Jonathan Turley is obsessed with me to the point that it's creepy. I suppose I can't expect more from a guy who is essentially just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Wild that the Secretary of Transportation is out here pretending pull-ups are policy while the rest of us are just trying to make sure bridges don’t collapse and planes don’t fall out of the sky.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

One of the most important episodes I have done as Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social doesn't suffer fools & delivers the insight we need about what is going on with these strikes:
The details are coming out fast and furious about the 9/2 vessel strike.

US Army Ret. Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social gives REAL insight into what went down that day & why the Trump Administration’s “lethality over legality” is destroying America’s credibility.

At a minimum, a Democratic President and Congress, when re-creating these indpendent agencies that Trump is gutting, or repairing other damage he's done - all with the consent/concurrence of the SCOTUS majority, must write the legislation to include sections removing SCOTUS appellate jurisdiction.

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.

Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.

Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."
