Where every separate tooth-point goes
The butterfly upon the road
Preaches contentment to that toad

After hearing such terrible news about a lovely person who was just doing what any Mother would do for her children. It seems somehow just not fitting to post anything else today.
My heart goes out to Renne Good's family.
It is all so terribly sad, and ought never to have happened!

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Very good piece by Greg Sargent. Key point: “That says something grim about Trump’s view of his own supporters. He thinks they are just as corrupt, amoral, indifferent to the fate of those killed by our military, and eager to pillage weaker countries for the spoils of conquest as he is.”
'This is already the Putin model: authoritarian rule that enables smash-and-grab oligarchy by those in the regime’s good favor. Trump is making it unusually explicit that in this sphere of influence, Trump-approved oligarchs will be enriched"

Trump Blurts Out Dark Truth About Venezuela Plan—and About MAGA Voters
To some critics, it’s about plunder. To others, it’s about hemispheric hegemony. Actually, it’s about both.

The Trump administration’s lawless attack on Senator Mark Kelly is part of a much broader project to turn the US military into a partisan militia and silence veterans who might speak out against that by threatening their pensions www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Everyone should watch Senator Mark Kelly's brutal video response to the corrupt Trump/Hegseth effort to punish him. As @leahlitman.bsky.social says on the pod: "They are saying it is illegal to encourage people to follow the law."

That Trump contacted major oil companies and his political donors about the attack on Venezuela and has not met with Congress is a matter of fact.
This is Trump's world of pure corruption for personal gain, and screw the people of the United States, much less the people of Venezuela on display.

The Trump admin is freezing ~$10B in social services & child care funding in five Dem-led states, alleging fraud, with no proof. The cuts hit TANF ($7B+), child care ($2B+), & social services ($870M) in CA, CO, IL, MN, and NY. If you want to hurt working families, this is how.
