“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

« Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II… On March 24, 1945, the topic for the week was “FASCISM!” »

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... This mind-blowing attack is the direct result of a Supreme Court MAGA majority, and Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. specifically, who granted him broad immunity never envisioned by the Framers. He has taken that and run with it—now headfirst into war.

We are not—and have never been—a Christian nation. We are a diverse, secular nation, which guarantees the right of individual conscience. But evangelical Christian nationalists have been waging a long-fought campaign to do away with that right.

Please stop asking whether Donny Orange-Rind "actually believes" whatever story he's telling. It's an irrelevant question. He doesn't care whether the story is true. He only cares whether it's a good story. Not even he knows whether or not he "actually believes" it. Nor does he give a damn.

From @pkrugman.bsky.social's newsletter a couple days ago:
“‘Populist’ leaders like Trump — I don’t like the term, but it has come to mean politicians who have disdain for responsible policy and the rule of law…”
This lit up a lightbulb for me.

“Over the weekend, two senseless shootings were separated by 10,000 miles. During both, innocent people were murdered, but the reaction of the countries’ leaders was as far apart as the deadly incidents.”
I'm going to start using the word 'catchfart' more now.

(With thanks to @himself.bsky.social, who used it in a piece earlier this year. I was today years old when I learned that this word exists.)
Every time I read his name in an article, I substitute the word "Donny." It works wonders! I suggest writers begin doing this themselves so that I don't have to fix it in post.

The truth is that Republicans were in a no-win situation, so they rolled over and played dead. But Mike Johnson can't admit that, so he lies.

Yeah. This was not supposed to be prophetic. 😂

“What Axios published isn’t journalism. It was just a hit piece disguised as news. It’s a cynical attempt to take down a candidate who scares [those people] who’ve built their careers pretending that Christianity and cruelty are the same thing.”

“MAGA politicians who, for instance, insist Charlie Kirk’s murder was the result of ‘hate speech’… have no business demonizing and dehumanizing Democrats [or] to flyspeck Democrats’ accurate descriptions of the views and rhetoric of MAGA politicians.”
