Former domestic policy advisor to Rubio:

They did a much better job selling the WMD story back in the day than today’s version.

CONGRESS declares war.

NOT President tRumpstein.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

One thing you can do right now: Cancel your Paramount and Warner Bros subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

It is really hard for me to square people being really angry that Democrats aren't fighting more and them celebrating that Mamdani is becoming BFFs with trump and openly sucking up to him. This isn't about Mamdani, I'm just saying, what do you **actually want**?

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy

56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough

56% - Trump is not committed to our rights

62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters.

Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

‘I Don’t Know That I’ll Ever Be OK With Myself’ — POLITICO Nancy Mace opens up about her trauma, why she does what she does and Donald Trump as a “father figure.”

Then go to therapy and stop using your position in lieu thereof. WW and their damn daddy issues…

Dean W. Ball Y @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

You need to be a citizen to vote.

You do not need to “love your country”.

That isn’t a pre-requisite under democracy.

Americans should be deeply ashamed of what their country has become, and they should vote for change at the polls.

Anything else is dictatorship.

Quakertown Chief McElree out on leave, solicitor confirms An attorney for Quakertown Borough has confirmed that Chief Scott McElree is on workers' compensation leave after clash with student protesters.

Quakertown 5 Update: The marauding chief of police is now out on workers' comp leave. Apparently, he needs treatment for the wounds he incurred while choking and beating a teen girl.

So here’s what’s so fucking funny about this. Palantir doesn’t provide “full, unrestricted access“ to its IP. None of these companies do. So it builds lots of “decision support tools” for folks at CENTCOM (why does that feel relevant), but refuses to share with DoD what’s “under the hood.”

From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s recent attempts to seize state voter data set a chilling precedent for how his administration might interfere in the midterms should Republicans lose the House, Senate, or key state races.

Watch:

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

Donald Trump Skips Dignified Transfer of Fallen U.S. Soldiers to Attend Luxury Dinners in Florida President Donald Trump has come under fire for skipping a ceremony to welcome home fallen soldiers in favor of flying to Florida for golf and fundraising events.

Trump about to announce he's creating The Supremest Court, which you can join as an associate justice by buying $11 million of his shitcoin and agreeing to adopt Eric.

Paramount + WBD may not be the slam dunk you think it is. It's a great bet that this is not on most people's radars in Hollywood. But they might want to pay attention.

A worthwhile piece on Warner.

"So Paramount, w/a $12 bil market cap, is doing a $111 bil acquisition, $33 billion of which is debt, $40 bil which is equity backed by Larry, whose wealth is tied to Oracle, which is leveraged to the gills. What could go wrong?"

For every one of us who has complained that Democrats aren't doing enough, it’s up to us to demand a better party. The way to demand that party is to support fighters during this primary season.
