If Schumer really does "stand with Mark Kelly" then he should work with House counterparts to appropriate a special retirement package for Senators who the Pentagon censures for exercise of free speech. And slash the Pentagon budget. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/05/p...

Today is Marge Greene’s last day in Congress.

And furthermore, since when is guaranteed success, or even foreseeing a path to success, required to do the right thing? I'll be frank. That perspective is morally abhorrent to me, cowardly, and leads to almost guaranteed failure. Impeach now.

Some citizens still insist that there's no point in impeachment because "we don't have 2/3 of Congress". To me, that's a fundamental misunderstanding of our system of government. And furthermore logically unsound. Consider for the sake of argument that it's true, that they're right. (next post)

We've got to start massive, spontaneous protests. Unless we have people in the streets - a lot of them - the entire world will believe that we're all fine with what's happening. Putin is drawing a target on our backs. The world will soon take aim.

There are two kinds of Representatives in Congress: those who overtly support the illegal wars of a dictator, and those who submit or support articles of impeachment. There is nothing in between. And that goes for Democrats as well.

After the United States military prosecuted this illegal, unconstitutional war of aggression, we, the American public, can no longer trust them. We can't do anything about them YET, but in time we'll have the power. Aside from prosecutions we need to start thinking about downsizing & redefining.

"crimes against humanity such as extrajudicial killings, torture, violence and disappearances" - is this talking about Maduro or Trump? www.bbc.com/news/article...

When Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House, what did he do with all of the furniture, art and furnishings? Anyone know?

This country cannot afford to allow a dementia patient to direct foreign policy, law enforcement and economic policy. Let alone a dishonest dementia patient. Seriously, right now, urgently. Is that so difficult to comprehend?

Chief Justice Roberts finally realized that he and his court are despised by the large majority of Americans, so he hopes to avoid answering to us. Impeach him. www.cnn.com/2025/12/31/p...

George Santos has committed so many crimes, so frequently, that there's no way he was prosecuted and pardoned for all of them. Why is there no further investigation? You shouldn't just give up just because Trump got him off on the convictions.

I always expected LLM AI to become an incredible asset for organizing internet search results. For decades I held this. Using chat AI for authoritative sources, copying the text for critical work, I admit I never saw that coming. Even now it doesn't make sense to me.

Smith's opening statement. And yet, he DID accommodate delay after delay in starting the trial, precisely because of Trump's candidacy. I understand why he'd downplay it, and why nobody calls him out on it, but it means taking his subsequent testimony with a grain of salt

Thank you. This is one to actually download and read! Because you know, there's already been a ton of lying about it, and there'll be a lot more before this is over.

Congress is compromised. The Administration is controlled by Russian assets. The Supreme Court bribed by oligarchs. We, the PEOPLE, should empower a special investigation unit, that answers only to the people, to root out and ARREST foreign controlled assets in every federal branch.

Thought experiment. What would happen in the world if the 500 richest people somehow disappeared, and all of their wealth and assets returned to the people? What changes would happen right away?

When I got laid off (because of a lying backstabber but that's another story) and my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, ACA gave us a chance for treatment. If it happened today, she'd have no hope. A horrible, agonizing death. BTW we beat the cancer, I got rehired and we have insurance.

Just a reminder, if it's at all possible your vote is safer if you vote in person. This USPS delay in postmarking is just one of many things that could go wrong. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Time for a cat-break at the home office.

Trump Delusion Syndrome? If you can listen to the man for 30 seconds and not realize that he's morally unfit and far below average intelligence, then you aren't sentient enough to have an opinion on the matter.

I've got something to say to Dems harping on "Bernie voters" who went Trump: knock it off. Half of those (12% of his primary voters) were Republican voters to begin with. Bernie took voters AWAY from Trump. And some crossover is NORMAL. 25% of Hillary primary voters in AR went McCain.

I'm afraid I got a little blunt with my MAGA neighbor. He brought up the latest Fulton County votes allegation, with a little smug smirk. I just asked him just how many times was he going to swallow bullshit before giving up on it.

There is no chance of third party success, because of the systemic advantage given to the two parties. As conventional wisdom insists. Conventional wisdom is wrong, and worse, superficial. When irreconcilable extremist views fragment a party, third parties arise by default.

