"When the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer. You want a CRIMINAL lawyer." — Jesse Pinkman

I know many of you still have so many unanswered questions and want to talk about your concerns about what’s happening in D.C. That’s why I’m holding a Town Hall in Albuquerque on Thursday! Please join us!

Let me get this straight - now that people see what’s really going on - Elon Musk is suddenly not part of DOGE. 🤔 This is the problem with unchecked power and billionaires in charge.

Now available on Bandcamp, a remastered, ultra-deluxe reissue of "Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death", the first salvo in Firesign's "We're Doomed" trilogy for Rhino in 1998. Bonus tracks! Fully restored audio! A PDF with too much in it! And CHEAP! firesigntheatre.bandcamp.com/album/give-m...

Jesus christ, was I giving him ideas?

Remember the good ol' days of Rick "Department of Oops" Perry and Michael "Heckuva Job" Brownie? Now we know what it takes to make those bozos look brilliant.

Be nice if Congress stood up for a change, if only to rub a little Neosporin in those rug burns at the knees and elbows.

Ok that made me laugh

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

To all impacted by this week’s reckless mass-terminations, a class action suit has been filed to stop unlawful terminations. We stand with our federal workers and are fighting back! ✊ democracyforward.org/updates/fede...

This is a good idea. A daily Democratic press conference with a consistent, skilled spokesperson who covers two things: 1. What DOGE and the Trump administration did to the American people today 2. What Democrats are doing in response

Stuck for a Valentine's Day gift? How about taking these DOGEbags dry-humping the Statue of Liberty, packing them into a Starship, and deporting them to Mars? The Mars H.G. Wells imagined. See how they like "intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic" drawing plans against them. I know I'd love it.

I see the new guy's getting started over at Health and Human Services. youtu.be/edIi6hYpUoQ?...

Oh, shut the fuck up. I mean, seriously. As the fire raged going into last November's pestilential erection you wankers were just standing there holding your hoses. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

Vice chair is Caligula's horse

Tedious to keep pointing this out, but: 1) Trump did NOT get "majority" of vote. (49+%, to KH 48+%). Biden 2020, Obama both times, GWB 2004 most recent w *majority*. 2) Carried House w smallest margin in modern times. 3) He flatly denied even knowing what Proj 2025 was. No Proj2025 'mandate'

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

If you're in district w/ GOP rep, *call or write*—202-224-3121 main Capitol #, but just go to individ web site—and say you want your elected rep to stand up for *Congress* as co-equal branch, to determine spending, etc They take this seriously. (For each person who calls, 10x are thinking that.)

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f... Sri Lanka blames a monkey for a crippling "imbalance in the power system." We've got one of those too. Condolences, and better luck in your next elections.

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

"Damned paparazzi. ..."

My birdseed dealer (yeah, that's how I roll now) and I are of a certain age, fond of arcana like country-hippie music and Firesign Theatre. He reminded me of this album today and as Stoned Age relics it took us like 10 minutes to recall the band's name and who was in it. youtu.be/VnN8TOH2Hso?...

Oh, jeez, another hideous day in New Mexico. Don't ever move here. Leave us to burn in our hellscape of crime and green chile.

I burned a lot of daylight watching "Star Trek." At one point in college we could catch it twice a day, and did. We held contests to see who could "Name That Episode" the quickest, and it's scary how many times I won. Foot through the floorboard, Mister Sulu, we got places to go, people to see.
