150 Years of the Department of Justice

AG Bondi and some GOP Reps define the goals of the DOJ: protecting the American people from crime, fraud, trafficking, etc. But the creation of the DOJ preceded the FBI (Federal law enforcement) by decades. Its primary purpose was to enforce civil rights laws. www.justice.gov/history/time...

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

How about demanding that they dismantle the network of concentration camps that they’re building? Or is that asking for too much?

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Interestingly, just before the Grammy handoff, Bad Bunny takes a drink and there’s a sign behind him saying “Conejo” — symbolizing Liam Conejo Ramos? Or is it that Conejo means Bunny in Spanish?

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Bad Bunny holds a football that says Together, we are America.

Unidos somos América.

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Then again Conejo means rabbit. So, who knows?

I’m not sure that was actually supposed to be a young Benito. Just before the Grammy was handed off, there was a clear hint placed: as Bad Bunny takes a drink a sign behind him says “Conejo” — suggesting Liam Conejo Ramos.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps"

The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

Doubling reps in US House seats would totally transform the Electoral College. Wyoming would go from 3 electoral votes to 4. California would go from 54 to 106. 2/2

Radical fix: Each US House district gets two reps, with the top two vote-getters elected to each seat. In narrowly gerrymandered GOP majority seats, Democrats could use bullet voting to get one D elected in many of these seats, eliminating the advantage of partisan gerrymandering. 1/2

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Every American needs to watch this:

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.

Signed,
the American people

Name them
shame them

little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?

lol this is the most ominous letter I've ever seen in my life.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
