When I wrote this back in January, I hoped it would make a few people smile. Now it's come full circle and made *me* smile, because @meganseling.bsky.social at @thestranger.com over in Seattle decided it would make a good cartoon, and got Greg Stump to draw one. 😁 www.thestranger.com/climate-issu...

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

For 2 years, I've worked with a bipartisan group of scholars on the "State of the Nation." We released our report today at Brookings. Big disconnect between the US economic performance and individual well-being. David Leonhardt's analysis in tomorrow's NYT.

No trade war I guess. Sadly this is being reported pretty much everywhere as "Early Trump win as Colombia backs down."
Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity
Trump: Trade war!
Colombia: OK
Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights
Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?
Trump: They gave in!

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.
