It may be that members of Congress and the public are so focused on the “war crimes” narrative not only because of the President’s false war framing, but also because criticizing war overreach is in our muscle memory.

We’re not used to accusing *our own* president of mass summary executions.
“Extrajudicial killing is something our government condemns when it is conducted by other nations with deplorable human rights records. We must now summon the strength of our convictions to look in the mirror and hold ourselves to the same standards.”

"Do we want rule by law, laws that are based on neutral principles that we understand, or do we want something arbitrary where, at any moment, the President can take someone out?"
What kind of government do we want to live under? Nihilistic attitudes will be self-fulfilling.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

If you’re looking for a job in the Trump Administration, loyalty to MAGA is the only required skill.

@thelisagraves.bsky.social joined me for a new episode of Making the Case to discuss MAGA madness and dark-money mischief.

I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm saying in this video, beyond saying that I think it captures an absurd truth about our current situation.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Republicans control the White House and Congress. They can end this shutdown any time they want.

Instead, they’re relaxing on vacation while nearly 42 million people go hungry because of them. They don't deserve to be in politics. In 2026, we're coming for their seats.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.
