I’m trying not to react to all the ‘stuff’ flowing from the Trump people. However it’s incredibly difficult to remain sane in this increasingly complex of discourse designed to overwhelm ethics and societal morality.

OTD, the Respect for Marriage Act was signed into law, securing marriage equality for all Americans. While MAGA Republicans continue to push policies that threaten equality and undermine basic freedoms, Democrats stand firm in protecting LGBTQ+ rights. Love is love!

She took it back, but when Sec Def Hegseth's own Mom writes him an email in the middle of a "difficult" divorce accusing him of abusing "many" women, how does the Senate confirm him? Do GOP Senators have any character left, or are they just going to bend the knee? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...
Pete Hegseth’s Mother Accused Her Son of Mistreating Women for Years (Gift Article)
Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

Happy 100th Birthday to my Soror, the legendary late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm! A trailblazer who shattered barriers and made history with unapologetic strength and fierce love for the people.

Your legacy still inspires me to fight for justice, equality, and a better tomorrow.

Whatever a border czar is, they don't have arrest authority. Federal law enforcement officers do, pending judicial enforcement. Consultation with prosecutors is the norm for pre-planned arrests & here's the kicker: people being arrested must have actually committed a crime.

The President just signed my first bill to become law!

Proud of my bipartisan Inspector General Parity Act. This reform improves oversight & strengthens the Government Accountability Office to continue detecting fraud, & corruption in government. More important now than ever.

Let me understand. 10% on China with whom we have the biggest trade deficit and while the CCP ships fentanyl but 25% on our allies Canada and Mexico? Is the new doctrine punish our friends but take it easier on our economic rival?

If you're looking for alternatives to traditional media I hope you'll consider my newsletter, Civil Discourse, which focuses on the intersection between law & politics & is free. I've been writing about Trump's connection to Project 2025 for over a year joycevance.substack.com/p/project-20...
Project 2025: It's On (Predictably)
Before Bill Barr became Donald Trump’s third attorney general, he circulated a memo that was more or less an audition tape for the job he ultimately got.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.

The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.

This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Who knew? When fossil fuel companies are told where they’re emitting methane they don’t do anything about it. Can’t be trusted.

About 160 countries and 140 companies pledged to combat the potent greenhouse gas, yet releases from the fossil fuels sector remain near record highs.

State owned or affiliated media. Slashing federal workers & institutions. Disinformation campaigns. Making the rich richer. Controlling women and their bodies. Folks, it’s starting.

Don’t let the moment pass you, and if you need rest do so quickly, because we need to be ready to fucking fight.

I understand that the Trump transition is not submitting nominees for FBI background checks, and that in many cases there appears to be no formal vetting at all.

But are they also not just... uh... googling?
