Joined Twitter in 2008 to plan a BBQ. Who knew it'd turn into a global conspiracy to undermine democracy? Oops. Hopeful this place will be better...

To be clear, the Republicans who policed all of our speech when Charlie Kirk was killed, & who jump on anyone who doesn’t mourn their heroes correctly, have just opened the door for every liberal & leftist in America to post ‘Good, I’m glad he’s dead” when Trump eventually dies.

For better and worse, Mueller left Congress (and the DOJ) with investigations into at least three quid pro quos between Team Trump and the Russians that Congress did basically nothing with. One of those quid pro quos is currently being played out as Trump tries to hand Putin a hunk of Ukraine.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I was once on an a train from to Budapest. In the middle of the night, officious men with epaulets were banging on doors demanding papers. As we pulled out of the station, I heard a passenger dragged onto the platform crying. I shortsightedly said, "I'm glad we don't live in a country like this."

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Yes, it’s about the tariffs. More importantly, Trump is violating existing law by claiming a decades-long problem (his words) a national emergency that gives him the power to enact tariffs despite the law not saying he can. He is owed NO time to violate laws. Johnson and the GOP are fully complicit.
