbox? Unbelievable.

Maybe he let people know that the docs were here via Signal?

FDR was criticized for handing Eastern Europe over to Stalin at Yalta because the Soviets gave up nothing in exchange — and, in fact, didn’t keep the few promises made. Other than the Russians offering nothing for “peace,” this gross support of Russian interests seems similar, but Trump isn’t FDR.

I don’t know why it just occurred to me that we elected our angry, delusional, uninformed uncle who doesn’t listen to reason, only watches Fox News or worse, believes anything that fits into his narrowly warped world view, blames everyone but himself for his problems, and rants but is best ignored.

Fantastic reporting by @cnn.com. Zelenskyy knows that flattery, stroking ego and telling Trump that he’s strong is the best way to get him on your side. And the double whammy is that Putin is a bully like Trump, so standing up to the bully and insulting his intelligence works also. Brilliant.

Whitehouse.gov is sending emails with the standard copyright legend on them. There’s one problem (if law still matters): the Federal Copyright Act prohibits the US government from copyrighting any of its original works. This is likely incompetence, but also, as usual from Trump 2.0, unlawful.

Tonight @ 7pm EDT on KZSU Stanford, @hearsayculture.bsky.social re-airs a 2017 interview with the late Prof. Dave Golumbia. Dave was an expert on the far right wing tech world; an area of expertise that is now front and center in the new Trump 2.0 administration. May his memory be a blessing.
