It is not healthy to be perpetually online. Read paper books. Meditate. Go sit outside. Go for walks daily. Take care of yourself. Block out the noise so that you can be useful and not used up. 2025 will require much of each of us. Don’t waste these last few precious weeks before chaos strikes.

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

It’s a good day for the rule of law. It’s a good day for democracy.

This.

Publicize what these people said.

Publicize that they asked soldiers to abide by the Constitution and disobey illegal commands.

The meaning of what's happening with these demands from DJT needs to be crystal clear.
Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.
“Within the White House, Trump and his lieutenants aren’t planning on letting up…Trump has told some advisers that he wants RICO prosecutions and conspiracy charges leveled against the six Democrats, a source with direct knowledge of the matter tells Zeteo…

New York AG James: "I am heartened by today's victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country.

"I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day."

This ruling is also an indictment (pun intended) of Pamela Jo’s incompetence.

She illegally made Halligan the Interim US Attorney/EDVA per orders from Convicted Felon Trump. And then Bondi scrambled to make Halligan a “special attorney” just in case she wasn’t validly appointed in the first place.
JUST IN: Federal judge GRANTS without prejudice James Comey’s Motion to Dismiss Indictment based on the unlawful and invalid appointment of Trump Law-Lackey, Lindsey Halligan.

Sen. Kelly responds: "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."
Breaking:

Just days after Sen. Mark Kelly participated in a video asking service members to ‘refuse illegal orders,' the Pentagon now says it's opening an investigation into Kelly for "serious allegations of misconduct."

After being outted for passing off a Russian demand list as his own, Trump is now backtracking hard. The US is no longer demanding Zelenskyy sign the Ukraine surrender plan by November 27th.

Honestly, this is a solid take. Everything feels gritty with this team. I haven’t watched them quit in real time yet. I mean Jesus, TLaw threw basically 4 picks today, no BTJ, no RT, and yet they found a way to stay in it, and take the lead back multiple times. 7-4 is amazing, considering. #Jaguars
Jags of old lose that game. I dont care that it looked mostly ugly, we have a patchwork team right and they’re still finding a way to win. The culture is changing in real time.