This DOJ would have us believe that the DOJ (in sole possession of the files) would have weaponized it against Trump, if the information were true. So, the DOJ is saying don't trust the DOJ about the Epstein files.

Is it just me, or do you think it's way past time for establishment Democrats to stop blaming non-voters for Kamala Harris' tone-deaf campaign? Let it go and stop repeating the same old losing mistakes!

Overt US government assault on free speech.

ICE agents are literally stealing groceries. Because their criminal activity is protected by armed federal forces and local police

Wishing everyone a pleasant day after Christmas, with the season finally over and you can relax. Beautiful outdoor weather here, perfect for a forest outing with Wildcat aka Sweetie.

If there was any integrity at all at X, the DOJ account would be suspended for impersonation. Just because it's a President instead of a more common scammer makes it no less of a fraud.

Why would Schiff even say that? Seriously, "We must summon Bondi and compel her to explain this violation." Or, "There will be a criminal contempt referral if Bondi cannot justify" But "I think"? Ok I think that also but I'm not a MOC who can actually do something. Mr Schiff, actually do something.

There's one caveat not mentioned about the interstellar 3I/Atlas approaching Earth. A spaceship crossing inside the Earth's orbit yet never getting closer than 1.9 AU is staying as far away as possible. It's not "approaching" us.

If moderate Republicans really wanted a "nuclear option" they'd caucus with the Democrats and make Jeffries the House Leader. Of course in the real world there are no "moderate Republicans" in Congress. www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/p...

This is a little confusing because there is no executive order authorizing the killings, and no official designation of "DTO". This maybe refers to the Miller Memo? Of course it's vague, Miller is mentally ill and weak of mind.

Maybe change is afoot. I've been disgusted seeing FOX and Newsmax playing in the break room on my monthly pilgrimage into the office. But for the past two visits, it's been strictly a weather channel! It's encouraging. Apparently enough of us were offended that we're no longer subjected to that.

If you have even 3 MCP servers (connecting real world data to code or API's) operating you have a 50% chance of data breach. CTO's, what is the temptation to do this? Seriously, I don't get it. What does the LLM do for your internal tools?

I just paid $3.20/gallon for gasoline in Alpharetta. How far do I have to drive for that $2 gasoline? Could I buy some $1/dozen eggs there?

Interstellar object nearing its closest approach to Earth. It it's a spaceship it's more interested in Mars than us. futurism.com/space/myster...

I love this article. It describes Drumpf well "Behold the festering carcass...."

Ok, that $1500 would help for a January insurance premium. What's the plan for February then, and all the other months? nypost.com/2025/12/10/u...

Thank you.

People completely misunderstand democracy when they say that some demographic or another let us all down by not voting enough for Harris. Or Clinton. Don't blame the voters. It's the candidate's one overriding priority to give voters a reason to vote. Blame the candidate, the campaign, and move on

For the past 19 years they've been calling immigration an armed "invasion". Treating it as such to deploy troops and suspend rights. So yes, they CAN and will shoot a grenade at a pickup truck in Miami. Rand Paul was a big part of bringing that about. His actions and his morally bankrupt philosophy

There is an unnoticed problem with the Texas racial gerrymander: it is based on Trump's 2020 census which significantly undercounted minorities. Particularly Hispanic. Which means that some new marginally Republican districts will be flipped & GOP could wind up LOSING seats

Lest we forget, the White House rose garden, before and now

Take heed, it's how we got Donald Trump. Both times.

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans. Crazy, right? Anyway…Merry Christmas.

People are saying "not America but Trump". To them I say "Wake the Fuck UP!" It's formalized in the National Security assessment, it IS formal policy, and they've done it in OUR name. Because we've allowed it. Stop thinking you know better than anyone else, face reality, and do whatever you can.

Barack Obama was wrong. With our current Supreme Court, Donald Trump IS above the law, and his policies and commandments are above the Constitution.

May I humbly suggest that if the FBI has redacted anything that isn't legitimately classified, that the agents responsible be hauled into Congressional hearings to explain themselves? Protecting investigations isn't a law btw. It's a convenience for investigators, allowed as a courtesy.
