Listen to The Hartmann Report - Daily Take: America’s Long Coup: How the GOP Rigged, Lied, and Stole Its Way Into the White House for Over 50 Years by Thom Hartmann on Podcast Addict. The numbers are in. The evidence is overwhelming. And the silence is deadly. It’s time Democrats started calling this what it is: a decades-long criminal conspiracy to seize power by any means…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

MAGA is a distress signal arising from a propagandized mix of Libertarianism, John Birch Society ideology and "Lost Cause" nostalgia.

Its professional wrestling styled appeal to the childish masks a corrupt, inhumane leadership that seeks to profit from authoritarian rule resembling a 4th Reich.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Everybody is under his rule... The people live in fear of him, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good," since he banishes anyone thinking unhappy thoughts… Never having experienced any form of discipline, Donald does not even understand that his actions are wrong…

As a member along with Judge Gertner of the President’s Commission on the U.S. Supreme Court, I strongly endorse this term limits plan. Nancy Gertner explains and defends the plan better than anyone else who has written on this subject:

The Constitution Allows for Term-Limited Supreme Court Justices
A former federal judge discusses how term limits for Supreme Court justices would afford them the same status and opportunities that retired justices and federal judges currently enjoy.

#FeatureRequest re: revenue streams
Post.news' misunderstood/ignored micro payments failed. It should've supported the platform, rather than specific content.

Perhaps charge a "posting fee," e.g., 5¢ to post more than once during an hour.

Maybe ask Noam Bardin to leverage some micro payments code.

The FBI is indispensable. That said, the 💯% Republican leadership of “the bureau” has relentlessly skewed its cultural politics to be uniformly Conservative, metastasizing the corruption that successfully interfered in our 2016 election and allowed the insurrection.

The FBI should have done more to collect intelligence before the Capitol riot, watchdog finds
The report also said no undercover FBI employees were present that day and none of the bureau’s informants was authorized to participate.' to differentiate the headline and subhed.

I sure hope we don't have to do more than shush the ignorant assholes.

The next step beyond truth is WWIII. If the assholes demand it, the rest of us will have no choice.

The uber-rich techBros are the most dangerous assholes.

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification

This looks like a good place to stay awhile.
