Moderately curious, moderately intelligent, dog lover, was at the Battle of Trafalgar. The team fared well there; me not so much.

Normalization is treating the president stealing from taxpayers to buy campaign ads and offer bribes to voters like it's just another day. Normalization is reacting with "won't work" or "polls poorly," and not "resign immediately or you'll be removed, we exist because of a revolution against that."

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.

Well it’s been approximately two weeks since Trump signed the Lindsey Graham tariff bill, which all those Trump supporters were saying was going to allow him to hammer Russia. Any sign of the new 100% tariffs on China and India—the largest purchasers of Russian oil?

I’ll never get over Trump’s betrayal of America and our 17 intelligence agencies when he sided with Putin at the 2018 Helsinki summit and Putin’s assertion that he didn’t interfere in the 2020 election.

What a shock--Trump sends Witkoff and Kushner to meet first with Putin and reach an understanding, and naturally the Ukrainians have to say no. The idea that the US could be an honest broker in this war is madness. It is a stalking horse for the Russian dictator.

Trump doesn't want to interfere with the money laundering and other corruption he's come to depend on. "The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to scale back scrutiny of the shadowy shell companies that criminals use to launder money and traffic drugs."

Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act. Trump vetoed it. Congress overrode his veto on a bipartisan vote. So Trump has decided to simply not enforce the law. I do not understand the role of Congress anymore. I guess they just make suggestions?

Senator Bill Cassidy says he voted to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General because it wasn’t a referendum on Trump and Trump’s next pick might be worse. Well Bill, it is a referendum on Trump. If Trump won’t choose a better option than Blanche, then Congress needs to remove Trump. The GOP sucks.
