The Capitol Rioters have had quite a lot to say since they received pardons from Donald Trump — most have no regrets, believe conspiracy theories, and remain loyal to Trump and the MAGA movement. I'm documenting their statements, activities, and networks at Pardon Tracker. Please consider donating:

President Donald Trump commenting on how much money his billionaire friends made when he paused tariffs, "He made $2.5 billion today, and he made $900 million" Is this corruption, insider trading, or just good timing and coincidence?

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

The Save Act is Republicans’ latest voter suppression scam. Vets can’t vote from abroad. Women who changed their names when they married can’t vote. It costs a lot to get a passport, requiring voters to have one is a poll tax. Poll taxes are illegal. Please call your MofC and tell them VOTE NO!

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting. The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

1. One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools - neoliberalism and fascism - it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task is to re-ignite our moral imaginations and name our alternatives. 🧵

Men make sacrifices many women don't for top jobs, 🐸 says When asked whether most top jobs would go to white men on merit, 🐸 said that, in many cases, women make "very different life choices" to men. Fecking clown! 🤡

“This will weaken our communities and leave us all poorer. Labour once claimed that they were for the many, not the few – it’s clear now that is this is no longer the case.” – @adrianramsay.bsky.social

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

I think that the EU need to put in place a mechanism that could be used to boot problematic members out. They have a pipeline of countries desperate to join. They don't need the aggravation of rabble-rousers like Hungary. The mere existence of such a mechanism might have a stabilisation effect.

If Labour's frontbench went and got therapy rather than acting out because the Left was mean to them during the Corbyn years, they, and the country, would be much better off.

People of Wales - don't vote Reform, you will receive the same lack of interest from Farage & Tice - they aren't interested in local people, just building a presence to get more of their rotters into Westminster to ruin it.

"There were, of course, different stages of recruitment. Typically, a case officer would invite a target to lunch. The target would be classified as an “official contact.” If the target appeared responsive, he (it was rarely she) would be promoted to a “subject of deep study,” via @politico.com

There is no movie for this. All through my life American culture has conjured up images of its own demise. But no Dr Strangelove, Fatal Impact, Manchurian Candidate et al imagined a portion of the US electorate gleefully welcoming oblivion in the arms of its enemy. There is no movie for this
