I don't not trust this administration to do whatever they can to stay in power and hide from accountability.
One way to guard against this is a complete blow out with record level participation across the country, similar to what we recently saw in the special election.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Perhaps in the spirit of renewal that comes with the new year tonight I'm allowing myself a sliver of belief that the current regime is badly overplaying its hand.

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure that taking your medical advice from a conspiracy theorist, a tv doc and a reality gameshow host might just be a really fucking bad idea.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

Via @mainenewsroom.bsky.social's Instagram we learn that a new UNH poll found 95% of Mainers want to ban stock trading by members of Congress.
Not only does Susan Collins oppose a ban; her portfolio went up a bonkers 77.5% in 2024 -- an eyebrow-raising return even for a Wall St pro. #MEpolitics
