The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

49. The game isn't over by far. But make no mistake: we are winning. That's something to be proud of. It's something to accelerate. It's nothing to take for granted. And it's certainly no time to take Yglesias' advice and fumble the ball so the other team won't feel so sad. /fin

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough? www.wmur.com/article/brow...

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:

A Supreme Court that overturns Humphrey's Executor and 90 years of precedent to enable Donald Trump's corrupt march toward oligarchy is simply not a sustainable or legitimate institution.

When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

"At some point the men began waving to something overhead, which three people familiar with the briefing said logically must have been U.S. aircraft flying above them. All three interpreted the actions of the men as signaling for help, rescue, or surrender."

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

"Corn ethanol requires millions of acres that could instead be used for food crops or more efficient energy sources. One recent study found that solar panels can generate as much energy as corn ethanol on roughly 3% of the land."

Bullfucking shit. The Hague for everyone who justifies this. These are human beings and you are murdering them.

Trump and Hegesth need people to be mindless zombies, only follow the orders that their given, not think more holistically about them. So literally anything that might cause someone to question: Is this order aligned with my oath? is a huge threat. To them, "treason" (which it's not) /END

This is designed to tank public health & primary care by excluding public health professions, advanced nursing practice, physical & occupational therapy from loans that can cover the cost of education. This is going to make an existing workforce crisis worse. aspph.org/department-o...

This is exactly why sex workers rights activists have been screaming that the best way to prevent people from being exploited in the first place is to offer them safety and security and access to basic needs. The fewer the resources one has, the more vulnerable one becomes

No immigrant ever took my health insurance away, inflated the price of my groceries or made it impossible to find an affordable house. Only assholes who love money more than their country did that.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

An essential read from Carol Leonnig: “If it was anybody else, we'd arrest him tomorrow.” That’s what an experienced Justice Department official said about Donald Trump after the FBI discovered hundreds of classified documents concealed from investigators. And it’s indisputable.
