A very good review of the timeline and characters that have brought us to this moment. This one is worth keeping in the back pocket for reference. And the crazy details, like Mandy Gunasekara being the same woman who handed Sen James Inhofe that snowball all those years ago, make this a rich read.

My liberal peers are chasing down false rumors of low movie ticket sales and Oval Office sharts while the open wounds of DOGE continue to bleed silently in the background, friends give up on healthcare, and our global allies are abandoning us. Catch your snap! Participate in midterms.

I support composer Philip Glass in the removal of his symphony from the Kennedy Center lineup. Isolate fascism like cancer cells.

Welp, looks like Europe is staying the course on that whole "liberal democracies working together thing." I think we're getting the "bye Felicia." I can't blame them. Hopefully, we can prepare some flowers and chocolates and ask her back in a few years. Heck, even a booty call and see how it goes?

The Trump administration is simultaneously stopping action and research on climate while also claiming a heating planet makes the acquisition of Greenland a more pressing issue because new Arctic shipping lanes for Russia and China are opening in the melting ice. So is it a real threat or not?

If a heavy metal anthem is the soundtrack to storming the gates, then this plays alongside the assassin as she slinks up the tower stairwell on the way to depose the king. This is a jaw-dropping modern masterpiece and a scary-good performance. Play it like metal.

Hi Gavin. Is there a date and time announcement for the annual NASA/NOAA climate press conference? Looking forward to it.

This piece from the NYTimes is one of the most comprehensive edits of the insurrection at the US Capitol I’ve seen. It brings clarity and situational awareness to the unfolding event, placing isolated clips that are familiar to us into a wider context of time and place.

4/4 ... A fake elector scheme in multiple states, threatening pressure on Georgia officials to change a vote outcome, and a wide misinformation campaign combined into a conscious attempt to subvert American democracy. It was a high crime and deserves justice.

2/4 Before it is forgotten in revisionist history, I want to share this hour-and-a-half-long synopsis video of the January 6th hearings. It is damning in a deep and comprehensive way, especially considering the majority of witnesses giving testimony are dyed-in-the-wool conservatives.

1/4 On the anniversary of January 6th, and not long after prosecutor Jack Smith's December 2025 testimony that he and a grand jury believed Donald J. Trump could easily, beyond a reasonable doubt, be prosecuted for crimes around the 2020 election, I am reposting this:

Jack Smith Deposition

Jack Smith's testimony has been released. Cued up in his statement (9:35-10:30) Smith says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Beethoven's 9th is so powerful that it encompasses Christmas, liberal democracies, and global brotherhood all at the same time! I'm throwing this up on the TV and stereo.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

BREAKING: Here is the 60 Minutes story that was pulled by the new conservative director of CBS News, Bari Weiss. It was up in Canada for a brief time and got ripped there. It’s no longer on any official site.

Supreme Court Clears the Way for Republican-Friendly Texas Voting Maps

OK, so that's it now. 2026 is officially open season on unfair gerrymandering. Open the gates. Law of the jungle. My fellow Dems will now also increase unfairness in order to defend from the onslaught of GOP unfairness. It did not have to be this way. I'd rather it wasn't.

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.
