Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

When they indict Cassidy Hutchinson it will be a great opportunity for her and her legal team to find a way to put in the public record all the powerful 50-, 60-, and 70-year-old Republican members of Congress who secretly propositioned her sexually when she was college-age (20) Way to go Trump

This passage, from Luke O’Neil’s amazing book “We Had It Coming,” took my breath away with its immediacy and humanity, the palpable mission of connecting the artist to the reader. I had to capture it then and there (it would have been better to write it down, but I was not in a place to do so):

With regard to the overt and jaw-dropping use of public money to manufacture and broadcast Trump politicals ads, I'm just spitballing here, but maybe, perhaps, if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't give the president blanket immunity from prosecution for crimes he wouldn't feel so comfortable criming.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

By law, members of Congress must be present in the Capitol to take their oath of office, correct? And the oath must be administered by the Speaker of the House? What happens if Trump uses the national guard already deployed in DC to deny newly-elected members access to the Capitol?

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
