He just wants to destroy Obamacare, scorched earth style. Any other alternative that sounds like a solution, or the concept of a solution, is just lies.

He just wants to destroy Obamacare. There is no other game plan. Everything else is just lies.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

The flood wasn’t political. Why the county was so unprepared and people died… that was entirely political.

I love these maniacs

Spoof of a NYT headline: “Zohran Mamdani Used the 10 Items Or Leas Aisle. We Counted 11.”

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has always been a nonpartisan agency focused on serving the public, until now.

A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled one day before America's Independence Day.

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

A bad President, for instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government; I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked. He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of securing allegiance to the government.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

The entire point.
