The @washingtonpost.com is now no more than a tabloid. Absolute tripe from the editorial board here.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

Okay, looking for a doomscrolling distraction, I think it’s time to knit again. Now I have to find scarf, or hat seekers, cause I’m knitting my way through this

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

Also we made the same mistake in the civil war as in WW1, no aid to the defeated parties, reconstruction ended too soon after the civil war and was replaced by slavery 2.0. After WW2 we learned our lesson and built a more stable world order which trump is busily ripping apart

This is the crux of the effectiveness of their bullshit fear mongering, the accusation that someone these people think of as 'less' or not deserving will have something they don't.

It requires a certain level of ignorance, and maga gives them that in droves.

I have a history degree including American History, the first thing I learned when talking to Americans when I first visited in 2002 and many times since, is that the Civil War never ended, it just went underground. Trump has allowed it to come out of the basements of America, it’s back and deadly.

Very similar to the time between WW1 and 2, an uneasy peace, an armistice, which doesn’t technically mean it’s over

No this is a dictatorship trying to intimidate citizens. This what the British crown did before the American Revolution. This is what drove America to fight for their freedom! This is a dictator trying to over run a country

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."
