Other people are still at "is it a constitutional crisis yet?" and I'm at "the crisis was several exits ago, the car has crashed, we're now just seeing how many cars end up in the pileup and how high the casualty count is" or "the house is actively burning down, the question is what's left after."

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

I would not have a PhD in special education without the IES.
The hundreds of teachers I’ve helped prepare benefited from the evidence-based practices I taught them that were funded by the IES.
The work of IES is a MODEL of efficiency in research excellence.

This is not business as usual. Elected Democrats need to stand up. I did my best today to bring that urgency to the floor of the Georgia State Senate.
A far-right tech billionaire is taking over our federal government. We need to sound the alarm at every level, including here in the Georgia Senate. @joshforgeorgia.bsky.social #gapol
