Jerry Nadler is stepping down as ranking Dem on the Judiciary committee, clearing the way for Raskin to be top dog in that position. Jerry did some good work in his day but his age has been obviously catching up with him. Glad he's stepping aside. Raskin knows how to be a guided missile.

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social Are you familiar with "Jonathan Pie"? He's a faux newscaster who begins his videos in media res, then takes a pause, then says what he really thinks, then returns to his "legitimate" newscaster's stance as the video fades out. His latest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0n...

How utterly humiliating for the great and mighty U.S. to have allowed racism and fear to lead it to this.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

How do you link a government official to an anonymous social media account that asserts, among other things, that "America is a White nation?" Like this. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

I’m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. He’s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says he’s the final authority on all laws isn’t a goddamn distraction.

Certainly doesn’t look to me as though the end goal is cutting government spending… They’re looking to reroute $$$ to the oligarchs. Firstly, by funneling our tax dollars into tax cuts for the oligarchs. Secondly, by creating government contracts for the oligarchs by privatizing our services.

What we're witnessing is an ideologically motivated, but fairly indiscriminate and impetuous purge of virtually every facet of the US government. There is no remotely close precedent in the nation's history...and it's all being carried out under the banner of "conservatism."

"When I say #sendtheinterns I mean it literally: take a bold decision to put your most junior people in the briefing room. Recognize that the real story is elsewhere, and most likely hidden. That’s why the experienced reporters need to be taken out of the White House, and put on other assignments."

Nikola closed at .47 today after declaring bankruptcy earlier in the day. Here's the stock on June 8, 2020. Is Tesla eating into Nikola's business? I have no idea. But I hope Nikola's failure in the electric truck business isn't a portent.
