The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government. Me, in print for a change, in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Pretty much sums it up!!

"It is an absolute disgrace that the Epstein discharge petition sat one signature short for months while Jen Kigg[a]ns refused to sign. We deserve better than a Congresswoman who was covering up for a pedophile in an attempt to protect her President." - Elaine Luria bluevirginia.us/2025/11/u-s-...

There’s still time to contact your GOP representative and demand that they vote YES on releasing the full Epstein files.

I voted no. I want to tell you why.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown. We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

Kate Jackson #BOTD with David Selby in NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS (1971). Dan Curtis’ second DARK SHADOWS movie celebrates its 55th anniversary next year. Here’s hoping we finally see the long-gestating director’s cut. #FilmSky #DarkShadows

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Another day, another PBS affiliate lost. But this time it’s a whole state. NJ PBS will go dark in July, 2026 unless new funding can be found. The state-wide network of channels has served New Jersey for more than 50 years. whyy.org/articles/new... #PBS #NPR

And a serious one, to underline just some of the real damage RFKjnr is responsible for-

This is actually how an FBI weaponized by the president behaves and is a classic move by authoritarians from Mussolini to Hitler to Stalin, Putin and Pinochet: persecution of perceived political enemies.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down. In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...
