Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

Our system has not completely collapsed but we are living through an attempted fascist takeover of the United States. If you’re not on the target list today, you will be tomorrow. Nobody gets out of this undamaged. The only path forward to save our democracy is accountability and overhaul.

For the 250th Independence Day of these United States, I’d like to tell you that I have an ID for a specific member of Patriot Front (who are certainly out marching for the holiday). What I DO have is this photo, w/unmasked New England members, from late last year; please reach out if you know more!
A photo of three white men, alleged to be members of Patriot Front, taken during the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston Common on September 18th, 2025. To the left is an older man with tanned skin, a shaved head, and a moustache. He wears blue jeans, sneakers, a green t-shirt, and a black windbreaker. A pair of shades hangs from his shirt collar. In the center is longtime Patriot Front member Jake Hayden, carrying a flagpole bearing the Betsy Ross flag over one shoulder. He carries on a conversation on his phone. He wears a black t-shirt with an unknown design in white on the left breast, khaki cargo shorts, and workboots. On the right is a man of slender build, wearing a baseball cap, a black hoodie, tan cargo shorts, Everlast-branded black ankle socks, and sneakers.

And I don’t just mean an opposition that loses elections. I mean an opposition that loses even when it wins elections—that cedes ground narratively and on policy; that is so cowed, agenda items from presidents decades ago are now treated as radical ideas; that polices its own side to thwart change.

It's very frustrating living in a country where the Republicans are given a free pass by the courts and by the media to do whatever deranged dangerous bugfuck batshit they want, but when Democrats make any change at all, the media hamstrings them and then the courts brain them with a cinder block.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.
