Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Unsurprisingly, Vance introduces himself to our allies not by extolling our shared values, but by lecturing them to embrace extremists. The mask has come off. Democracy is not the goal, authoritarianism is. When Trump steps aside, Vance will be even more dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/w...

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

Andrew "Sal" Salacinski [big sky active club, national socialist movement (less active now)]will occasionally gather a couple Nazi dumbfucks & litter Montana driveways with GDL trash.

"OptumRx, the group’s pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging, according to the findings of a report by the Federal Trade Commission." Lina Khan really is That Girl.

In this day and age, living in a place that - you like, - you can afford, - you can find a job, - you have family/friends, - you feel safe, and - you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes. So maybe don’t be an asshole.

Yep. She was blackmailed into this by the LAPPL – the union that represents the LAPD and others – who would have withheld support from her otherwise. They should also share the responsibility for decreased fire resources.
