"It's shocking to me that Democratic leaders seem to be indicating that they are not going to put up a fight. This is the only opportunity they have in the next six to eight months where their votes are needed, where Republicans need to come to Democrats hat in hand for their participation."

These self-identified Jesus-followers are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families torn apart, lives violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school and at work and at church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Republicans promised immediate relief from inflation—and they've done nothing about it. They've broken the most important promise they made to the American people. They can't keep blaming Biden. They're in charge, and they own this crisis.

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

DOGE laying off dedicated employees at a time when the U.S. economy leads the world feels similar to corporations raking in billions from stock buybacks while slashing jobs. It’s the same sleazy corporate playbook—now creeping into our government.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

U. S. District Court Judge Dale Ho will hold a hearing tomorrow on whether dropping the federal prosecution of NYC’s corrupt mayor is in the “public interest.” It isn’t. Deference to DOJ is required. Abdication of judgment isn’t. If ever there was a case in which the judge should say no, it’s this.

Martin OMalley, Social Security Admonistrator under the Biden administration, "the workforce at the Social Security Administration is at a 50 year low because of House Republicans. The thing that will break Social Security is having less people work there. They take their jobs very seriously.
