I remember Watergate. I was just a kid, but...I was a news freak even then. I watched Cronkite every night with my parents. Compared to this...the '70s weren't jack sh*t; I have very fond memories of life in America then. 2025 is equal to winning a sack full of assholes and a poke in the eye.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

So today, the Supreme Court told the President of the United States that he can't "accidentally" send people to an overseas prison and just leave them there. I want you to think about what has to happen for us to get to this point.

Historian here posting for no reason at all. U.S. Constitution, Article II Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
