Pretty sure this is exactly what people wanted when they chose Trump, right?

Whole lotta people are going to disappoint us as they let their fear get the best of them and submit to Trump and the mob. So it's good that people such as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who had the courage to call the monsters out to their faces, exist. May we all find her courage when called upon.

Whoopsies. Also, classic non-apology. No acknowledgement of harm. No accountability. No intent to do better. Acting as if being good at sports is separate from being a good person.

When Republicans last handed Democrats control of the Senate, Mitch McConnell filibustered the organizing resolution, freezing the ousted GOP’s control of committees, until Dems agreed to some of his procedural demands. Just sayin.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

"The capital gains tax won in 32 of 39 counties, including places in Eastern Washington that voted more than 70% for Donald Trump." The WA GOP and their multi-millionaire backers lost big trying to buy themselves a tax cut at the expense of our kids..

Definitely something we should prioritize. CEOs simply cannot have enough state-sponsored protection from the people they screw over. Glad to see NY taking pro-active steps to protect the broligarchy.

In the landmark NYT v Sullivan case, segregationists used defamation litigation to intimidate both the Civil Rights movement and the journalists covering it.The coercion scheme failed because both the Times and the federal courts pushed back. That is not happening now.
