It seems quite clearly fake to me, especially how the continually cite “perception control” or whatever

Im starting to think that’s what the PTB want to happen to give them more pretext for military intervention and martial law

Im in Asheville and saw multiple convoys leaving town, likely from the national guard armory, heading toward DC this morning. Trump denied us FEMA aid but he can afford to haul our national guard to DC for his birthday party I guess

Point of order.. he didn’t sign it but he chose not to veto it (so not a very meaningful distinction.. using Rush logic about choosing not to decide)

If it’s a dumb bill why didn’t he use his power to stop it?

I’d say it’s a matter of political expediency and cowardice than cognitive dissonance. Either way, it should be disqualifying for Cassidy as both a public official and as a doctor

And rather than stand up for the truth and for the health and safety of millions, he’s claiming to reporters that the commitment was to not change “the process” and that firing the entire board does not violate the commitment to “no changes”. Absurd.Via @yasharali.bsky.social @igorbobic.bsky.social

So saying people should “reap the whirlwind” was a criminal violent threat but calling for a sitting governor to be tarred and feathered is cool I suppose?

Love how everyone accepts , even the normally dry as fuck ‘only the facts please’ NYT, that the administration is lying in court and in public about who is in charge of DOGE

This. Newsom is effective at standing up against MAGA when he isn’t busy mysteriously playing nice with them like he has for the past few months leading up to this

Beyond that, Cassidy said specially about ACIP that RFK would make no changes.
They are all liars.

He’s lying to you. Here’s what Cassidy said in his floor speech in support of confirming RFK jr specifically about the ACIP:
comment in response to
post
He doesn’t care. He knew and knows who RFK Jr is. He’s had ample time to stand up to RFK and hasn’t. He only cares about mitigating the political fallout, but he must have figured months ago that straight up lying to the American people was easier than standing up to MAGA to protect public health

The email address for Cassidy’s senior policy staffer for healthcare is [email protected]
Cassidy’s office number is (202) 224-5824 as you said, but as of this message, they aren’t answering and the mailbox is full

I’ll never understand these posts. If we wanted Elizabeth Warren to be able to do more than sound the alarm, we should have done a better job keeping the senate majority

Yep. I’d much rather spend an hour during a road trip at a scenic lookout or local diner than a GD sheetz or Buc-ee’s

Plus Elon made it so the worst, most obnoxious people were given preferential weight in their responses. It became impossible to meaningfully interface with anyone of substance, regardless of their partisan leanings

I thought the federal government pressuring media to do things was a grave violation of free speech rights?
Is Matt Taibbi aware of this??

I wish more traditional casual sit-down restaurants had EV infrastructure. I’m surprised that hasn’t been more of a noticeable trend. Rest areas should be adding them too IMO

But it’s much easier for tom to look down his nose at these lesser people if he calls them rioters

But you’re ignoring the other side of the coin. They do produce genuinely impressive things. Hell it almost makes them seem more close to human intelligence that they make dumb errors. We went to the moon and elected trump. Twice

I am not claiming he has a magic wand but he needs to be wielding his power as governor against this clearly illegitimate federal abuse of power.
It’s his national guard. It’s being commandeered based on an illegitimate legal claim
comment in response to
post
Did you even bother reading Josh’s post? The whole point is that this incursion is so obviously pretextual and illegitimate while the Little Rock crisis was the oposite
comment in response to
post
There is no article or op-ed that will decide this. This is real power being wielded in real life. Newsom has the power to stand up to Trump and he needs to use it
comment in response to
post
Trump only has the power to nationalize the guard to terrorize LA if Newsom lets him. This is very shaky legal ground and Newsom needs to stand up for his state.
Anybody with your mindset should just take a backseat and keep quiet TBH
comment in response to

I hope Gavin Newsom is up to this. This seems like his moment
comment in response to
post
My understanding is that Trump can only nationalize the guard with the insurrection act. But they stopped short of that. So Newsom needs to find his balls and say no
comment in response to
post
Can but hasn’t in this case (legally). That would require insurrection act right? And Trump stopped short of that.
This is important stuff

This is really frightening .. has Newsom just rolled over?

I’ve been to a half dozen protests since Trump retook office. There’s lots of angry people, but it never seems to get covered that way. For my part, I will keep at it

They won in a lot of ways but no small part of that was demonstrating in the streets.
Fighting Trump in court is good and all but the power of any judge to hold Trump accountable ultimately comes from the people
