The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

A mylar balloon landed behind us so we turned around to fetch it. Mylar balloons take hundreds of years to decompose and pose a threat to marine animals through entanglement and ingestion.
Happy graduation.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.
This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.
