If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless

My biggest Loser opinion which I nevertheless believe to be true is that early morning wake ups are a disease which should not be encouraged by society. 8 AM should be the equivalent of the crack of dawn in the new utopia

Can we all also just take a step back and recognize that Anthony Fauci had no public health policymaking power whatsoever He was director of a *research institute*, and as a virologist he was mainly brought to the Trump taskforce to provide intellectual cred & heft

my memory of the tea party is that shortly after their appearance the republicans would go on to capture all branches of government to this very day so actual positions aside im not sure why people think comparing them to the DSA is a negative

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

A new granite walkway. Refinishing the wall to glue those hideous gold accents. Trump claimed he was paying for all of it. He lied. They’ve been looting the National Parks.
THE PATHWAY THAT CONNECTS the
White House residence to the
Oval Office has long been paved in Tennessee flagstone. Every president since
Harry Truman made the 45-second commute, and made it without complaint, until Donald Trump. The dun rock would not do. Instead, Trump wanted polished African granite, carved in Italy, with a flamed-finish stripe-slightly raised, to prevent slips—running down the middle. As workers tore up the flagstone last March, a reporter asked Trump who was paying for the enhancements. "Paid for by me," he replied.But that wasn't true. Budget documents from the National Park Service that I obtained show that the walkway replacement cost taxpayers $689,232, and is part of a $1.3 million project that included repairing adjacent stone and masonry and providing new hardware for nearby doors. A year earlier, in a separate
"Rush project at request of POTUS," the Park Service spent $347,503 to remove and replace the stucco on the colonnade wall, a project that cleared the way for Trump to affix gold frames and plaques mocking some of his predecessors.

Has Buster Posey gone into hiding? Maybe. And it's probably a good idea, given how he stacks up against the 9 other top execs in Giants history. www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...

Where is Buster Posey?
When last we heard from Buster Posey, he was praising a struggling bullpen and putting his support behind Tony Vitello.

Every other team in the WBC has demonstrated a love of country, baseball, their fans, their teammates, and a love of joy itself and Mark De Rosa and the U.S. team have offered nothing but gross pro-military horseshit. They're just the worst and I hope the D.R. hangs a dozen runs on 'em.

my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
