Nothing. America elected not just him, but a full cadre of yes-man Republicans that have spent the last 8 years kissing his ring and torpedoing anything he doesn't want done. In the Choose Your Own Adventure of politics, America has chosen the one that ends in a swamp full of maneating alligators.
Too bad for Mr. Chkhikvishvili - only the fact that he's a foreign national is keeping him from a presidential pardon.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This guy gets it. We need a united front against this regime. Set your differences aside and defeat this existential threat to all we hold sacred as a nation first. Once the fascist kleptocracy is out of power and in prison, we can refocus on other important issues. But right now? It's us vs them.
Well it is nitpicking. That's been the literal issue with the progressive side.
What purpose does that serve right now? If not to nitpick, in literally trying to fight tyranny and the dismantling 9f every freaking framework of democracy in the US.. How does it help?

Jesus. These were unlawful orders -- you can't kill civilian noncombatants -- but someone still carried them out. These squarely fall within the category of war crimes. Of the sort we tried and hanged Nazis for.
EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Attacked Boat Near Venezuela Multiple Times to Kill Survivors
American officials said the repeat drone strikes were carried out by Special Operations Command, and more attacks could come soon.

So if you are out on a boat Trump can just blow you up and kill you and everyone on board by saying you had drugs without presenting any proof? That’s how this works now?

Someone in Congress should draft a bill that cases against the executive branch passing an initial administrative review be fast tracked directly to SCOTUS. Because this regime is absolutely abusing the delaying tactics available to them via the endless appeals process.

Welp, looks like Revolution Wind is about to make a substantial Trump meme coin investment. And then one day soon, magically, like a miracle, the national security concerns will disappear.
The Revolution Wind farm was slated to start sending power to homes and businesses in Rhode Island and Connecticut starting next year.

THE SIEGE is the kind of good movie you get when Hollywood is accidentally a lot more honest about America than it normally is. (On all levels, you literally couldn't make the movie after 9/11.) I am duty-bound to always shout out this video essay by @honorszombie.bsky.social: vimeo.com/420865434

We've reached a point in this country where, should an actual frankfurter land within 5 feet of a federal agent, DOJ would consider this post enough evidence for Scott to be detained in a Louisiana prison for 6 months awaiting a preliminary hearing for criminal conspiracy to commit weiner assault.
I just want someone to throw a hot dog at an ICE agent so we can spend a day arguing about whether it was a sandwich.

In a conversation with the personal lawyer of the man with the ability to pardon her, the convicted child rapist and sex trafficker said that man with the power to pardon her did nothing wrong. Well that’s settled.
The most exhausting thing about this time is being condescended to by dipshits.
