A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy. And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself. It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

Trump and Elon Musk gutted the IRS so it couldn't audit and investigate wealthy tax cheats. In the process, it kneecapped IRS customer service, and now everyday taxpayers—the ones who aren't cheating—are deal with the infuriating fallout, as my colleague @smencimer.bsky.social reports.

The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

A key part of Lindsey Graham's legacy: when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...
"Mr. Raffensperger later said that Mr. Graham had suggested rejecting all mail-in votes from counties with high rates of questionable signatures. Mr. Graham, who at the time was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said that he was acting in his official capacity as a senator."

Do certain Democrats know they don’t have to say anything at all about Lindsey Graham dying? If you just put out a slobbering statement or video, please don’t waste my time in 2028. You can bet your ass Lindsey Graham wouldn’t be making any videos about how great it was to work with Cory Booker.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.
