I’m sure Trump will condemn this publicly in the strongest possible terms, and demand that Putin stop the senseless killing and indiscriminate bombing by Russians of civilian targets.

Combat bird flu by keeping chickens. It's the last thing the flu will expect. Truly this woman is the General MacArthur of Cabinet secretaries.

The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him. And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office. But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

With all due respect to @gene4va.bsky.social, Let's make this more clear. Trump has fired the people who treated an armed attack on Congress as a crime BECAUSE they treated it as a crime. No member of Congress should defend terrorist attacks on themselves.

One down: NY Court if Appeals refuses to delay Trump’s sentencing. Now it’s up to SCOTUS. (Justice Alito should play no role given his call with Trump but almost certainly will.) www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Reupping, bc a number of journalists are making statements that Biden on Hunter's pardon sounds like Trump. What they are ACTUALLY saying, tho, is they dick pic sniffed their way thru the Hunter Biden prosecution and now claim impotence in assessing it. www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/02/a...

I’m about to lecture on Watergate and I feel, for the first time, that I have to explain to students why it was such a scandal. “No, people thought the president wasn’t a king. Even Republicans! Honest!”

Reup: After I noted that 5 GOP Senators have suggested Trump's appointees should get FBI background checks, a bunch of people said, "They need to demand them." My response? Make them. Get on the phone now. www.emptywheel.net/2024/11/27/o...

New York, this is a big one. @agounardes.bsky.social has introduced a bill called NY For All that "would prohibit local law enforcement from colluding with ICE." Please call your state senators and assembly members and tell them to support the NY For All bill! nysfocus.com/2024/11/12/n...

Your periodical reminder that people who blame Merrick Garland for John Roberts' and Mitch McConnell's actions are just doing propaganda for Republicans, and will never focus on the right targets.
