October 24, 2025 Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has canceled House business again next week, meaning that over the last 17 weeks, the House of Representatives will have worked on Capitol Hill for just 20 days.

Trump is totally bonkers insane! Only those like him like him! HERE'S the truth!

What Of America Do You Hold Dear? A Saturday Prompt

What I hold dear, @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, is our intention to make a more perfect union...but we're doing a poor job of it, and now we're backsliding because of so-called conservatives.

Talking With Erica Chenoweth Civil resistance: Does it work, and when?

Interesting conversation between @paulkrugman and Erica Chenoweth. We aren't where many anti-authoritarian pushbacks have been historically. We're a different kind of country, where our reality has always come up short of our more perfect union goal.

Just to be clear, while South Africa's oppressive apartheid system lasted more than 4 decades, America's oppression is older than the republic, starting with the first Blacks brought to our shores in 1619. And it's NOT OVER, as #WhiteSupremacists fight on!

Good point! If Trump can tear down an historic part of the White House, home to the executive branch of government, without consulting anyone else, WHERE is the limit to his power? It SHOULD be in Congress and the courts, but the @GOP sits on its thumbs.
