Turns out some of the people on the right who were fixated on the Constitution and government overreach actually might be concerned about the Constitution and government overreach.

Or, you know, like Trump & Elon Musk tearing down large swathes of the federal government, a set of entitled literally & legally designated & funded by Congress for a wide range of purposes.

Again, there is one & only one constitutional solution to this problem, & everyone is just pretending now.

If you haven’t seen The Studio yet on AppleTV do it. #RIP Catherine O’Hara 😢

The tone shift is to have Tom Homan recite that the extortionate and coercive demands in AG Bondis letter - turn over your voter rolls, abandon your state policies, and give us Medicaid data & we’ll end the occupation and terrorization of a state - are the terms

Note the passive voice here. They kept saying their agents would be endangered. But no protestor has taken a shot at an agent. They also told those agents that they would be supported no matter what they did, had absolute immunity. The Trump admin is responsible for the bloodshed that followed.

Yes. The GOP has spent decades convincing conservatives that only right wing news media can be trusted. All other news is “liberal”. It’s worked. It allows them to make conservatives believe anything they want.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

ICE is claiming that the officer feared that Renee Good was about to seriously injure or kill him at this moment.

2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003.

Jan. 6, 2021: A visual archive of the Capitol attack NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In Chapter 5, we look at how Trump’s pardons, political messaging and use of power reshaped the public story.

One reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy is that they believe public sector jobs aren’t real jobs, & they demonize/defund the govt - at both the state & federal levels - every time they hold power. Only difference this time is how wildly illegally they’ve done it via DOGE.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

if the dems get back in power there better be so many investigations

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Show me the analogue in United States history and tradition that allows America to criminalize foreign powers to possess machine guns.

Trump's handpicked board votes to rename Washington performing arts center the Trump-Kennedy Center President Donald Trump’s handpicked board has voted to rename Washington’s leading performing arts center as the Trump-Kennedy Center.

(2/2) President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's.

(1/2) President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Weird to go to bed reading about the Brown shooting. Waking up to news about the Bondi Beach shooting and to be heading to bed reading that Rob Reiner and his wife were apparently stabbed to death.

I hope everyone affected finds some kind of peace.

Notre Dame: join a conference.

Look. If they put in two G5 teams then just go ahead and plop in two 3-loss teams! #CFBPlayoff

Duke = Chaos Goblins 👹

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
