Career disappointment could not be more deserved for Stefanik who sold her sole, gave up every principle to become a MAGA player. Karma, honey. Karma.

Today the Trump administration upped the ante by overtly treating federal judicial orders as optional. Once these thugs apply the same approach to the United States Supreme Court, expect the political shit to hit the fan. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Trump no longer needs MAGA voters, so he's gutting Medicaid and laying off veterans | Opinion
Once Trump won the election and did away with his legal issues, he abandoned the 'forgotten men and women' he so sincerely promised to champion.

If only our system included a body set up to do effective oversight of the executive branch. If only we had...a Congress. Wait, you say we HAVE a Congress?! We have a Congress In Name Only. This is primarily due to Republicans putting party over democracy. But Democrats could say and do more.

These lines in Sassoon's letter to the U.S. Attorney General could provide a solid basis for NY Governor Kathy Hochul to remove Mayor Adams from office.

Still sorta wild to me that the John Thunes etc of the Senate and House are cool with this, happy to rise to enormous power only to be shunted into "advisory body" status by a carnival barker and an unelected bigot, content to have "passively ushered in a fascist autocracy" as their legacy

Murkowski says call volume to the Senate is now 40x higher than normal:
A facebook post from Lisa Murkowski: I want to thank Alaskans who have been reaching out to my offices in D.C. and across Alaska. The U.S. Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute we usually receive, which has disrupted our call systems. Thank you for your patience as my staff works to review your messages and share them with me. We’re all working to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

This is of course false. Most cancer research has never come from philanthropy. The US gov funds most cancer research. But this is where the GOPs public faces only being billionaires comes in handy. Leading billionaire wants to fund tax cuts by shutting off funding for childhood cancer research.

Yes, yes, and yes. It feels like they are erasing my entire being, one piece at a time: science, philosophy, empathy, compassion, altruism, idealism, aspiration, inspiration, dreams and hopes, nature conservation,..... What's left to look at is naked materialism and shameless pillage.

Based on his social media profile, the man who allegedly murdered the United Healthcare CEO is an Ivy leaguer and fan of Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Peter Thiel and other right-leaning personalties. He also attended a $40,000 per year prep school. Guessing he could afford insurance…

Trump did his usual lying on Meet the Press. He said he “saved” Obamacare when in fact he tried to kill it. He lied about the economy, the stock market and crime statistics. There were so many lies that the host could barely keep up.
