“We’re not doing this double standard shit anymore… this is a prime example of being able to dish it but not take it. Scott Jennings has built a career out of being a smug, condescending asshole on TV.” @adammockler.com responds to @GeraldoRivera’s absurd defense of Jennings

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Our sweet Loa passed today under an old, tall crabapple tree, on a bed of blooming violets. She was with her people. I miss her very very much. And I wrote about her here.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Weekend at Bernie's. Gladly they didn't elect that emotional woman.

It's all just overtly blatant. With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

We uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades. Until now.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. Here's how it works. https://youtu.be/p1fPbGHe3xE?si=QZRQImV8KYD5Y90r

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

In case anyone is still confused

Large demonstrations against PM Orbán's government are taking place in large cities of Hungary. This is impressive.

Reagan’s OMB Director:

Imagine that

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.” The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.

BREAKING: House Republicans block the Democrats’ attempt to pass an Iran War Powers Resolution—refusing even to allow a vote. During a pro forma session, Rep. Glenn Ivey sought unanimous consent to advance the measure. Presiding GOP Rep. Chris Smith ignored the request and abruptly gaveled out.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

The undeniable truth that so many indoctrinated Americans refuse to accept... 😒

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
