Newsom is soaking up all the empty space left by the rest of the invisible opposition party.

This is true.

It's the moment that they start talking about how IT'S ALIVE!!!! or this it has any sort of value in art of any sort or is going to cure cancer or drive me to the airport that I get... irked and perhaps a touch sarcastic and snarky that often ends in a blocking.

They just keep making sequels to the same movie!

Right, it was a pretty easy call since American politicians have been openly calling for it for years. Remember the McCain thing? Good lord…

Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as “an operational trigger” for “sleeper assets."

Cool cool

Totally and all so brave with other people’s lives…

I was just thinking about nuclear this morning. Like we just went over and kicked a beehive and idiots are like “wE nEeD moaR nUcLeaR!”

Wut?

I had a relative who started giving people ball point pens when her dementia got really bad, don't know what made me think of that just now

It is not our job as citizens to worry about what is politically possible. Our job is to push these intransigent “leaders” to at least TRY to do what is right.
Every single citizen needs to be yelling for impeachment at every opportunity. Make people ashamed to oppose it.

Every war I think “Yes, this has GOT to be the very last Oil War.” But there’s always another one…

They're going to kitchen-table the country right into tyranny...
Insane to even be mentioning something like this right now.

Easy, you keep bombing them until you’re out of office and then blame the other party for the way they eventually get out.

That's a pretty good rule. Not unlike my rule of "when a politician starts putting swear words in their social media posts to sound tough, they're selling you out."

👍

I understand why Putin wants to destroy America, and I can guess why Trump is helping him do it. But I'll never figure out why Congress is letting him get away with it.

The most convincing evidence that the White House does drugs is they really seemed to have believed they could just kill the Ayatollah and duck out.

Someone needs to draft an impeachment article and force a vote.

Spring forward... Fall back... whatever.

Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰

Just past midnight here, first day since February 28th without a single attack here

This is exactly correct.

Saying this for the first time ever: thank you, @schumer.senate.gov ! 💙

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

This, from @timothysnyder.bsky.social, basically took all the random thoughts in my head and pulled it together into one amazing piece. And he adds one I HADN’T thought about: the prospect of fascist-on-fascist violence.

Seriously go read this now:

Seeing more and more of these. They seem to be getting nervous...

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

There it is.

I'm sure it was a terrifying time to live, but it's like these billionaires crave their date with the chopper the way they're driving us toward that future.

Hopefully they're still watching when the guillotines come out...

Totally. For a country that calls itself "the home of the brave," I've never seen such a complete absense of heroes before.

Yeah, he's the worst. But a lot of her reputation is pretty overblown. Credit for eventually getting ACA done but a lot of her reputation for whipping comes from not bringing votes to the floor unless it was safe. Which means she wasn't really pushing members and was playing it too safe, IMO.
