This makes a lot of sense, and it's convinced me to cut Governor Whitmer some slack.

"They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity, and hate." - Max Brooks, "World War Z" Real life imitates art.

Agreed - if you're Democrat and you voted for this, you need to be primaried/defeated. If you're a Republican, like Jen Kiggans or Rob Wittman, who voted for this, you need to be defeated in November 2026! bluevirginia.us/2025/04/frid... h/t @thomaszimmer.bsky.social

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

I'm increasingly seeing ICE do the same things US troops did in the early stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom: overly aggressive raids based on flimsy intelligence, with few avenues for restitution for anyone wrongly targeted. www.fox5dc.com/news/watch-i...

I'd bet that, on a gut level, EVERY American understands this. But. . . 30% of the country is cheering for it. And the remaining 70% is reacting 1 of 2 ways: 1) Speaking out against it 2) Shutting up and pretending it's not happening - so THEY won't get picked off someday

Reminder that Greg Abbott is holding Houston’s congressional seat hostage (wouldn’t set the date for a special election, finally did, but not until November to fill TX-18) because he doesn’t like that they will elect a Democrat to the House.

Let's not forget about the figurative bomb-throwers at Fox News and their clones. For years, they radicalized their viewers by making them resent and distrust the other 70% of the country, without any regard for where this course of action would ultimately lead.

Trump's 10 percent "baseline" tariffs will have no impact except to jack up prices for Americans. They give us no negotiating leverage. They will not move 1 single manufacturer job to America. Trump's tariff gambit is one of the great blunders in American economic policy history.

It's National Public Health Week, the saddest one in memory. We have lost a generation of scientists and public servants, whose institutional memory and works in progress will be lost to our nation with their abrupt dismissals www.bmj.com/content/389/...
