Sheldon Whitehouse and Martin Heinrich signed onto a bill that would gravely weaken the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. This is a craven giveaway to timber companies, mining interests, ranchers, and sundry other exploiters of our natural resources. Tell them "no."

Everyone involved in these actions that amount to a brutal deprivation of basic human rights needs to go to prison. That includes the ICE agents, the government lawyers, and the immigration judge.

I don't drink iced coffee, but why would anyone care whether someone at a job interview is drinking iced coffee? How is that any different from drinking hot coffee? Or water?

I’m surprised that people are paying that much attention to polls. They are unreliable and, in any case, a tool to manipulate voters.

I think what some people miss is that every important institution in the U.S. is corrupted, compromised, or broken. Our politics are a sick joke. We effectively have no real opposition party and we have a prior-dictator. Our society is failing. Fast.

And I don't hear Democrats saying that ICE must be abolished. Or even clearly calling for significant reform. Nor do I detect Democratic commitments to address corruption, try to stop the stupid war against Iran, work to defend U.S. alliances, or reverse the anti-public health moves of the regime.

I prioritize the environment when I choose the candidate for whom to vote. And I'm hearing almost nothing from Democrats about what they'll do to repair the catastrophic Trump public lands decisions and his regime's gutting of the Clean Air Act.

Maybe the American people are beginning to realize that the Supreme Court is not a court, as @espinsegall.bsky.social has long maintained, but is instead a fundamentally political institution. And, under John Roberts' leadership as chief justice, it has become an overtly partisan agent of the GOP.
