And for the guests' sipping pleasure, I'll volunteer to stock the green rooms with plastic liter bottles of gin from the liquor store (for Lindsey) and bags of human blood from the Red Cross (for Stephen).
Our democracy deserves a cleanup.
My DISCLOSE Act is the solution.
Robert Duvall has passed away at the age of 95. Think of your favorite films of the last six decades, and you'll likely find his name in the credits. While he is gone, he remains through that iconic work. Rest in Peace.
you need to just put up an "is it fascism yet?" website.
it's a single page that says "no".
when the URL gives a 404, that's when we worry
Those cuts to science, culture, medicine? They aren't just about research, they are about power.

"The primary purpose of this occupation is the selective use of govt power to establish federal dominance over blue states or cities Trump dislikes. That's it. He thinks MN is the enemy, and so he unleashed an armed and masked paramilitary upon its people." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...
1/ICE, contrary to longstanding 4th Amendment jurisprudence, now says it can enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant; an administrative warrant suffices. That's a form signed by a gov't employee who can be fired if they displease the president. It’s not difficult to see the problem here.
It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

the single best decision I’ve made about how I use this website is that I do not argue in my replies
I ignore it or I block people, nothing good ever comes of it

4 years cancer-free today! Proof that sarcasm is a treatment plan. For those of you still in the fight, stay strong, laugh harder. 🙏😂
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

Also this is very bad
Corruption is bad, and members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks.
Rhode Island lost a legend. Judge Frank Caprio has passed away. He and his court officer Ziggy Quinn turned the tedium of traffic court into a beloved and endearing human spectacle. He did it his way, and we all got to enjoy it.
A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

No one should ever have to wonder if their senator or representative is making choices in Congress just to benefit their own wallet.
There's a clear solution: ban Congressional stock trading.
Political Cartoon. Four frogs wearing red hats are pictured sitting in a boiling pot of water. Three of the frogs look pleased, saying “Woo hoo!” “This is what we wanted him to do!” and “Yeah, this is a good thing!” The last frog says nothing and looks nervously off to the side.
It doesn’t bother me that Trump went to the Alligator prison.
What I object to is that he was allowed to leave.
