Question since I am young enough not to fully remember: have state governors always taken over the role of monitoring state safety re:conflict abroad or is this new?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

THAT is how we should cover trump’s claims of inherent power or his intent to run for a third term. not as something allowed by some unforeseen loopholes (“the card says moops!”) but as a statement that he intends to ignore the constitution altogether in pursuit of power. (5)

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

i am a professional politics knower and without passing judgment on today’s little argument i will say that i agree with this. no one is entitled to a seat and if someone feels they could better represent the area they should go for it.
I'm not a professional politics-knower, but as a voter I just do not find the procedural 4D chess arguments people make with respect to whether someone "should" primary an elected official at all persuasive

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.”
Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

I hope people realize that Trump is trying to make it illegal to criticize his regime.
They are trying to give themselves the ability to spy on, target, and arrest anyone who criticizes them. They want to end freedom of speech in America.
Let’s be clear about what they’re doing.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

First they came for the pro-Palestinian activists, and if you don't speak up now it's only going to get harder and scarier.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe

Tesla down 15%.
Now is the time to double down on protests.
The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light.
Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla.
Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.
