Venn diagrams are so easy to understand that even the dimmest Republican might be able to draw some conclusions from this one.
Who knows? There may still be a dozen or so out there that give a rats butt about corruption.
Yeah, don’t worry. I’m not holding my breath either.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Trump is speaking at a conference tomorrow whose attendees are promoting the “Third Term Project,” which calls to override the Constitution to let Trump hold onto power.
Their signage depicts Trump as Julius Ceasar, who declared himself “dictator for life.”

Trump's latest executive order puts independent agencies — including the FTC, SEC, and NLRB — under his direct control.
It's a blatant attempt to shield his corporate donors and his own business from agencies that hold the powerful accountable.
This is an alarming power-grab.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

A must-read. I've heard bits and pieces of these things on the news over the years, but I didn't really understand what was happening from news snippets. HCR explains it in a way that's clear. And terrifying.
