The kicker quotes from Prof. Jason Stanley are 🎯🎯🎯 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u...

"Russia’s long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies" From Graeme Wood www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

“The American military is so back tip of the spear warfighter lethality” Also “Lemme put on my makeup on my entire face first.”

Erich Fromm, The Heart of Man (1964)

Last night was basically what we have seen before, except this time the GOP lacks anyone willing to do anything but dutifully stand and clap like its Kim Jung Un’s birthday. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-lies...

Large amounts of ketamine can make anyone feel like they rule the world. When should Americans start worrying about Elon Musk’s regular use? @shaylalove.bsky.social reports:

"69% of Republican voters say Russia is the aggressor and 83% disapprove of Putin" www.wsj.com/opinion/most...

This made sense to me. It is a different take for sure. youtu.be/_RNE3X41IvM?...

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Don't give up - do something. A great list for civic minded Americans, from @protectdemocracy.org open.substack.com/pub/protectd...

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Convicted Criminal Sworn in as President.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

There were so many steps in the right direction. Now we must try to keep what gains we achieved.

Interesting from Pew... Republican base is largely middle and upper middle voters without college degrees. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Sometimes I ask fellow Christians what in the Bible would back up Trump… his hate and division. They bring up when Jesus showed anger and flipped the money changer tables. They miss the point, he was angry they were perverting the temple, which is what Christian MAGA is doing to the church

Well would you look at that.

The rules apply to everyone else, not his own family. 

Now, let’s see: If Trump were to shoot and kill someone on Fifth Avenue, would the headline read, “𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥 𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙨 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙙𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙣”?

Bill Clinton: "People are losing faith in the institutions and in many many places, they're gonna reward the people that destroyed their faith."

Ultrarich tech elites are becoming much more prominent in American politics—and they don't care who knows it, @alibreland.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/XTTVRPnX

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.” Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

"While Silicon Valley has always wielded influence in American politics, what's emerging now is different – a world where the interests of select technology companies become indistinguishable from US government policy" www.techpolicy.press/on-the-comin...

This is always wrong. Including when it REPEATEDLY happened to each of us who opposed Trump. Including swatting attempts to my house. Including requiring security details. None of these folks spoke up to condemn that then. Speaker Johnson was silent. Media: remember this during Sunday shows

Trumps isolationist policies risk diminishing US influence and boosting China. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/publish/post...
