I watch myself watching cable TV. I believe I'm afraid of me. youtu.be/wM8V5mMGYas?...

A West Texas Children’s Clinic Where Vaccine Suspicion Is Encouraged www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u... Don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

Our President is ordering extrajudicial killings with no legal justification. It's fucking insane. The independent government lawyers that were supposed to stop stuff like this are gone.

Maybe unfettered sports betting is bad for society?

The fact that we're being rule by Stephen Miller and Russel Vought, two angry high school losers, amazes me. Vought graduated from Wheaton College, FFS. The Christian one.

Whether it’s Bill Clinton letting a donor sleep in the Lincoln bedroom or Donald Trump completely demolishing the east wing of the White House, neither president showed proper respect for our nation’s most sacred building.

I feel like answer is going to be, like, “not unless they’re also domestic abusers”

“There’s no way I’m bending the knee I have left for a king in America.” Damn. Just … damn.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

Whatever liberal democracy meant as a mater of teleological progress, evolving out of the evils of aristocracy, it meant you don't have government agents grabbing people off the street based on nothing more than how they look or what job they're performing.

Fuck the Yankees and release the Epstein files.

If you think it's reasonable to detain someone for suspicion of an immigration violation -civil offense - based only on their ethnicity or occupation, you're a piece of shit.

If we held tech companies liable for how their customers use their sites and apps, we would be a much better nation. Repeal section 230.

Reporter: There was a little awkwardness in the courtroom because 2 different versions of the indictment were presented and Halligan had signed both of them. That underscored how new she is at this. Who is going to prosecute this case? Is it going to be Halligan, who has no prosecutorial experience?

Starting to lose faith in this Department of Justice

I can't believe the world turned out such that the President of the United States says broadcast licenses should be revoked from press that criticize him. How did we get here? Reagan's tax cuts for the ultra wealthy? Bush's Iraq war based on lies? Citizen's United? Having a black President?

Donald Trump installed RFK as head of HHS because he wants Americans to die.

So what are the chances Trump ordered this hit to fan the flames of his authoritarianism?

Trump is attacking Venezuela as post-text for his rounding up immigrants under supposed emergency war powers.

As an attorney who has studied collective action problems, this is an unmitigated disaster. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Will we ever find out what information Russia has that it holds over Trump?

2d Amendment jurisprudence was sparse and consistent until Scalia's made up opinion in Heller in 2008. The reason is that the right to bear arms was always understood to be limited to the context of participation in a well regulated militia because that's what the Amendment actually says.

I wonder if snoop dogg knows how to explain this to his grandkids

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social: It's not backsliding, it's a march to dictatorship. Only @thebulwark.com

Comrade Trump is seizing corporations for the motherland!

All our progress toward liberal democracy, toward the rule of law, toward peace and stability, toward the creation of wealth and the alleviation of poverty, is being thrown out the window at breakneck speed. It's dizzying to watch. I can't believe this is 2025. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/r...

The chance the DOJ gives the House Oversight Committee Epstein documents that haven't been scrubbed of Trump's involvement is like 1% Trump owned a modeling agency that used H-1B visas to import Eastern European girls like his wife, as well as the Miss Teen USA pageant.

Imagine hating me when I see you give more than I can take, but I only harvest some.

Europe should take out Putin with some cruise missiles.

Donald Trump is a traitor.

Conservatives use to hate authoritarian regimes. The United States used to stand for freedom and the rule of law. Democracy. Political freedom. Putin murders his political opponents and journalists. He rules like a king. His people are needlessly poor to support a corrupt elite.

I think Israel and Russia have a Epstein tape of Trump raping underaged girls.

Will the Third Amendment (no quartering of troops) become relevant again in my lifetime?

If you asked me in law school if the government would ever argue they could detain people based on how they look and what language they are speaking, I would have laughed at you. "Ha, no we have civil rights." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It's immoral to criminalize homelessness and poverty, especially while advocating for and implementing public policies that increase poverty and mental illness.

To keep the vote of the suburban, exurban and rural people, Trump had to constantly demonize out groups to keep such people in a perpetual state of fear. Living only among people of your same race and class is a disaster for one's humanity.

Same sex marriage should have been grounded in equal protection rather than substantive due process. This court is clearly going to overturn Obergefell.

Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away. I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day.

One of Trump’s Day 1 executive orders was titled “Restoring Free Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” Here is its Orwellian interpretation, per a sitting FCC commissioner:

In Nazi Germany, teachers had to join the National Socialist Teachers League and swear loyalty to Hitler. The regime rewrote school curricula to glorify German exceptionalism, enforce rigid gender roles, and remove dissenters from classrooms through ideological purges and forced conformity.

We were supposed to have been better than Donald Trump as a nation. What a disappointment.

Sturgill Morning Dew and that Uncle John's Band are the highlights. Sturgill's voice is that of an Angel from Heaven. And that jam in UJB made me respect Mayer. It was really good.

Has Oteil every scat when playing for DaCo? Like in a "Time is Free"?

I'm not crying, you're crying. Mission in the Rain is making me weepy.

Maureen Dowd is insufferable. Time to retire.

Are we getting a Picasso Moon tomorrow?
