Every single one of these fuckwit MAGA pussies in elected office supporting RFK Jr. should be required to sign a legal document stating that they won't be vaccinating themselves or any of their own children.

FUNDSTRAT tonight:

A lot of people you know and respect are about to turn into the version of themselves they simply weren't allowed to be previously.

Not to be conspiratorially-minded, but does this strike you as the type of thing a guy who anticipates free and fair elections in 4 years that could result in the opposition taking back control would say?

Hegseth basically just called the Navy a bunch of pussies, which (as an Army vet) I don't necessarily disagree with, but they'd still wipe the floor with the Russian Navy and he's a fucking idiot for suggesting otherwise.

Was really meh about this this morning. I think it's because the tone of the trailer and tone of the movie were incongruous. The movie is alleged to be darker, scarier - almost horror-esque. The trailer makes it seem like an adventure film.

The mutant design is pretty terrifying though.

Made this Caitlin Clark video before Iowa's tournament run last year. Seems like a good time to pull it back out. Go Hawks. Go Fever. Go Caitlin.

What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

For anyone interested, we've used this afternoon to put together a step by step of how we handle online trolls.

Step 1 is offering them $1,000. Seriously. www.raygunsite.com/blogs/news/h...

Creating these backlash rulings is the point. Trump and his supporters want to create situations where public servants have to decide between judicial rulings and personal loyalty to him. He wants the Justice Department to do his bidding regardless of what the courts say.

Here's the deal with autocracy: the law has as much power as the masses give it. If the officials working for enforcement agencies decide that they're going to enforce illegitimate orders, it doesn't matter what the Founders believed.
