I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

The Saudi government funded the 9/11 terrorists and the majority of them were Saudi. Osama Bin Laden was a Saudi. Trump wants to sell Saudis our most advanced military jets & offer USA military protection if Saudis are attacked!😡

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Re-upping my piece from yesterday on the Deputy Attorney General's "war" against federal courts—including why it's wanting for both quantitative and qualitative support; why it's especially dangerous coming from the number-two official at DOJ; and why the silence of folks on the right is deafening:
193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.
