To be precise, 3 in House + 20 Sen. Less than two dozen people. I don't want to hear "but they won't." That is surrendering in advance loser talk and lets them off the hook. They have agency. Refusing makes them cowards and traitors and they should feel every last bit of all the pressure that means.
reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

I’ve harped on this for years but the reason there’s a seemingly (or at least relatively) “low” amount of corruption in US politics is because we’ve legalized all of it.
The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

I took my friend to Yale and we decided to get a bite. We asked a student what was open and she said to try the Buttery or GHeav. I looked at my friend and her face had frozen up. I asked if she wanted to go somewhere else and she said yes. We went to Brown.
Yale is launching a new Presidential Senior Fellowship to expand access to the transformative work of universities. As part of this program, author and columnist David Brooks will join the Jackson School of Global Affairs starting February 1.

A reminder — there are *millions* of social sites on the internet, like Storygraph for your reading and Ravelry for your knitting, etc. It’s only the biggest, run by the extremist fascists, that do these terrible things. Don’t define the internet by a handful of apps run by 5 sociopaths.

I have no doubt that right now a young girl, who came here legally, who was made illegal by the Trump Regime, is writing in her diary about hiding from ICE. Never forgetting means understanding not just how the Holocaust ended, but how it started, how it was nurtured, and how to prevent another one.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
