Josh Marshall is absolutely right about this as a matter of constitutional restoration BUT ALSO

You can't do ANY of the "kitchen table" agenda EITHER without abolishing the power of the six corrupt GOP justices. They'll kill any good Dem policy (eg student loan forgiveness) just to watch it die.

Snow outside today, but I found this adorable vid of my son's dog playing with a broody hen.

YouTube video by Talking Feds with Harry Litman Trump's Fired Lawyers WON’T LEAVE the Building!

The Clown's henchmen won't leave after being fired. This type of thing has been done in several GOP run states after voters fired elected officials who then refused to leave.

Law and order - suuuuure.

The 22-day gap in the pipe bomber affidavit: the government's desperate attempts to cover up that he's MAGA. If you missed it live yesterday, you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/_uiK9fz...

if you're going to have these rat bastards on the air, you have to have follow up questions ready. tom cotton is the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, "i dunno, haven't asked" is, if true, a deliberate dereliction of his duties both as a senator and in his current role as a senator.

it is quite literally cotton's job to ask questions about the pardon of a convicted cartel trafficker and former president of a foreign nation currently serving a sentence in an american prison, and it is the job of reporters and anchors to point that out and ask him about it.

COVID provided a lot of real-time evidence of which people would sacrifice for the greater good, innovate, keep up morale and emotionally endure devastating loss...and which would sell out their grandma if it meant they could go back to Applebee's.

There's also just the fact that they don't feel like they won because they're psychopaths completely divorced from reality. People are still getting abortions, the TV shows still have people of color, gay people haven't disappeared.

I'm not quite sure where to start

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

FUCK ICE

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).

Just a reminder DOGE stole just about every government database. Perhaps we’re starting to see the fruits of their theft

In short, she didn’t have funds to recount and the party didn’t have her back. They protected the check-writing donors in the Epstein files which is why the whistleblowers came forward in July.
Pelosi said the files were a “distraction” and my phone started ringing.

The GOP economic platform:

Struggling to pay for food? Relax.

Can’t make next month’s rent? Relax.

Going without health insurance because it’s too expensive? Relax.

Don't worry, Republicans have the solution to your economic problems: just relax!

Democrats will force a Senate vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act funds The legislation is all but guaranteed to fail next week, due to widespread Republican opposition, and become a key issue in the 2026 elections as insurance premiums rise.

NEW: Democrats will force a Senate vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act funds

Per Schumer, every Dem will vote YES.

It needs 60. Won't happen. Most Republicans want these Covid-era funds gone.

It'll becomes a 2026 issue when premiums soar.
