Former Israeli amb Isaac Herzog: "God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was POTUS during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,”

The Bouie thesis that a huge number of Trump voters simply project whatever they want onto him is basically a scientific law at this point.

not to spoil anything now, but a thing thats gonna happen is the DOGE guys and other Trump goons are gonna bury themselves inside the federal gov't, especially at GSA, treasury payments system and other internal machinery, and courts will slow-walk attempts to remove them, probably for years

This reminds me of a time like 20 years ago. I was on the indigent defense panel and I got the client acquitted at trial. Judge was mad. Took his chambers 10 days to process the paperwork to release the client.

if you had a vote in the US Senate, would you use it to give corrupt and disgraced former Senator David Perdue an important job in this corrupt and disgraceful administration? Would that be a difficult decision for you to make, or a very easy one?

A very frustrating thing with the executive orders is they are deliberately vague and filled with euphemisms, a big pile of mushy "you know what I mean" with few concrete specifics. But we know they do in fact know what he means, and then go act on it regardless of what the order strictly says.

Impeachment shouldn't be a priority in 2027, it should be a priority now because it is literally the only thing Congress can do that matters anymore.

This one of those things where Democrats are not yet nearly radicalized enough, but the reconstruction agenda must include burning immigration law as we've known it to the ground and salting the earth. The status quo ante already treated it as a special Constitution-free zone and that won't do.

Not sure if anyone else has posted this yet, but this note is the sole "evidence" that the Trump admin submitted in court to argue that the mother agreed to take her 2-year-old U.S. citizen daughter with her to Honduras. She wasn't allowed to talk to a lawyer first. Seriously, it's just this note.

The transphobe position being expressed here is that autism sometimes causes people to falsely believe they are trans and that it's impossible to be both trans and autistic. This is of course false and is just another excuse to assert state dominance over trans lives.

Here's a map of how the far-right People's Party of Canada performed in the 2021 federal election. The insurgent party took 5% of the vote (but didn't win any seats), but aren't going to repeat that this year, given that the Conservatives have taken most of their vote.
