Columbus and Lindbergh are two famous people whose storied reputations depend on our never learning the rest of the story.

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.

pearls are being clutched all over midtown Memphis about Justin Pearson running for TN District 9 in competition with Steve Cohen.

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.

I think Elvis and Jerry Lawler also make a good case for No Kings.

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.

"The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the Traitors, up with the Stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom!"

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.
