while I know that Steve Cohen has been a reliable progressive/liberal vote in Washington, I truly have never seen him respond in a progressive way to things happening Memphis.

as old as shit I am and a believer in the Constitution as I have been, but it's never occurred to me until just now that the idea of "separation of powers" is BS. The powers are asymmetric.

Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.

Happy Confederate surrender Day.

While we rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom!"

‘This movement can’t be expelled’: TN State Rep. on GOP’s ‘cowardice’
One year ago, Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson was expelled from Tennessee’s House of Representatives after he attended a protest for gun control in the wake of a mass shooting at a Nashville-area school. But that didn’t deter him from pursuing his change. “When you are in a position of power, you have a responsibility to do more than send thoughts and prayers,” he says. “You have a responsibility to act.” His expulsion, he says, was an act of “cowardice” by the Republican Party of Tennessee. “It’s because they do not believe in a democracy where people’s voices are valued.”

Kingsley Wilson, the newly-appointed DoD Deputy Press Secretary, believes in a thoroughly-debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory. I've mostly only seen this theory promoted by mask-off neo-Nazis.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

you can travel almost all the way from Memphis to New Orleans without leaving blue counties if you hug the river.
needless to say it's a very cool drive.
