One of the key features of authoritarian / totalitarian government is the sidelining of the organs of governement in favor of the organs of The Party (Nazi, Fascist, Communist). These party organs assume the role of various goverment functions (think DOGE). A subtle by scary development.

Why Is the US Defense Department Funding China’s Military Research?

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Oh eldritch horror, you are no match for the epitome of evil already stalking us!

(www.wonkette.com/p/i-shub-nig...)

I, Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, may be evil, I
may absorb you through my womb and rebirth you as a satyr-like monstrosity, I may be
of such hideous countenance with my black tentacles and mouths that drip slime that
no ordinary human can look upon me without expiring from terror, I may demand you
summon my dark young with a human sacrifice upon a stone altar during the blackest
moon.
But at least I'm not Stephen Miller.

People were losing their fucking minds!!!

"The [shipment] was short in one product that in Wisconsin almost certainly would get noticed if concession stands ran out early: There weren't enough brats....the kind of precooked, natural-casing product Wisconsin sold for years was being discontinued."

Wisconsin Badgers changed the brats they're serving. Here's the backstory

Wisconsin introduced a new brand of brat to concession stands a year after it almost had to shift in the middle of the football season. Here's the background.

As I think more about where we are as Americans I find that the Democratic party offers nothing, only a counterweight to the GOP. It's not enough to just oppose GOP, you need to give us something to vote FOR, not just vote AGAINST.
