Historians need to create a new category below the worst.

Hegseth is simply too stupid to realize the seriousness of his ineptitude in this action and the danger it engendered. To him, being no big deal, why would he ever consider resigning?

So much in our system has been based on acting in accordance with customs & traditions built up over decades, along with statutes built upon the Constitution. All of that is worthless when a cohort of people decide they’re not going to abide by those precepts.

Reminds me of the odd-even days on which we could buy gasoline here in NJ during the oil embargoes of the 70s.

A harbinger of the sure-to-come chaos at HHS. God help us all.

After this nightmare period finally ends, there are so many previously accepted β€œnorms” that must be converted to laws with meaningful penalties applied if ignored. Hatch Act, I’m thinking of you.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Sara Nelson &Shawn Fain are 2 labor leaders to be proud of. They speak their mind, stand their ground& always put the best interests, not only of their respective unions’ members, but working ppl everywhere. The Dem leadership should jettison the consultants &look to them as a model for how to fight

His sexual orientation is certainly his own business, but besides being a hypocrite about it, he’s a sexual predator and that makes him a criminal, not just a crappy human being.

Too busy fundraising off the chaos. The entire system is so broken.

I’ve had this same thought. The next (God willing) Dem administration will need to spend an inordinate amount of time putting a functioning executive branch back together, probably at some cost to time needed to get other things accomplished. What waste; what a mess.We will be lucky to make it thru

Yes.
A Star Trek analogy, If I may: #FelonTrump and his conspirators like to portray themselves as the Borg, but in reality they’re the Ferengi, greed and all.

I guess they found that big old faucet up north on some satellite image. I’ll give #FelonTrump this, he never underestimates the stupidity of his cult members.

Everyone who’s saying the media is failing usβ€”WATCH THIS.

ALSO:

Dear @msnbc.com, how about a weekday version of The Weekend to replace Morning Joe? They keep it real and call it like it is. That’s what we need, deserve, and will consider watching again!

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

I have one 19 month-old grandson, and another grandchild on the way, and I could not agree with you more.

Olan Soule was another member of Jack Webb’s repertory company of dependable character actors. On Dragnet, he often played a doc, a coroner or a member of the Scientific Investigation Division. I also recall him in Towering Inferno, I think either as a fire dept official or engineer.
