Fuck yes. MAGA must go, but so do squishy powerful guys like this. They cannot be trusted with our future.

Yes. If he does this, legislative leaders in Colorado should make clear right now, that they will remove him from office.

Polis is now making risible arguments to support a clearly indefensible idea. That’s shameful. But the damage to the party and country if he followed through would be severe and require some response. Impeachment happens to be the only one of any consequence.

Reminder: Tina Peters’s crimes were much civically graver than the median January 6 insurrectionist’s. And she revealed herself to be the kind of person who’d fake contrition to receive clemency, then recant. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

If Jared Polis caves to extortion and pardons an unrepentant insurrectionists, he should be impeached and removed. But everyone involved would probably be better off in Colorado Dems brandished the threat, and Polis backed down. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

The Campaign to Take Down Alex Bores Is Just the Beginning A leading AI industry-backed Super PAC is targeting a pro-regulation candidate β€” and building a strategy that other politicians will have to contend with.

So a co-founder of Palantir is funding political attack ads against a guy pushing for AI regulation, who used to work at Palantir, using the fact that he worked at Palantir against him.

(FWIW, I think Bores has some very bad regulation ideas, but still...)

Watch this video.

This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.

We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she β€œcleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
