here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

To be fair, several US institutions would themselves never get approval of an ethics committee

Not to point out the obvious, but if political scientists had proposed the sort of life-size stress test of institutions that the US is currently undergoing, they would never have gotten it past the ethics committee

Listened to Blink 182 all the way home from Los Angeles, nostalgic for when Bush was the bad guy and McCain the worst case scenario

Don't Say DOGE: How Fascists Manipulate Our Language to Gain Power When we use the words that fascists weaponize, we help them legitimize scams and propaganda.

🚨 Don’t say DOGE ("dowzh"). Fascists like Musk and Trump are using propaganda to manipulate public discourse. Here's how we can fight back—with humor, mockery, and critical language.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office.

But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection.

The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

I was just thinking about how it's all meaningless in the hands of the current court. But in that case, the only meaning that matters is what we decide as a collective.

Let’s all take a moment to remind #Democrats saying they lost because the party was “too woke” what Dr. King said about white moderates.

This tiktok ban back-and-forth is giving my serious flashbacks to a very traumatic childhood. Have a feeling I'm going to need to call on that resiliency in the coming years.
