This is a lie

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

No one could’ve predicted that a candidate who threatened journalists and spoke of jailing protesters would turn out to be an enemy of free speech.

A friend points out that there were 10 House Democrats who voted to censure Al Green to go with 10 Senate Democrats who backed Trump and DOGE—nice round numbers for a campaign for change.

Five of the 10 twits who voted to censure Al Green. Chrissy Houlahan (PA 6th) - houlahan.house.gov Marcy Kaptur (OH 9th) - kaptur.house.gov Jared Moskowitz (FL 23rd) - moskowitz.house.gov Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA 3rd) - gluesenkampperez.house.gov Thomas R. Suozzi (NY 3rd) - suozzi.house.gov

Five of the 10 twits who voted to censure Al Green. Democrats never, ever learn how to fight. Ami Bera (CA 6th) - bera.house.gov Ed Case (Hawaii 1st) - case.house.gov Jim Costa (CA 21st) - costa.house.gov Laura Gillen (NY 4th) - gillen.house.gov James A. Himes (CT 4th) - himes.house.gov

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Democracy dies in primer… #bezos

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

“It is so disrespectful for Zelenskyy to not wear a suit in the White House.”

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

DISGRACEFUL. DISGUSTING. DISREPUTABLE. DISRESPECTFUL. DEPLORABLE. DISHEARTENING.

White woman in peril above the fold.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

I haven't ordered from Amazon since before the election. Today, I canceled my account. No Bezos! No @wholefoods.bsky.social No Amazon No Good Reads No @washingtonpost.com

You first.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.* So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?
