Her first bill is to address a problem that doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, there’s 5-alarm fires everywhere around them. Dems in a nutshell.

Here's a real "national emergency": College kids won't, and often can't, read a book from cover to cover. The rise of what one prof calls "functional illiteracy" in the iPhone Age is happening right when our imploding democracy needs critical thinkers My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/stud...

April 15, 2019 was a big day of Tea Party protests in roughly 750 locations across the country. At most places the turnout was a few hundred people. In contrast, there were 1400 Hands Off protests last weekend with total attendance estimated at 2-5 million. www.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/u...

If I had a billion dollars, I’d like to think I’d be above sucking up to anyone. Or do anything. Because I have a billion f’ing dollars

Like the meme says, you can't lose an election if nobody can vote. With TX disenfranchising a Dem House district, and a coup over an NC judicial race, GOP strategy for coping with Trump's shrinking presidency hinges on voter suppression My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

THE SUPREME COURT’S TdA OPINION IS TERRIFYING. Not because it’s wrong, although it is, but because of how comfortable the Court seems in abusing authority to get to what it must see as an institutionally desirable outcome. 1/

Remember when top Trump officials used an unsecured app, Signal, to share confidential military plans & then lied about it and they continue to expose our national security to potential foreign countries and enemies by using unsecure communications and most of them still have their jobs? Fun times.

I keep thinking back to the anecdote in Heather McGhee’s book, The Sum of Us, that white people would rather shut down and drain a public pool than share it with black people

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Nobody should travel to the US while ICE goons are on the rampage with impunity. Whatever rights you think you have, forget it.

More disturbing stories about the detention centres. Among them, there was a couple in Canada taking selfies at the Peace Arch border. They accidentally strayed across the boundary and were taken into custody.

This is how the tea party BS happened. Because people were sick of Congressman Milquetoast and said gimme the craziest angry asshole. Well it’s only a matter of time before liberals do the same. And it’ll be because of shit like this and Schumer

Of course he didn’t choose the complex formula. All of trump’s policies can be distilled down to the principle that it has to be so simple even a caveman (himself) can do it

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

He's going to drop all of these tariffs in a couple months, and then he's going to declare victory and trumpet the fact that the DOW went up 1000 points, and I literally fucking beg the media not to just print that as news without context both in headlines and column inches
