The Republicans have been promising a specific plan as an alternative to Obamacare ever since it passed in 2010. The promise is 15 1/2 years old now. That's probably why they don't seem very sincerely interested in it.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

I really liked what he was saying. But if there's any way to recover from "hey man you have a fucking SS Nazi tattoo on your tiddy and thought it was OK to have one," he did not find that path, and it's not puritanical or exclusionary to say so, and its ridiculous to even have to explain this.

As deadline for Trump's colleges compact looms, schools signal dissent Of the original nine schools that received the Trump administration's Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, the majority have indicated they are not planning on signing.

I really need people to understand that refusing to seat fascists is an antifascist act that protects democracy & is not the same as fascists refusing to seat antifascists to destroy democracy—in the same way that finding a guilty person guilty isn't the same as finding an innocent person guilty.

No Republicans should ever be permitted to live down Trump. It should be a generational shame that haunts their descendants.

The idea that we should move on from this open criminal who waged war against his own country and global democracy *while he is still waging it* is quantum complicity.

Has the Supreme Court Abandoned Originalism? The right-wing majority has veered hard in the direction of unitary executive theory—and a schism with conservative legal scholars is starting to widen.

The Supreme Court is poised to deliver a series of rulings this term that dramatically expand President Donald Trump’s powers. Chief Justice John Roberts and his colleagues will likely claim that t...

one thing we can never allow to happen again is making someone president who is rich enough to fund endless frivolous lawsuits

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

This is like a thank-you from Pauly Shore, after Rob Schneider consoled him by saying the Academy Awards had lost credibility for not giving either of them a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

ICE is more Count Rugen in this scenario.

Judge Immergut (my new favorite judge) issued her 31-page opinion, barring federalization of 200 National Guard troops in Portland, <48 hrs after entering the case. It’s a model of restrained but powerful prose & reasoning. Read it yourself ...

Her ruling is also a model for how a judge can use Trump’s unhinged words (“war-ravaged Portland”) against him without going off the rails him- or herself. E.g., “The president’s own statements [show] that his determination was not ‘conceived in good faith’” & was “untethered to the facts.”

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

"And I think it is an extraordinary indictment of the character of our nation's thousands or millions of Ezras Klein that they set himself in opposition not against the violence currently being done but against the struggle." This right here.

This is a Denis Leary skit from way back in the Lock N' Load days.

Anytime, anywhere you hear anyone say that democrats have shut down the government, kindly correct them. The republicans shut down the government.

The republicans shut down the government.

The republicans shut down the government.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

I keep using the term "non compos mentis" to describe Trump because that's how he's acting. It's beyond his longstanding history of total ignorance, habitual lying, and constant exaggeration. He's genuinely disconnected from reality and often incapable of expressing coherent thoughts.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
