I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Janet Mills is a total bad ass. I love a strong Maine woman. Full support to her and everyone who has the courage to stand up to the rapist felon.

You sent us to war on a lie, cut our health benefits, and voted against every veterans bill that has hit the floor. We are the 47% you refer to as the "takers." You don't give a f*ck about us

Patel was confirmed. I wish that just once humans would not confirm my worst fears about them.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

Desperately sad to look back & remember the Mueller report was fully suppressed. Bill Barr is responsible for it! He later warned us about Orange but still didn’t release the report. ANOTHER TRAITOR. It’s all completely INCOMPREHENSIBLE… These steps in the coup & seeing them with such clarity

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Seeing calls for an economic blackout on February 28th. And then I’m seeing people recommending buying stuff the day before in order to “make it through”. No. People. That’s not how this works. Renounce whatever you would’ve bought on February 28th.

The men & women of the FBI will have a very serious choice to make in the coming days. At some point, they will all need to decide whether to uphold the rule of law or follow lawless orders. What they do from this point on will not exist in a vacuum. It will be witnessed, and it will be reconciled

Just saw someone describe RFK Jr. as the Pet Semetary version of JFK, and we may never stop laughing.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.
