So who woulda thought that in 2026 the US government would prove themselves to be no better than a religious, extremist, terrorist group.

I endorse this sentiment but for one minor exception. I reserve the right to be mean to Donald should I ever have the misfortune to meet him.

The Trump regime's new AI assistant confirmed Donald is a convicted felon, Biden won the 2020 election, and Trump is in the Epstein files before it stopped answering political questions.

4 years, 216 days ago Russia attacked Ukraine. Yes, it’s been that long. Thousands of innocent Ukrainians slaughtered. Long live Ukraine and may Putin and his minions rot in hell.

The system is working perfectly fine for the MAGA faithful who still want to eat their cheap burgers while they watch FOX and complain how Biden ruined the lives of cattle farmers.

I had a coffee-out-my-nose moment right at the end of that video. What a classic line. “Vote for James Talarico, he won’t steal your pen”.. It would also look good on a bumper sticker!

One of the player’s WNBA rivals said the Fever guard is treated differently from her Black peers. There’s plenty of evidence to back that statement up

I can’t put my finger on it but Trump occasionally reminds me of Herman Göring.

If you discard the cost of the war against Iran and the cost of Trump’s golf trips, then the US debt isn’t so bad.

Holy hell! I never thought I’d see a State Supreme Court write this of the Robert’s Court - “A Constitution interpreted this way is not colorblind. It is whatever the Court needs it to be. A way to advance its partisan project. The damage to democracy extends beyond the Voting Rights Act.”

For those in a hurry and can’t read the whole thing but love to see the Robert’s court getting schooled, the best bits start from page 73. Goes well with a nice pinot noir and some aged Gouda. You could read the whole thing but you may have finished the bottle by page 50…

Holy cow. The Supreme Court of Hawai'i, in a *majority opinion*, absolutely excoriates SCOTUS. To paraphrase a bit, they say the "hubristic originalists" "see only white." This, from a state supreme court, is nothing less than an "f you" to Roberts et al. law.justia.com/cases/hawaii...
