Americans know the National Guard. The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

If we're going to indict people for lying to Congress I guess that means 20,000 or so indictments for Trump

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

From my new book: "When only half the divide is being tasked with making the peace, there is no peace to be made, but there is a unilateral surrender on offer..... Nevertheless, we get this hopelessly naΓ―ve version of centrism, of the idea that if we’re nicer to the other side there will be no other side, just one big happy family. This inanity is also applied to the questions of belief and fact and principle, with some muddled cocktail of moral relativism and therapists’ β€œeveryone’s feelings are valid” applied to everything. But the truth is not some compromise halfway between the truth and the lie, the fact and the delusion, the scientists and the propagandists. And the ethical is not halfway between white supremacists and human rights activists, rapists and feminists, synagogue massacrists and Jews, xenophobes and immigrants, delusional transphobes and trans people. Who the hell wants unity with Nazis until and unless they stop being Nazis?
"Appeasement didn’t work in the 1930s and it won’t work now. That doesn’t mean that people have to be angry or hate back or hostile, but it does mean they have to stand on principle and defend what’s under attack. There are situations in which there is no common ground worth standing on, let alone hiking over to. If Nazis wanted to reach out and find common ground and understand us, they probably would not have had that tiki-torch parade full of white men bellowing β€œJews will not replace us” and, also, they would not be Nazis. Being Nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, transphobes is all part of a project of refusing to understand as part of refusing to respect. It is a minority position but by granting it deference we give it, over and over, the power of a majority position."

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.

-Collins (ME)
-Tillis (NC)
-Sullivan (AK)

This is your regular reminder that it is not un-Jewish or anti-Israeli to oppose to war in Gaza and call out its crimes against civilians. You are taking a position shared by [checks notes] the former Prime Minister of Israel.

Tonight, remember the power you hold as Americans. Your voices are being heard and they’re changing the course of this country. There’s still a long road ahead. No, Trump doesn’t listen to the courts, but you’re on the right side of history. And we will keep fighting.

Man Feared to Be Cognitively Slipping After Writing Book About Wrong President Devoting a 352-page book to unmasking a president who is no longer in office instead of the one currently creating global chaos indicates serious mental impairment, the experts asserted.
