Conley: The stakes are too high—failure is not an option. And yet, we don’t have serious people taking this stuff on. This is the moment where we should be showing the world that America is a superpower. Instead, we’re showing them it’s amateur hour. And the American people deserve better.

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

NPR's new lawsuit is a powerhouse, identifying multiple, independent ways the Trump administration violated the Constitution in order to take revenge on public media. Bottom line? This administration is scared of the truth & this lawsuit reveals that weakness. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Emily Bove is going to be a Judge because a few Democrats refused to support Biden’s pick, Justice Mangi, simply because he's a Muslim and was smeared by the right-wing and some pro Israel hawks. Congrats, America.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

The woonerf or “living street” concept is spreading from the Netherlands across Poland, including the town of Sopot, just outside Gdańsk. Privileging pedestrians and calming traffic to 20 km/hr, the name and elements are retained—removing the curb and adding texture, greenery, seating, and lighting.

Trump calls it a “gift to America.” I call it what it is: a $400 million bribe disguised as a jet, that he keeps. Paid for by Qatar and US taxpayers, owned by Trump. Corruption at 35,000 feet: youtu.be/hcqUvvy01UM
