So, he’s trying to improve their social capital? These people do not understand how despised they are now by a majority of the citizenry. They’re so used to living in Foxland, where everyone congratulates everyone else for being cruel and felonious.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

If you’re having trouble keeping track of all the criminality and fascist violence that has occurred over the last 9 months, this is a superb recap.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

Claims that Trump is trying to roll the US back to the 1950s, or even to the Gilded Age, are--as usual--thinking way too small. Trump is trying to roll back governance to a PRE MAGNA CARTA world--centuries before the US existed--in which there's an absolute monarch & he answers to no one.

In this week’s episode of Serious Trouble I described Greg Gutfeld as what would happen if Gollum had a meth habit and a cable show. I want to let people know that I have heard, and take to heart, and will consider moving forward, their criticism that this characterization was unjustified to Gollum.

For those playing fascism bingo, you can now dot the “hostile expansionism,” square. If you already had: - hyper-nationalist nativism - “return to a former (apocryphal) greatness” rhetoric - minority scapegoating - rejection of rule of law & democracy - institutionalized corruption You … lost.

The Dept. of Ed. has one overarching mission: to protect and ensure equal access to secular education. Once it's gone, and with #SCOTUS on board to rubber-stamp everything from religious curriculums to resegregation, red states will begin turning public schools into brainwashing centers.

Did you ever notice how moving to "the middle" usually means a Democrat must embrace Republican positions? That's because there is no actual "center" in politics. It's a false concept that somehow only tilts politics to the right. Republicans never move an inch, except further toward extremes.
