We cannot normalize this kind of transactional politics. Every Democrat should be united against Trump’s open corruption. He’s blatantly using pardon power to shield political allies, and ensure they are personally indebted to him. Cuellar is now on that list.

The prosecutor appointed to replace Fani Willis in Georgia moved to dismiss the election fraud conspiracy case against Trump & others. Judge McAfee just granted that motion. Case over.
BREAKING: Judge Scott McAfee grants motion to dismiss Georgia case against Trump, others.

The Fulton County case -- which resulted in guilty pleas by Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Scott Hall, and Kenneth Chesebro -- is officially done.

Reflections on 2010s-era UBI discourse, why it faded, and why AI should prompt a revival. But the news-pegged piece is about nabbing Bondi et al if they tamper with Epstein evidence. After drafting this, I caught promising stuff from @rokhanna.bsky.social and Mark Kelly, just in time to include it.

(a) This is disgusting, dangerous behavior.

(b) If you don't think this is also a way to turn the page from Epstein, allow me to introduce you to Trump's last decade in public life.

Should be a scandal that the Vice President of the United States is yukking it up in an interview with Breitbart, a racist gutter site that used to have a special tag for "Black Crime"
JD Vance: "He's fundamentally a humanitarian, and we've got 8 peace deals at this point. We're working on number 9 and number 10. And I think if he gets number 10, purely for mathematical harmony the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J Trump."

If one thing is clear, it’s this regime doesn’t care about democracy and it won’t leave on its own. That’s why we have to show up in the streets, withdraw our consent, and make it impossible for them to govern. Only sustained, collective pressure will force their departure. 🇺🇸

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

While we are outraged about Trump posting pictures of his desecration of Lincoln's bedroom bathroom, let's not forget that Americans should have been more outraged about these pictures from Trump's bathroom in Florida.

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?
