Honestly impressive to have ~ 2.5 failed nominees a month and a half before you’re even constitutionally entitled to nominate anyone.

So tax the rich. Clean and simple. Find the funds from the rich.
Why are Republicans so obsessed with taking away the benefits from the poor, while giving so many leeways and so much tax cuts to the super rich. It’s obscene.

Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

He'll still ignore any evidence that interferes with what he wants to do.
The convicted felon president has agreed to FBI background checks on his cabinet nominees.
The fact this is what qualifies as a big victory is quite sad.

Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.

This is my gratitude, too.
In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!

FYI, that is the plan here, too.
Pay attention to what’s happening in South Korea.
A scandal-ridden President just declared martial law and deployed armed forces to Parliament, which was going to block the declaration.
Government took control of media and banned political protest.
