I haven't seen anyone explicitly note that bribery is one of the enumerated reasons for impeachment in the Constitution. It comes right after treason!

'Trump was desperate to claim a ‘deal’ that could be presented to a hostile US working class as a ‘victory’ that would inevitably offset the economic catastrophe of inflationary price increases caused by the failed war against Iran.'

TX Senate candidate Ken Paxton says he's doing poorly in the polls because voters "don't know what James Talarico is all about." That seems damning – that voters know Paxton, don't know his opponent, and clearly prefer "not Paxton."

More than a dozen local law enforcement agencies across the country have used opioid settlement money to procure Flock cameras and other AI-powered automated license plate readers (ALPRs), an investigation by Mother Jones has found.

Police are spending opioid settlement funds on Flock cameras
Historic opioid settlements were supposed to be a lifeline for underserved communities. But much of that money is flowing to law enforcement.

When you double down on failure everybody knows it's a choice. America why would you choose stupid twice? I know I didn't either time so I'm looking around the room wondering who these people are while looking them dead in the face. Isn't it time we stopped cutting off our noses to spite our faces?

The Hollywood Palladium played Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” as the walk-out music at last night’s Courtney Barnett / Built To Spill show. As soon as it started, nearly every face I saw, lit up and sung along. It was one of those small but beautiful moments of humanity that I cling to these days.

Sailors, Airmen, Marines, soldiers etc are willing to fight and deploy… but when there is no end state, victory, or explaination, it becomes a morale crusher. Trump never bothered preparing Americans for this war…he gave the SOTU couple days prior and no mention. Same with Military. And it shows

To prove strangers can steal votes, O'Keefe put on a costume, faked an accent, and handed poll workers the name of a real registered voter who found out from the video. Nobody in the crew cast a ballot. Falsely signing that oath in Minnesota carries a five-year penalty.

. The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them. They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive. In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role. .

Oh, honey . . . Dolly Parton disliked everything you are. You are a selfish, venal fool who mocks those with misfortunes, lies, and takes food and medicine away from children. She was a generous, incorruptible sage who comforted those with misfortunes, spoke the truth, and gave to children.

When you replace Kristi Noem, a camera-hungry provocateur, with Markwayne Mullin, who'd be happier running his old plumbing company in Oklahoma, a lot of the headlines recede into the background. Doesn't mean the bad stuff isn't still happening. Just attracts less notice.
