I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

I much prefer doing my research amidst the flickering lanterns of an old-fashioned library in Prague during a raging thunderstorm with the help of a library ghost, so no, I'm afraid I have no interest in "asking ChatGPT."

Many are running for pivotal state-level roles like governor or secretary of state that wield enormous power to undermine a fair election.

Our Ruler,

Who Art in Florida,

Branded be thy name.

Thy kingdom, dumb

Thy cabinet, scum

Thy girth, size fifty-seven.


Give us this day our bigly bread;

And give us our guest-passes,

As we trespass against those who look more defenseless;

And lead us now, to more inflation,

But deliver us from feminists;

Yay Men.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Assuming we even have Midterms & a 2028 POTUS election, and assuming Democrats don't fumble and win WH/House/Senate (as voters have delivered for them in 2020), then AT A MINIMUM: -Expand SCOTUS -Impose term limits -Enforce a binding ethics policy -Impeach & remove corrupt Justices AT. A. MINIMUM.

“You know we’re in a war,” President Trump said yesterday, as a White House letter to Congress asserted that the War Powers Act doesn’t apply because there’s no war. Utter contempt. Congress is cool with it. Because the GOP majority also has contempt for the law, Constitution, country, and people.

The orange felon calls it unconstitutional to need war approval from Congress. I think it’s unconstitutional for a deranged convicted criminal who committed sedition to have been give full power of the country’s government instead of being sent directly to prison for treason.

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

I don't care what Kristi Noem and her husband are doing in their private lives. It's none of my business what consenting adults do in private. But I do find it very strange that these people believe the private lives of the rest of us are their business while they're doing this.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.
