America's governors have a choice: administer decline under federal coercion, or build parallel capacity — health data walls, election defenses, and non-cooperation statutes — that make coercion expensive.

One of the Dem weaknesses is that we refuse to attack the MAGA base. Meanwhile they attack Dems as inherently evil people who might be demonic and whatever their corrupt politician is doing “Dems are worse”

all politics is performative the performance communicates important things to voters Not impeaching sends a clear message that both parties are totally cool with massive corruption in the executive branch It's a really horrible thing to do

"Musk spends....his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil. It is that fact, and not the cars he builds or the rockets he launches, that ought to define his place in public life."

What I don't understand is why US companies don't want Medicare for all. Providing, paying for, and dealing with health insurance is an enormous cost to US firms of all sizes. Seems like they would want that off their books to increase profits and free up money for investing in their businesses.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Conservatives used to argue that if a popular movie encouraged courage and hope and celebrated family that that meant it was conservative and you should vote Republican. Now they argue that if a popular movie encourages courage and hope and celebrates family it is leftist propaganda.

There is nothing “conservative” about the far right authoritarian party in 2026, & we should stop using that word to describe it or its politicians. They absolutely love affirmative action & welfare spending. It’s just that they do not want either of those things to be universal.

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption. It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

NYT quoting AOC when she says “um”: This dumb girl can’t talk NYT quoting Trump after sticking a fork up his nose into his brain and rambling about sharpie pens: Doth thine lion howl with instincts known not learned by man, or sound his sonorous roar as prophecy to gaze back upon history itself?
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.NYT on March 26, 2026:

Mr. Trump is correct that Sharpies are cheaper, but he overstated the cost of past presidential writing instruments. (Whether Sharpies are better is in the eye of the penholder.)
A.T. Cross, which is based in Rhode Island, said it had manufactured the penspreferred by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom used the Townsend model. The pen, described by Cross as possessing a “bold profile, intricate detailing and superior writing performance,” now retails for about $200. (The classic black version costs about $265.)
President Joseph R. Biden Jr. preferredCross’s Century II model, which the company says brings “modern flair to a time-honored design.” That model is slightly less expensive, ranging from $99 to $270 a pen.
Luxury pen enthusiasts, it should be noted, often describe Cross pens as relatively affordable alternatives to other famous pens made by Montblanc and Nakaya, which can retail for over $1,000.
