This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia. Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will:

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer. “Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

The Roberts Court deciding that law doesn’t apply to the president, at least this one, even when he’s out of office, was a bad idea. They should not have done that. It has had foreseeable negative consequences. They should have gone with the Constitution and over two centuries of precedent instead.

If Trump is encouraging a primary against Marjorie Taylor Greene over whatever is in those files, why isn’t the first thought— something might well be very damaging in those files? And the second thought that follows: who cares if it is a dud because they’re going after their own base over it?

Basically, war crimes are very bad, but more and bigger war crimes are worse. Hegseth/Trump's open goal is to get the US military honoring the laws of armed combat less, which is a change for the worse. They're already acting on that in the Caribbean and potentially with Venezuela.

If you'd prefer "smarter democratic backsliders," fine. But there are multiple examples of aspiring authoritarians moving slower, more methodically, and consolidated power better, such as Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, Modi in India.
