For no particular reason, thinking today of the great journalist I.F. Stone and his saying, "All governments are run by liars, and nothing they say should be believed."

As a native of San Francisco, apparently I talk just like someone from Philly or NYC. Go figure. mydialact.us

Someone with a better grasp of politics correct me if I'm wrong. In 2006, facing similarly grim polls, George W. Bush busied himself raising money for GOP candidates but stayed away from the spotlight. Was Dubya really smarter than Trump?

Congressional leaders get beaten up on this site - unnecessarily in my view - for failing to represent party members. Their real job is the care and feeding of floor representatives -- congos and senators. Ordinary voters don't count. /1

Because of the SCOTUS majority's allegiance to originalism, perhaps Congress should make bleeding the primary form of health care for the court.

I'm not saying that Ken Paxton is a New World Screw Worm. But has anyone ever seen Ken Paxton and a New World Screw Worm together? Just asking questions.

Question for the lawyers: How can DOJ legally tap its settlement fund for the $1.8 billion "settlement fund" when the underlying lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice and the judge wrote that there was no mention of a settlement on the record?

Americans live in fear of each other. Armed, masked federal agents roam the streets of a major city, killing citizens and spraying tear gas at families. Question: Who really won the War on Terror?

Blow Greg Abbott's mind. Demand funding for Wicca covens in every Texas high school.

Were techbros like Sam Altman required to take a history class in college? Did it cover the French Revolution?

Whenever I think of Rep. Andy Ogles, and I do so as rarely as possible, I am comforted by the thought that America has many nutcases and wackadoodles, and they deserve representation too.

The Sierra Club got there first a half-century ago in its campaign against dams in the Grand Canyon: "Should we also flood the Sistine Chapel so tourists can get nearer the ceiling?" Except I think the DOGE idiots really mean it.

Schumer is the Democratic Senate leader for two reasons: He raises lots of money from Wall Street and he takes great care of the tender egos of Democratic senators. He is not "our" leader. He is the Democratic senators' leader. They. Do. Not. Want. To. Fight.

If you've ever wondered what the "again" in MAGA refers to, the answer is the 1950s. Who needs birth control, amirite?

Unlike DOGE, the IG's follow the law. They don't abruptly and illegally halt congressional appropriations or lawlessly shut down entire agencies. So they had to be fired.

For Bondi and Bove, this is a win. They are driving out federal prosecutors who believe they work for the US instead of Donald Trump. They will be replaced by loyalists. If a Dem is ever elected president, the rot at DOJ will be deep.

Poor Bill Clinton. I guess Clinton v. Jones only applies to Democratic presidents.

Every time a J6er commits a crime, Dems in Congress should talk about it. Every day in every appearance. Make it Trump's Willie Horton.

There are 1500 potential Willie Hortons on the streets. Donald Trump and the Republicans own every one of them.

The Dems in Congress can't win votes, at least not often. But they can harass, they can stall, they can hold the GOP accountable. They can raise questions about nominees like Hegseth, as Warren just did. That's the job of an opposition party - to make the majority's life miserable.

My former congressmember, @katieporteroc.bsky.social, won a swing district three times. She wasn't a socialist, but she was a loud and proud progressive.
