“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

Former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg indicated in an interview published Tuesday that he would “assess” a potential 2028 presidential run and consider “what I bring to the table and how it’s different” from other candidates. wapo.st/4jW5AQQ

REFUGEE: "We'd like asylum in the United States." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "We're full. Not taking any more." REFUGEE: "We're white." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "How soon can you get here?"

At last, moral leadership from an American who now leads much of the world’s faithful. No wonder we are all profoundly hopeful.

You see, here in the U.S., we have this quaint little tradition of not needing to whip out our military dick to feel good about ourselves. But that’s not nearly enough for the Bronze Bloviator, whose ego is so fragile it needs a $92 million security blanket. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Listen to Andrew Zimmern & @chefjoseandres.bsky.social. It’s more important than ever that we give dignity to the people who are keeping America and the world fed…building longer tables instead of demonizing others.

We need to reopen Alcatraz. There has to be another place in our country for dangerous repeat criminals. The White House only has so much room.

A week ago today, FBI agents arrested Judge Hannah Dugan on courthouse grounds on outrageous charges. Immediately, Trump officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi began to celebrate. But this is not going well for them, and it’s going to age like milk on a Miami sidewalk. 🧵

He fled Cuba to escape communism. He’s a 73-year-old grandfather with a heart condition. Primary caretaker of his wife with dementia. Sick. Cruel. Traición. www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

San Francisco gets an A+ for presentation and form.

One man throwing the country into a depression because he had his feelings hurt by jokes from the black president.

First half of clip is Trump last month telling one of his favorite ‘Sir’ stories about his Joint Chiefs Chair nominee Dan Caine, which he has told hundreds of times. Second half of clip is Caine testifying today to the Senate that Trump lied.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Today, a law firm with a storied history surrendered to fascism. Even with a former Attorney General, former Sec. of Homeland Security, two former U.S. Attorneys & a former federal judge among their partners, the firm decided that the rule of law would not protect them from Learned Hand’s “bad man”.

Today Trump has tainted the Great Hall at the Department of Justice with baseless lies of weaponization of law enforcement and Jan 6 “hostages.” This is a dark day in American history.

In 2023, Trump told Sean Hannity “nobody wants to buy” electric vehicles, “the people don’t want them.”

Nobody, since Chamberlain, got so little in exchange for so much.

1938, British PM Chamberlain makes deal with Hitler who guarantees no war — 11 months before WWII

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

I am not one to engage in conspiracy & have shut down talk from others of this election being stolen. However, watching the efficiency of this coup by a few literally taking over all computer systems in a matter of days has me wondering if we should not be asking more questions about the election.
