Our system is not a machine that saves us automatically. It is a tool. And right now it only works if millions of people pick it up and use it. The failure is real. The grief is real. But history does not reward the people who noticed the collapse. It rewards the people who stopped it.

We use vague words like corruption, graft or grifting, but the simple fact is that we are watching crimes—Fraud, Theft, Bribery, Extortion—being committed in broad daylight, and these people can't be ushered into prison cells fast enough (after fair and impartial proceedings that honor due process).

See this for what it is: The desperate temper tantrum of a malignant narcissist swaddled in broken yes-men. He's feeling trapped by the impending consequences of his traitorous actions. They know they've never had less support.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

All they had to do was have intelligence that the guy was going to try something, assess his threat level/capacity, then choose not to stop him. Not difficult. So anyway, lets get back to demanding the release of the unredacted Trump/Epstein Files.

A step away from asking the Russians to investigate their own influence operations in the US. The guiding principle of Trump policy is that Russian ops are good because they support him personally. The guiding principle of Russian policy is that Trump is good because he wrecks the US & helps Russia.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

Seems like his plan is to put American troops in an intentionally vulnerable position (Kharg Island), let it go to shit/get them killed; Then attempt to get as many people possible to view Americans opposed to further escalation (nukes, refusal to honor election results etc) as equally 'the enemy'.
