As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like Donald Trump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums.
America is over it.
No more sending our sons & daughters to fight for oil.

Never forget: Donald Trump is an illegal president, constitutionally disqualified for the deadly insurrection he incited 5 years ago today.
One year ago Congress failed our nation by certifying his election in violation of 14.3.
This is all on them.
Start making amends: IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE.

Following the Trump administration’s last-minute order to a Colorado coal plant to postpone its scheduled retirement, the electricity provider that co-owns the plant is warning that the high costs of continuing to operate it will be shouldered by Colorado utility customers.

I agree with Never Trumpers on a lot, but split hard on this: I do not think the Democratic Party needs to convince swing voters that Democratic candidates aren't too liberal. I think the party needs to convince swing voters that they themselves are actually quite liberal. They just won't admit it.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The voters can impose age limits by not voting for candidates who are over 70. Looking at you, Senator Hickenlooper.
After spending the Thanksgiving holiday with several relatives in their 80s, I’m more convinced than ever that we need age limits for ALL presidents, members of congress, and judges. It needs to be 70. Period. After watching my parents try to split the check and get a group photo taken…holy shit

Lettuce pray for him
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This is the sort of thing people needed to be saying in 2020. Really, in 2017 after the Gorsuch seat stealing shanda. But better late than never.
Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.
