Lyn Redwood keeps going on and on about thimerosal and autism. There is no reliable evidence showing this association. She is driven by her anti-vax agenda and not data.

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Remember, Israel has the best military intelligence, yet started a war knowing they don't have the ability to destroy the most important target (Iran's nuclear facilities). That wasn't a massive oversight. The goal is to drag the US into the war.

I’m thinking about how little patience police have when they knock on your door, and also the innocent people murdered by police with no-knock warrants. (2/2)

I just saw a Minnesota high-ranking police official respond to a reporter’s question about what people can do when someone knocks on their door and says, “Police! Open up.” He said to call 911, and they will connect to the dispatcher, who will contact the officer at the door and verify. (1/2)

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

A Muzak-y version of “Fortunate Son” was played at someone’s birthday party parade, and I can’t tell if it was indicative of the administration’s incompetence, or evidence of a subversive element within; but I’d like to think it’s both.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.
