It is not so long ago that disability policy was bipartisan. I taught at the Bush School, and George H.W. Bush would talk about his pride in signing the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Every once in a while during the 2024 campaign, I'd meet parents of disabled kids who were part of Moms for Liberty or people who taught autistic kids. @slooterman.bsky.social writes how they are afraid right now as Trump targets special education staff.

Trump’s attempt to gut special education office has some conservative parents on edge

The president called the layoffs a part of cuts to “Democrat programs,” but children across the nation would be impacted.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Vance, who was a 4 year photographer, Oswald, who killed a lib President, Butler, who was approached to coup the liberal government by big business, and Mattis who resigned in protest of a President he happily signed up to serve under.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.

Sincerity is not the problem

As is inevitably the case after an election — and is especially the case after an election with an unexpected result — allies of the losing presidential candidate in 2024 looked for people to blame. O...

In general the UK monarch was simply not in charge even in the 1700s. Assent on a bill had not been withheld since 1708, they were totally beholden to parliament even then. What the Americans were really rebelling against was the UK Parliament, even as they derided King George.

His apparent confusion of "asylum" in the sense a safe place of refuge for those escaping violence with "mental asylum" for those suffering mental health crises will never fail to scandalize me

Trump: "I think the Democrats are mentally damaged. They want to take $1.5t and give it to people that invaded our country. They came into our country illegally from prisons, mental institutions, gang members. They want to give them healthcare and take it away from our citizens."

Supreme Court conservatives: You can’t use race as a factor in college admissions.

Supreme Court conservatives, also: You CAN use race to profile, target, and arrest people.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Much like the F-16 in Ukraine it was detailed to interception of cruise missiles and local defense, which isn’t as exciting sadly.

Perhaps the biggest example of this is when Rommel’s armor actually ran into a flexible defense position of M10 Wolverines and got trashed
