anti-big-business because Teddy Roosevelt (below) was a a trust-busting, environmentalist Republican, but we wouldn’t call modern Republicans anti-corporation. Southern Democrats in the 1860s were conservatives—a fact that eludes the MAGA crowd. (cont) www.britannica.com/biography/Th...

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Instead of shying away from the values of democracy, pluralism, and rights—as many consultants and pundits urge—Ossoff asserts those values. Look at what he’s gotten so much praise for: calling a white nationalist a “white nationalist” and treating that as bad. As a reason to vote against someone.

If I’m reading this correctly, the USA was exporting about 1.5 million barrels of diesel a day, so the imports from Russia will offset like a day’s exports.

Trump is helping Russia finance its war against Ukraine because his own stupid war has made him desperate for Russian diesel. What a humiliation and what a betrayal of the Ukrainians.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

It's important to understand that the point of ICE arresting protesters is not to bring charges that will stick, it's to make protesters suffer violence during the arrest and while they're being detained, and then suffer financially and emotionally while they fight the bogus legal cases against them

There’s this strange belief that saying the enemy’s name lends them strength, but the implicit underpinning of that idea is that saying their name requires you to adopt subtly apologetic, fearful, hedged criticisms. If you say their name while slugging them in the face, you simply look unafraid.
