The regime-change lunatics are back. Collapsing the Iranian regime is a really, really bad idea. I outline why in the essay below, drawing deeply on Iranian history. Please share widely if you can. We can't go down this road again. Not to mention they lives at stake. unherd.com/2025/06/the-...

The Senate Budget Reconciliation bill was changed over the weekend to authorize the selling of 258 million acres of your federal land. The first selloff must be finalized within 30 days, then every 60 days the bill would require more.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election... [ Reposted from @realdlhughley.bsky.social on Instagram ]

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

This is how you tell the truth: “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House." #FreedomToDissent

Marines are trained soldiers whose job it is to kill its enemies and who, as a matter of federal law, are completely barred from law enforcement activity. Which means that Trump either wants them on the streets of L.A. to kill people or to simply make himself look like a military strongman.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m starting to get the same feeling in my gut that I had at about 1:30 PM on January 6, 2021—like Donald Trump has incited a series of events that are intended to culminate in a coup of our democracy by the far right. This is getting very bad.

Kamala Harris in October: “[Trump] considers any American who doesn’t support him or bend to his will to be an enemy to our country, and further, he says that as commander-in-chief, he would use our military to go after them.”

Donald Trump is blowing up essential government functions in ways that may take decades to restore. This nihilism deserves a new name—nihilocracy. @normornstein.bsky.social‬ explains.

It is very telling that the juvenile catfight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk isn't a disagreement over how to make America great again. It's all about THEM. Because that is the only thing they ever really cared about--themselves.

Living in the Midwest now for almost a year and a half I’m even more aware how “unique” Texas is and Texas people are. youtu.be/NucVQO0t92o?...

Yeah, this is really really bad. And demands far more focus than the national political press will ever give it. (Even before we get to the fact that the attacks will harm the disliked states whose taxes subsidizes the favored ones.)
