I also will fight but I’m realistic. Money is power and they have it all.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

If you complain about the random murder of your innocent fisherman, I'll rip off your entire country and then some. And if you don't like that...

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.
As we devolve into fascism, there’s not much chance of a blue House in 2026. But if Democrats ever get even a bit of power, our government will have been so destroyed that it will be very hard to make progress. Enough people will say, you didn’t do enough and vote fascism forever.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posts her text thread with HuffPost reporter SV Date — when asked about who suggested Budapest for Trump’s meeting with Putin, she replies “Your mom did.”

On the blog, I recap a very dispiriting oral argument in last week's SCOTUS Voting Rights Act case. I explain why questions by Justice Barrett about the permissibility of a discriminatory effects prohibition may be decisive, and I call out Justices Alito and Gorsuch for how they framed the issues. 👇

The instant consensus--with which I agree--is that last Wednesday's oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais  portends the final step in the Ro...

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

Now I wake up at 4 am too, but it’s not because of Jake brakes or train whistles. It’s the authoritarianism that wakes me so early — the constant hum of fascism creeping in. The loud sound of oligarchy.

Just like Biden changed out people on NLRB and made lots of policy changes to support unions and companies that support unions. You can’t change everything to everyone’s satisfaction overnight. So the party gets voted out, because enough didn’t change. Trump 1 and 2 are and were horrible for unions.

...at some point around the middle they came for John Bolton, and I did not speak out, because it kinda seemed like that dude belongs in prison.

The entire "presumption of regularity" can essentially be thrown out the window at this point.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.
