Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19)
Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day)
Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.
How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

Mark Grant has been the soundtrack to Padres baseball my entire life. I can’t imagine watching the Padres without him, he’s as much a part of the fabric of this organization as ANYONE in its history. If this is the end, I really hope it was his decision alone.

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

Thinking about the Supreme Court's decision to hear oral argument in the cases addressing Trump's birthright citizenship Executive Order
In the context of the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case
And Trump's chilling assertion that "homegrowns are next"
Should scare the hell out of everyone

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien."
Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway.
This is Fascism.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off
I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.
