Trumpists want to provoke confrontation as a pretextual basis for suppression of dissent/opposition & for election interference. He already tried one putsch & got away with it. Now he has immunity, a masked domestic security force & a handpicked military leadership. Beware & be brave & be smart.

Eric Schmitt was profiled by Axios this morning in an article about how he is JD Vance's likely VP pick in '28. "We hear the VP views Schmitt, 51, as trustworthy, intelligent, articulate and a deft political operator." Hours later, 0 for 4!

You may have noticed my fixation on the largest intentional uninsuring of Americans in history. The press may largely ignore how GOP policies will lead to 15 million people losing their health insurance in less than a decade. But I can’t because it’s still the way Trump is most likely to kill you.

A hideous, fascist, anti-American ritual at any time, but especially ominous & sickening on the eve of 25th anniversary of 9/11. This is who & what the Republican Party now is & stands for, from its highest elected officials down to our family, friends & neighbors who enable & support it. Resist!

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Beshear shouldn't say he's going to fight it in court - he should just do it and let the KY GOP try fighting it in court. The KY Supreme Court recently ruled that other attempts by the GOP legislature to take power away from a Dem Governor were unconstitutional, so I don't like their chances.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.
