This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Pablo Torre's phenomenal work exposing the Clippers scandal sticks out so much because whatever passes for sports "journalism" these days, especially at the most visible levels, is just back-slapping bullshit or quid pro quo contract announcement stenography. It doesn't have to be this way.

A Sitting Judge Just Delivered the Most Scathing Critique of This Supreme Court Term
The Supreme Court has veered so far off track that even the harshest language can feel inadequate to capture the damage wrought by its most recent term.

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

"As a rule, when responding to a bomb threat, ICE isn’t the first law enforcement agency that comes to mind — what are they going to do, detain the bomb for weeks in squalid conditions before deporting it to a country it’s never been to before?..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The problem(s) with Mullin’s answer about ICE agents at voting precincts
The administration keeps confronting opportunities to make clear that it won’t deploy ICE agents to polling places. It also keeps leaving the door wide open.

Always remember that the coup never ended. This un-American action, that would imprison everyone involved in a normal and functioning government, should disqualify all involved.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Critics say that Trump's war with Iran could have a lot of blowback. But there is no historical precedent for the United States overthrowing an Iranian government and then facing 50 years of hostility from Iranians.

One notable thing that Pritzker and Newsom have been doing is making the case that immigrants and native-born Americans share in one another's social and economic fates. They've been elevating the visibility of immigrants as a positive national good. This is a model Dems could use more widely:

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

This has been a significant problem with mass media over the past two decades (at a minimum). The insistence on “neutrality” and not objectivity has resulted in minor things being portrayed as something major (Hillary’s emails) while objectively major things are ignored (gesturing wildly).

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same thing and are, in fact, often contradictory goals. The objective truth is often not neutral in its political implications, and it would be a useless exercise if it was.
