I've never thought there was a bad time to be honest about the fact that a horrible person is/was horrible. But after this week's whitewashing of Kirk by the media and political commentariat, it feels not just permissible but essential to fight both sentimentality and dishonesty at top volume.

The Washington Post just published its latest op-ed lamenting the "outrageously excessive fine" that was imposed on Donald Trump and celebrating it being "thrown out."

Democracy died over there. Now we just get to read about its rotting corpse.

Great segment @normornstein.bsky.social

too bad there was not a government department dedicated to efficiency that could stop the waste over $1 billion to fix up a plane a foreign government was trying to pawn off on Trump.

They could call it the department of government efficiency.

A victory for Democrats, rule of law and the courts and a defeat for Trump and the GOP.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Republicans never cared about “cutting costs.”

The budget they just passed made it crystal clear - all they care about is making the rich richer at the expense of everyone else.

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny.

It is not the constitution that is failing us.

It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.
