Run, Chris, Run!

At least Carlin isn’t alive to see this.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

My instant column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

Sadly, this is about the next election. He’s laying the groundwork to declare his election “emergency” to change rules and argue to courts they can’t question his national security judgment in war time. And if the Court does, he’s preparing to say that’s beyond their constitutional powers.

Could be worse. Ran 15 miles outside in NE Iowa ❤️ this morning and had to avoid a rabid skunk!!

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."

To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

I’m sorry that antisemitism and scapegoating seeps into so many aspects of our lives. It’s seriously dangerous. Thank you for sharing this example with the rest of us.

Truly one of the most enraging, weak-kneed things that the D.C. Circuit has done over the past 13 months.

GORSUCH: “.. permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man. That is no recipe for a republic.” 👀

since I am not done Alysa Liu-posting, here she is making heart hands at the trans flag because she rules

This guy gets it.

A thing that is sticking with me is that last week the president accused Supreme Court members of being under foreign influence.

When asked for evidence he gave none.

I know we say all the time “this would have been a big deal 15 years ago” but like still, sit and think about this.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

Messaging lesson here:
DO say - "yet again, MAGA wants to keep people from voting to control our elections to seize power"
DON'T say - "see!!! they're the ones doing voter fraud!"
Bringing up "fraud" merely feeds desire for anti-voter laws.

Very excited for @daniwelch.bsky.social, a union sibling who’ll be a progressive champion in Congress. She’s challenging @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, one of the worst elected Democrats, whose constituents are so unhappy with him he was recently forced to send out an apology email for voting to fund ICE.

“There is a reason why the administration has cracked down on the arts and humanities alongside its brutal assault on migrants. It knows that art is dangerous, that knowledge leads to asking questions, and that those questions don't always lead where they want you to go.”

Does Legal Immigration Still Exist? Refugees and visa holders aren’t gang members or drug runners—but they are the easiest to locate and lock up.

I know there is a lot, but this really does break a part of me. It is so lawless on so many levels — and each individual boat strike is a choice.

Tennessee could lock up foster youth in jail-like facilities under new bill Research shows it's best practice to house foster kids with families, but a bill would allow foster kids to be placed in the most secure juvenile facilities.

Foster care children in Tennessee could be placed in the most secure facilities — with barbed wire and cells that lock — under a newly proposed bill that is alarming advocates. My latest:
