Senate Confirms ‘Sharpiegate’ Meteorologist to Lead NOAA

NOAA can sell off all it's radar and ask Trump where he wants the tropical cyclones to go.

I think I had a post a while ago that was like “I’ll take Bill Kristol if I must but I’ll be damned if I’ll take Frum”

anyway,

Gender-affirmed enough.

I started invoking Archbishop Romero early in this administration and I fear that may unfortunately prove prescient the way things are developing.

Damn, that is so 30 years ago.

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

Draw on your own experience:

Is there any situation you've ever been part of, with you or anyone else in the hot seat, in which a person who does NOT have something to hide, reacts the way Bondi does?

I've been on trial juries that concluded "we can't trust that witness," after evasions like this

Thanks for clarifying; given the state of things I found my self going to something like hope is something you can hang yourself with.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.'

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

There is no budget "deal" to be made

but I trust Chuck E. to make it

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

How do you find a compromise budget that reflects the priorities of 535 members of the House and Senate when Trump will just withhold any money he doesn't want to spend? A representative democracy cannot function as Trump has broken the US system this year. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

TIME OUT !!! A history-erasing far right? But not the president who wants the Smithsonian edited, esp. the Museum of African American History?

Can they keep the old one for the month of December? And hand down decisions in stockings?

Also, like, unironically? The three Dem governors would be right if crime in their states were higher.*

Trump’s approach to crime, even if it were meant sincerely (which it is not), is just a textbook list of how to handle the issue in the worst mid- to long-term way possible.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Everything for him : minemineminemine; if you remember Daffy in the cartoon where he and Bugs find Ali Baba's cave.

"Transparency and faith in the rule of law" are at issue here, Ellis says, noting that having her name on opinions keeps her "from going off the rails, because I have to do it publicly. Here, I think it is important that these officers and agents, at some point along the way, could be identified."
