Democracy is slipping away. Nazis are in charge. Abortion has been rolled back. It’s pay-to-play in DC. An endless war. But by all means, let’s worry about who Travis and Taylor are friends with.

The treasury just ended plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill but they’re currently printing Trump’s face on a $1 gold coin while he’s still alive. All racist fascists go to Hell.

Sometimes I’ll be chatting with friends and a sentence I’d never thought I’d say comes out. Today’s is: “The nominee for Attorney General was just referred to the bar for disciplinary consideration, but you don’t actually need a law license to be the Attorney General.”

Anyone else notice that the talking heads on MSNOW, and many other outlets, have adopted an annoying habit of declaring something and then saying "right???!!" after it? Rachel did it three times in a row and I turned it. Chris Hayes does it often too. Drives me nuts. It's the new "um."

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.

As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.

The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

Taken as a whole, Trump's 14-point "deal" represents the most astounding admission of defeat in US history. Iran gets everything it wants, including hundreds of billions of dollars, internationally-recognized control over the Strait, and removal of US forces. Iran gives up nothing.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." "I love the inflation." Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?
