"No Kings is brilliant because it's so capacious":
You need only believe in America's founding principles to be a part of it.

Nicholas Rockefeller's 40-Year Con: Part III
Beneath the “wonderful man” described by a Yale Law School classmate lurked a dark, abusive Mr. Hyde.
Here’s the final chapter of the wildest story I’ve ever written. “Nick Rockefeller,” who died with his secret intact, may be the most successful imposter in US history. share.google/K0qYhyU1HbbM...

Hey, @susanchumsky.bsky.social you may be right! But my people were in the Pale of Settlement then.

I'm so saddened by the death of Bob Barnett, who represented me (for 27 years) and so many others on both sides in politics and journalism. It's cool to deride "insiders" and "elitists" and they have their faults. But they (we) have brought continuity and decency to the system. RIP, Bob.

Can Spencer Cox Prevent a Civil War?
Amid all the hypocrisy and projection, focusing on social media might help us avoid becoming the Donner Party
Vance lied. The very conservative Cato Institute reports that since 1975 (excluding 9/11), 10 percent of political murders have been from the left, 23 percent from Islamicists, and 63 percent from the right.

As Congress gets set to approve THE BIG UGLY BILL, it's essential that it be called that in EVERY reference to it--over and over again through the midterms. Americans are already overwhelmingly against THE BIG UGLY BILL, but need to call it by one name so the stigma sticks.

Good News! Bezos Screws Trump
Even though he backed off on breaking out the Trump Tariff on Amazon products, the cat is out of the bag
Good news! Bezos backed off his idea to break out tariffs on Amazon products but the cat is out of the bag. When the toys parents buy (almost all from China) are more than twice as expensive, they will know to blame Trump open.substack.com/pub/oldgoats...

Trump’s Huge Tariff Exemption Grift
The latest shakedown makes Tammany Hall and the Daley Machine look like the League of Women Voters
Must read from @jonathanalter.bsky.social on #FFELON tariff exemption process.
"This lawlessness makes it clear that he wants the “black hole” on tariff exemptions (and other key decisions) to be as dark as possible as soon as possible."
