Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

This, again, is nauseating. (Used that term yesterday about firing of GEN CQ Brown, Chmn JCS) @brian-goldstone.bsky.social 's forthcoming book is magnificent. I did a blurb likening it to J Anthony Lukas's 'Common Ground.' And it is set *in Atlanta.* Buy and read the book. Resist the know-nothings

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close. These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

This is exactly what we want to see from Senate Democrats. Russell Vought is the mastermind of Trump’s sweeping (and illegal) spending freeze, and his nomination should be withdrawn. Democrats are starting to fight back, and we need to encourage them to keep going: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Senate Budget Committee on Twitter: “🚨 Budget Committee Democrats are boycotting today's committee vote on Russell Vought's nomination to OMB. We will not vote for someone so clearly unfit for office.”

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION. 12 people. $2 trillion. The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Another day another reminder that Donald Trump is ineligible to be President of the United States due to his actions on January 6th, 2021 and subsequent findings from Congress and courts that his actions (and inaction) amounted to insurrection. He doesn’t need to be convicted.

“It is said that these leaders ought not to be condemned unheard, that they should not even be disqualified for official position until their guilt is established in a court of justice. If it were proposed to take from them life, liberty, or property, I would be unwilling to do so except according to the law of the land. But when it is only proposed to fix a qualification for office and deny them future distinctions, which would rather make their treason honorable than odious, I do not hesitate to act.” A quote from Senator Henderson of Missouri during the June 8, 1866 debates over the 14th Amendment

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

I get why journalists are reticent to try to port a following to a new platform—I was, and I still post my work everywhere—but if your career is predicated on people clicking your links and engaging with your work, this site is the only one not actively working against that.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Keep this in mind for the road ahead:

Garry Kasparov tweet:
“The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them.
It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.”

Fluoride in water is good. It helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. The American Dental Association unreservedly endorses the fluoridation of community water supplies as safe, effective and necessary in preventing tooth decay.
