Stuart Stevens; "Whatever is in Brett Kavanaugh’s heart doesn’t really matter. It’s the evil that he has sanctioned that does. He should be ashamed. But I suspect shame is a foreign country that Brett Kavanaugh will never visit."

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

NEW: @therickwilson.bsky.social gives some advice that Democrats won't take on the looming shutdown fight. Read his latest for Lincoln Square: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/dont-you-d...

The same editors would have printed quotes from unnamed local law enforcement that Emmett Till raped a white woman.

Yes, Trump trials should have moved forward faster, like Brazil. Next time they will.

So what do we think, are they smart enough that this is intentionally a complimentary reference to BIRTH OF A NATION (1915) with wink-wink deniability they didn't mean it, or are they such goofballs they don't even know what they're saying?

Clearly there needs to be a class action suit against a state policy that will cripple and kill citizens. Hopefully a criminal case can also be prosecuted to hold those responsible accountable.

Someone needs to tell CBS that at some point you bend the knee so far that you are just kneeling.

"Chris Wright, the energy secretary, also said, “We don’t want to be in the race for the most expensive electricity in the world." And that's why we are shutting down construction on an 80% complete generation facility with zero marginal cost in a region that relies on expensive LNG

Man murders parents. Begs mercy as an orphan.

This guy Kennedy has taken enough steroids to alter the outcome of the last ten Super Bowls. He was jacked on steroids yesterday. He can't respond like a normal human being because he's in a perpetual state of 'roid rage.

"I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still and I could read." We’re not doctors but it kinda seem like this should’ve been disqualifying 🤷🏻‍♂️

America was warned. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Spent day on Mt. Washington and man, it’s a special place.

The degree that the Republican Party has been compromised by the Russian Federation is the great under-reported story of our time. Nothing like this has ever happened.

ICYMI: Dr. & Sen. Bill Cassidy once championed vaccination programs for children. Now, as a senator, he cast the deciding vote that could lead to devastating consequences for children. @stuartpstevens.bsky.social says the responsibility falls on Cassidy. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stuart-ste...

Mass shootings are an American nightmare. But RFK Jr will kill more Americans than all the mass shooters combined. And Senator Bill Cassidy M.D. let it happen. It’s the greatest case of medical malpractice in history.

Stuart Stevens: "In my first race, I had stumbled onto a truth as basic and immutable as the fact that water freezes below 32 degrees Fahrenheit: Race was the key in which much of American politics and certainly all of Southern politics was played."

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

These people hate America.

Todd Blanche is acting like a mob lawyer because he is.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Putin meets alone with Trump. A week later, US intelligence is gutted by Tulsi Gabbard. FBI goes after John Bolton. Had Putin ordered it through Amazon, could not have been more efficient.

Q: Is Putin tapping Trump along? Sen. Thom Tillis: "How can anybody objectively look at what's happening right now and conclude otherwise?...He's a thug. He's a murderer. He's a rapist. He needs to go." (ht: @thebulwark.com)

It does amuse me that the children of these angry white guys will spend most of their lives living in a minority-majority country. And there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Race is the original sin of modern Republican Party. Thoughts from an insider.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Excellent video! Q: When did you first learn about the Southern Strategy? While you were a GOP operative? Why didn't a lightbulb go off earlier?

Race is the original sin of modern Republican Party. Thoughts from an insider.

The Republican party has given a sweetheart deal to one of the most monstrous child sex traffickers in modern history. Nothing is more important than making sure the voices of the Maxwell-Epstein survivors are heard. Please join this important conversation.

Hope you will join!

Democrats spend far too much time thinking and talking about how to attack Trump & his party. No one attack ever works in politics. What does work is a commitment to sustained aggression. Attack, attack, attack. How Newsom is attacking is much less important than the fact that he is attacking.

“They put Trump’s name on the trucks. This is the clearest possible signal that ICE is intended to be a personal, partisan police force that exists at the disposal of Trump. This is not a choice someone makes if they intend to leave office in three years.” www.thebulwark.com/p/fascist-se...

You can see his deep disappointment in what the Republican Party has become-- Stuart Stevens speaks of where we are now www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stuart-ste...?

Great piece by @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social

I wonder if Marco Rubio ever wonders what would happen to his kids if they needed help and had to turn to someone like Marco Rubio?

I saw my first ICE attack — 4 unmarked black SUVs with blue lights flashing, w three house painters cuffed on the side of a highway they'd backed up for 30 minutes in both directions — and I can tell you this much: I will die hating these people, and I will spend the rest of my life ruining theirs.

Like every turning point in the ongoing Trump humiliation of GOP leaders, no Republican has stood to defend American dignity and Decency. Two monsters: Vladimir Putin and Ghislaine Maxwell, embraced by the Republican Party. Putin and Maxwell: Welcome to the GOP open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...
