I am pretty definitionally moderate: regulated capitalism, free (import/export) markets, robust welfare system (not fully sold on Medicare for all), plus gun owner, Catholic, LGBT. I could continue
It is also my only goal in life at this point to see the complete destruction of the Republican Party

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Former army clemency & parole board member here. Boards I was on for GWOT war criminals — Mahmudiyah murders; Gibbs’s kill squad — had the common denominator of poor leadership. Leadership vacuum filled by “leaders” who viewed others as sub-human. We’re witnessing the same but at the national level.

You can reason with people who are curious but un- or ill-informed: I gave an A to a student in a medieval history class who asked me on the first day when Game of Thrones took place, because she read the material, worked hard, and produced well-argued essays. You can't work with bull-headed morons.

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings.
We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

How are rural residents supposed to shop around for emergency care? What do they do when there's only one hospital for miles?
Especially when GOP Medicaid cuts are CLOSING those hospitals!

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

We should stop focusing on President as Saviour. We need a Congress, state legislatures and everything. Presidents aren’t God and should have less power.

The thing about the American Catholic Church is a lot of these guys aren't too many generations removed from ancestors who immigrated to America. A lot of these guys are my dad's age, and my dad remembers spending summers with his Irish immigrant grandmother.

It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...
Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights

Let's just use our common sense here: it seems pretty clear why Donald Trump has fought tooth and nail against releasing the Epstein files.
