Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

"So what does he say? He says he's going to put a 10% cap on interest rates. You know what he hasn't done? Put a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. There's all sorts of things that come out of the man's mouth."

Jimmy Kimmel started something. Now we need some NFL player offering T$ump his Super Bowl ring, and some star offering their Oscar. Maybe he’d back down if he had enough prizes.

the police raid on the marion county record was so astonishing because it was pretty much the first of its kind in the united states. once that line was crossed—even at a small local newspaper—we couldn't go back. and now here we are, with the FBI carrying the torch.

"In a dictatorship...once this process begins, it is hard to stop.
If they don't like strongman rule, they think, they can just elect someone else the next time. This misses the point. If you help a strongman come to power, you are eliminating democracy. You burn that bridge behind you.

Dr. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has written many powerful works, but this one stopped me dead in my tracks when I first read it. Please take the time, and share widely.

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

So the Senate isn't a done deal?
It could take a week?
Then the House needs to accept and vote with just 1 week before holiday recess?

Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure.
The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.
