Humankind is depraved

I dunno... doesn't seem to me to be a Fed.. just another wanker with access to cosplay costumes.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

1/ This morning I went on @kqedforum.bsky.social to discuss this piece and Lt. Gov @eleniforca.bsky.social called it. Which is great! Politicians should engage with journalists and the public debating things, including how CA can push back on Trump. But...

YouTube video by Mother Jones A 90-Second crash course in Trump’s betrayal of American soy farmers

Need help understanding—or explaining—how Trump is destroying the US soybean market through tariffs and they using tariff funds to helping to bailout the MAGAlike Argentine president who's selling to China instead of US? Here you go: youtube.com/shorts/8Gm60...

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

"Soft secession, powered by the presidential ambitions of multiple blue-state governors, could, should it come to that, be the proving ground of a new confederacy.

Hopefully the threat of CalExit or a new Union will be enough.”

The latest from @clarajeffery.bsky.social:

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I’m listening to a report on MSNBC. What’s happening is this country is so wrong. They just said that Kristie Noem said she gets off on watching the ICE raids 🤬 and apparently Miller’s wife said something similar. These people are disgusting

What kind of horrific religion wants to stone gay people to death while at the same time tries to recruit people to their side? They try to convince that if you join them, then you get to spend eternity with them. NO WAY. Their fairy tales only work on the weak and stupid. #CINO

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

While the National Guard was called up during some of the Vietnam riots, the Insurrection Act was not invoked. During my lifetime, January 6th, 2021 is the only time I believe the Insurrection Act should have been used.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”
