This just means every mention of him has been destroyed!

You need to go!!!

If Chuck Schumer was the coach of an NFL team and got these kinds of results he wound have been fired and thrown out on his ass a long time ago.

Senators are cowards!

'It's coming for you': Analyst reveals 'terrible news for red America' Tuesday night's elections across several states delivered overwhelmingly positive news for Democrats. But one columnist is also directly warning MAGA Republicans that the lopsided victories for divers...

And the GOP knows it, which is why they and Trump are planning to rig the elections in 2026 and 2028.

Remember who just bought the Dominion voting machines company.

Vance spokesperson: “Gavin Newsom wants people to think this exercise is dangerous.”

Vance spokesperson: No comment.

So sad to hear this…

He’s so weak!!!

A NY Times article says AI has never been better--and asks can it improve?

My response as a comment there:

Trump Organization Bringing Foreign Workers Into U.S. For Mar-a-Lago, Golf Clubs, Winery Since 2008, Trump’s company has filed to bring nearly 1,900 foreign workers into the U.S.—including 31 in 2025, so far—as the president’s policies target many of these workers.

“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.”

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Judge Breyer summarizing the DOJ:

“If the president says that there’s a rebellion, then there is a rebellion.”

"How is that different from what a monarch is?"

"We live in *response* to a monarchy."

First, she is lying. It is a lie. No other word for it.

Second, this is an assault not just on Padilla as a person, but on the Legislative Branch of government by the Executive Branch.

Under the framework our Founders developed, he outranks her yet is treated like this.

Let that sink in.

Everything is escalation now. Taking a step back is considered weakness. Consider that when thinking through strategy.

Trump's Big Bill Would Let Him Expand His L.A. Immigration Crackdown 'Everywhere' The “Big Beautiful Bill” would give $75 billion to ICE, and allow Trump to carry out militarized immigration raids in “d

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention? 

It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country.

A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

This is the most straightforward thing they've said so far. They're using the military to "liberate" Los Angeles from its mayor and governor.

Planned PBS, NPR cuts would overwhelmingly hit outlets in states Trump won, report finds About 60% of the hundreds of radio and TV stations that could soon suffer funding cuts are in Trump-won states, a new congressional report says.

States and communities Trump won in 2024 will be especially hard hit by looming cuts to public media

News deserts will be starved

Hegseth won’t commit to obeying courts on Marines in Los Angeles The Defense secretary declined to say whether the Pentagon would comply with any judicial order blocking Trump’s domestic troop deployment.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to say whether he would follow the courts if they ruled against President Donald Trump’s deployment of active-duty Marines to Los Angeles.”

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Never underestimate how much Republican messaging relies on their followers being:

A) Scared of large cities
B) Unfamiliar with large cities
C) Unable to conceive of how large a city like LA (or Seattle or Portland or Minneapolis) is
D) Too stupid and incurious to read maps

Works every time.

A hand holding a toy plastic trash can in front of a toddler playing on the sidewalk

in my city which is apparently in a state of extended military occupation due to extreme and widespread unrest a really kind sanitation worker saw me sitting out front with my kids and gave them free toy trash cans and we talked about recycling

Hopefully she can die soon!

Well, we know the current guy is certainly not capable!

I try not to make superficial judgments about people, but I can't help but imagine this individual going to a hairdresser and just asking for the most evil-looking haircut they know how to give.

Harvey is forever in my top 10!!!

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

What Are Trump’s Dumbass Tariffs REALLY About? Let Sen. Chris Murphy Learn Ya! Spoiler, they're about destroying democracy. NOT about the economy.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Even when I occasionally block out all political posts (self care) I check in with you and Dr. Heather just to stay informed!
