It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s still the Department of Defense.
And it’s still the Kennedy Center.

And they will remain as such long after that orange fucking idiot is gone.

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.

Ex-Trump lawyer John Dowd defends Jack Smith:

"Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. In that investigation, Smith proved himself to be fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts … [R]ecent attacks on Smith are motivated by partisan politics."

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

If you're feeling like shit right now, you're not alone. It's just a fucking lot. It's been a monstrous year and a monstrous past few days. We can distract ourselves with all the distractions, but our nervous systems know what we're soaking in. So if your chronic pain is acting up...yeah, mine too.

Trump just endorsed a post calling for the arrests of Chris Wray and Merrick Garland.

There's almost no media coverage of the sitting president supporting the arrest of a former FBI director and former Attorney General.

Rob Reiner was right about Trump. He never backed down from opposing him for an instant. And he was right to do so.

Everyone with a heart and a conscience should hold that same tenacious position. They should fervently push back against this madness with every fiber of their being.
Rob Reiner Was Right About Trump
But he was also right about us.
