I don’t think people will ever let him forget that. But I don’t see anyone else engaging the far right extremists with a 10th of his passion, smarts and strength.

He’s ruthless and he doesn’t look back. We need ruthless defenders of human rights, the constitution and the rule of law. We need people with his commitment, but without his bigoted psychosis.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Question: Are there any independent journalists on this Rick Caruso story about how he saved his little Pacific Palisades mall, and how much he spent doing so? Did his private firefighters sign NDA’s? I heard he had a little water leftover and saved a house, is that proven? I smell smoke.

HOUSE UPDATE Republicans: 220 seats Democrats: 214 seats TBD: 1 seat (CA13, Dems lead) Could be a 220-215 majority, which shrinks to 217-215 early 2025 when you subtract Gaetz, Stefanik, Waltz. The GOP gerrymander in North Carolina (flipped 3 Dem seats) saved their majority.

8) Don’t give in to despair and surrender 9) Demand answers and accountability from our side too 10) Don’t be silent. 11) Form coalitions. We can disagree on details but stopping fascism matters now. 12) VOTE! It still matters. Just a few ideas. Almost none involve money. Just don’t quit.

I know who and what I believe, I think it’s just that many believe what they want to believe, rather than what the facts are. It’s sort of like people can have their own “news”, and do their own “research” Strange days indeed.
