it's cool we're gonna end up spending a couple decades fighting battles like "the constitution doesn't allow that" and "it's bad to kidnap five year olds and send them to prison"

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms.

In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections.

We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that heโ€™s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want.

Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. Heโ€™s saying this because itโ€™s his policy preference. Itโ€™s what he wants.

Per Yahoo, Le was previously an immigration court attorney for ICE and volunteered* to help the U.S. Attorney's Office in MN.

And it broke her. โ€œWe have no guidance or direction on what we need to do,โ€ Le said.

* "Volunteered" could be her boss saying, "you must volunteer for this."

Opinion | Dan Bonginoโ€™s happy to be back where he can serve Trump best โ€” podcasting Philip Bump: Bongino quit his job as second-in-command at the FBI to go back to podcasting, where he won't have the pressure of having to work in the reality-based world.

Don Bongo โ€” and nearly everyone else on the right โ€” would rather be on the outside hyping Trumpโ€™s lies than on the inside trying to make them comport with reality.

Adding to this with one of my biggest gripes:

If rights in the Constitution arenโ€™t enforceable by individuals when such rights have been violated or if the rights are held otherwise non-justiciable, then those rights in the Constitution cease to exist.

My church, outspokenly progressive since it was helping lead the integration of our Denver neighborhood in the 1960s (MLK spoke there) now has an armed guard on Sundays because of conservative threats, but do go off.

Epstein is a level of criminal in the cultural imagination like Jeffrey Dahmer where if you tell me you *went to a party at his house* even if you personally committed no crimes, I want you to go to jail for not devoting your entire life and savings to stopping whatever you saw there.

The amount of glazing these tech bro fascists got from the press is just staggering.

Their big bold ideas turned out to be eugenics and social Darwinism with a more than a dash of Ayn Rand bullshit.

They should be impeaching him every single day. New crime, new impeachment. They should keep impeaching him once heโ€™s out of office. They should keep impeaching him after heโ€™s dead.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:

The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections โ€” in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

New Rule: Make Triple Trumpers earn their redemption through action.

Hold the collaborators accountable for their misdeeds and actual crimes.

Learn from the mistake of Merrick Garland, "too big to fail," and the slap on the wrist for the Civil War.

Or else this will repeat again and again.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.

Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.
