No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump’s appeasement of Putin is a disgraceful surrender to Russia, an outright betrayal of Ukraine, and a stark warning to the world that America under Trump is no longer the defender of democracy but a willing collaborator with a terrorist state. My latest...

The Trump Administration is breaking the law. Period. Never stop showing this. They are not “implementing unpopular policies” or “auditing the government.” They are breaking the law and ignoring the courts.

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.

One thing about Marko Elez resigning is that he’s the guy who supposedly did all the work with the Treasury payment system. Tom Krause has access, too, but in a supervisory role. And w/ Elez gone, judge’s order would prohibit hiring a new DOGE-aligned “special government employee” to access system.
