Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

This. A million times this. Trump needs to be reined in and Republicans will never do it. Never. Vote Jackson. Vote blue across the board.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social accurately assessed Vance back when he ran for the Senate- basically, he’s just an asshole.

He is possibly the most proficient judicial cherry picker in US history. No matter the case, he’ll find some text that supports the position he favors, even if it contradicts what he’s said on other cases, and then condescendingly explain that the rest of us just don’t understand

It takes very little reading of history (military or general) to learn that most wars are won or lost based on competence, planning, and logistics. All three of those are lacking in the current pentagon leadership

Are we really to be surprised that AI agents are breaking rules and ostensibly committing crimes? They are trained on (largely misappropriated) collections of human output. Beyond the training by theft, have you met humanity? AI models are just reproducing humanity’s foibles with more efficiency

The only conceivable manner in which this would be okay is if they were replacing the loans with grants. We need musicians and historians and social workers more than ever. Fuck these fucking fucks.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

Yes. Sadly the parallel that I can provide is the impression left by the tourists that visit the destination in which I reside. I steadfastly believe that the majority of them are decent and courteous people. Sadly, however, it is the crude and obnoxious subset that drives my overall impression.
