Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising. It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

If Trump said he was reinstituting chattel slavery these guys would write an op ed explaining why the 13 amendment allows it. The entire conservative legal movement is nothing but stooping lickspittles bsky.app/profile/anth...

Looking forward to more deep insights from Politico. "Wait, there were two presidents named Roosevelt?" "Not many people know that RFK Jr isn't the first in his family to enter politics." "His name was Lincoln? Really? Like the tunnel?"

At what point do the passengers in the back of the plane realize it has been hijacked and is now hurtling toward a mountainside? At what point do they realize that unless they act now they will never again have the chance to do so?

if journalism is supposed to be one of the institutions that safeguards a free society then journalists should be opponents of autocratic takeovers, brian.

You know, the rest of the White House Press Corps could collectively decide to not attend briefings, pressers, or pools until their AP colleagues are reinstated with access, but that would take a modicum of courage and integrity in this moment, wouldn't it?

Democrat Ken Jenkins won this special election for county exec over a Trump-endorsed Republican who was bent on deep-sixing the county's sanctuary status and backing the Trump agenda. And he won it big--bigger than expected. Hold onto that as a sign of what Democrats can do when they stick together.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

CNN thinks we might be in a "Constitutional Crisis" leading to the "breakdown of the US government." I'd say that's a fair read. NYT has a story on it if you scroll far enough down the page. Maybe democracy dies in light when not enough people care. Well, I care.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
