We gotta improves basic civics education in this country. And maybe some more basic ConLaw for some of our lawyers and judges, too? I'm a government attorney and I would never file a complaint or motion seeking such blatant suppression of free speech. I took an oath, after all.

"Where is the King of America?' Thomas Paine had an answer in 1776 in "Common Sense." And it IS common sense. In America, the LAW is King. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bjj...

Holy shit. Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, has proof suggesting Kash Patel may have LIED under oath when he said he did not know Stew Peters, a right wing extremist who worked with prominent Neo Nazis. See below: Vote NO on Kash Patel!

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

Imagine if Barack Obama or Joe Biden said they were above the law. Imagine if Obama or Biden were pocketing tens of millions of dollars while they were in office. Imagine if Obama or Biden pardoned people who violently attacked the Capitol to prevent a Republican from taking office.

There are great people in Government who believe in this country and the concept of a true Republican Democracy where NO ONE is above the law. We need to start putting them into positions of real power.

DOGE is trying to override the laws passed by Congress by hacking the nation’s checkbook and canceling the spending they don’t like. No member of civil society should tolerate this, and we all have a moral obligation to call this truly authoritarian effort what it is. www.epi.org/press/elon-m...

I genuinely hate how Fox does their NFL shows. Six dudes just milling around with mics and random comments on the game. I could go to the Elks lodge for that. Six is too many people. Period.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by three separate yet equally important groups: the president who investigates crime, the president who prosecutes the offenders, and the president who executes the guilty. These are the stories of Judge President
