None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

My plan once it's clear that everything is irrevocably over is just to huddle at home and try to get through as many of the unread books I own as possible before the bombs start falling.

whether or not you’re a fan of zelensky, the usa trying to force an election in a foreign democracy during wartime–when it can’t be held safely and securely–against most ukrainians’ wishes (including much of zelensky’s opposition) and in violation of the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

From me: After Trump broke Tarrio out of prison, Tarrio said: “Success is going to be retribution. We have to ensure the next four years set us up for the next 100 years." Tarrio and Trump are on the same page. The retribution agenda is about entrenchment. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-par...

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of Trump voters are glad to abandon Europe and democracy to side with Russia and authoritarianism.

Rebecca Fisher - “He hates the people round him, he hates his fellow countrymen, because he hates the real world, which he knows through the testimony of his senses. His power of fantasy enables him to build any country which is the declared fatherland into an ideal and beloved world.”

Pam Bondi… on February 10, five days into her already ghastly tenure, she committed an act so electrically sleazy that in a normally ordered world, she’d be forced from office immediately. open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...

A good question for the MAGA evangelicals is: will you or will you not follow him to hell, behind him but at the head of his legions? Cause he’s going to bring it down to that. That has been plain, for those with eyes, since “Lock her up” and confirmed since “Only I can fix it.”
