Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

You are also the traffic you loathe. You’re the bad driver you curse. You’re part of the reason roads aren’t safe for pedestrians and thus are not safe for people who *cannot* drive, either because they are too young, too old, too poor, or otherwise car-free. You’re a car addict!
I think what’s getting me about the whole transit discourse is the viciousness with which people defend private car ownership as a reflection on their personal character. It’s you! You’re the problem!

I don’t drive; I can’t drive. I feel like a second-class citizen and this behavior enforces it!

Historian here OTD a day that will live in infamy we need to point out that the reconstruction of Japan and Germany proved to be successful after WWII but the Reconstruction of the misbegotten Confederacy was brutally overthrown. We still live with the legacy of that history in the United States.

This is why I can’t stand all the pie-in-the-sky fantasies about what a progressive president will do with unitary executive power.

The next Democratic president won’t be able to take a dump without the Supreme Court upholding a ruling by a Texas judge that presidents are no longer allowed to shit.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.
