It’s like the first time a nuclear physicist saw a quark.

Amy McGrath is everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party. As a political artist I deal in visual metaphors. As a trial lawyer in verbal metaphors. The nearly physically impossible microscopically exact match of what is wrong with the Democratic Party and what is wrong with her paralyzes me.

An awful lot of people who struggle themselves with the English language are complaining loudly and often ungrammatically about Bad Bunny not performing in English at the Super Bowl.

Hi, Pete Hegseth. It’s me. Army veteran, Judge Advocate lawyer, and law professor. Your vain and gross performance to our nation’s military leaders succeeded only in proving your incompetence, dangerousness, and childishness. You’re a petty spoiled 7th grade boy without the sophistication or class.

Mitch McConnell is singularly responsible for the shape we’re in. I won’t mourn his death when it comes. He used his nearly unprecedented power for his own interests and not the country’s. However, he most assuredly did have that power. The race for his seat, on the other hand, is simply pathetic.

Former prosecutor here: The Indictment of James Comey is the unethical and unprecedented act of a corrupt, unqualified, and immoral stooge doing the bidding of an authoritarian criminal. Period. Any discussion suggesting there’s “more to this” or “let’s wait and see” is complicity and surrender.

Written and published over a year ago. People ask “what can we do?” Their strategy is to silence us all by demanding the firing of a few. They can’t fire everyone. They won’t fire everyone. It is is the obligation of those who can speak to do so.

Ceaselessly.

Hate speech is protected by the Constitution. Even if you hate it.

To everyone for the past 10 years who said “it isn’t really that bad” and “our institutions will protect us” and “our better natures will prevail”:

You were wrong then. You are wrong now. And here we are, perhaps past the point of no return for a long, long time.

Forgive me when I ignore you now

Any candid assessment of the Supreme Court must now conclude that it doesn’t serve the Constitution, or the people, or justice. It exists solely to serve Donald Trump and to enable and embolden American Fascism.
