Andrew Johnson illegally fired Edwin Stanton on Feb 21, 1868. The House voted, in a one-sentence resolution, to impeach him on Feb 24. The actual articles were adopted March 2-3. The Senate trial began on March 4. Twelve days from the offense itself to facing trial for it.

the vice president is a klansman

work friend and i have been hitting up different soup joints for our friday lunch lately and that shit is going to hit like a freight train on a cold drizzly day like today

massive clean hits by guys wearing the Guardian Cap is a Woke 2 indicator

I am looking forward to doing anti-Australian propaganda on here. Perfect World Cup opponent

i will vote for any presidential candidate who campaigns on sending pete hegseth to the hague

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

North Carolina - Senate Polling: 🔵 Cooper: 48% 🔴 Brown: 38% 🔵 Cooper: 47% 🔴 Whatley: 39% Harper Polling / Nov 10, 2025

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I have a bridge for sale. Senate Dems and Angus King—DM me for the deets.

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

Shoes off on the bus… why not… yea dawgs out on the bus… sure

otherwise a grim night but I'll give the writers this, it's pretty funny they're having to hold the vote open so Cornyn can get there and his flight's delayed

That the executive can't spend money, and thus do stuff, without the regular and periodic approval of a representative legislature isn't some incidental hiccup. It is the core premise of the power of the purse, the most bedrock foundation of Anglo-American constitutionalism from time immemorial.

Today, lots of pundits will write that last night confirms their priors. Ignore them all. The truth is that Americans are fundamentally good and when they vote, good candidates, who represent their values win. That's the basic bet of democracy and last night proved it

ok ceasefire back on agaaaiiiinnn startiiiiiiinnnng (killing a hundred people) now

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Throwback Thursday: The first thing I did when I got a car with a USB port was see if I could connect a floppy drive to it to play music. I could! Granted, I did have to build a custom disk image by hand, since the floppy disk had to be formatted as if it were an SD card and not a floppy.

Delighted to celebrate the expansion of the Kansas City Streetcar line to UMKC and the Plaza today with my family and so many more. A wonderful day of progress for transit, density, walkability, and access for all in Kansas City. It’s also free fare. Congrats, Kansas City. More to come!

Tell your normie friends that it’s fucked up that the US government is building concentration camps and that if we don’t stop this now it only ends in one place.

Happy @kcstreetcar.org Expansion Friday to all who celebrate! Stretching nearly 6 miles from the Riverfront to UMKC, the service has outperformed nearly every other modern streetcar operation in the U.S. on its initial route.🎉🚊

This obliterates my Upstate is anywhere not on Metro North stance, sadly

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory

If your commute is boring and monotonous try taking the bus, it will surely add some excitement to your day

i do firmly believe in the end, we will win, but the dread and the loss of watching this nightmare unfold is really something. These assholes are undermining everything we've taken for granted as a democratic and open society (however imperfect) with such vile hubris

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Fun fact: in chapter nineteen of the Second Treatise, John Locke writes that when the legislative power is usurped from that body in which the People have placed it, and exercised instead by a person or body not authorized to do so by the People, government is dissolved

"The liberty and security of our fellow citizens is our great object, and not the prompt execution of the laws. Indecision, delay, blunders, nay villainous actions in the administration of government, are trifles compared to legalizing the full exertion of a tyrannical disposition."

“No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”
