Enjoy good friends, family, food, music, movies, books, hobbies, exercise, sports, and relaxation, as much as you can. This mess has no quick solution. Also, never underestimate the deviant joy of watching fools feel the pain. Hey, we have to get through this somehow, whatever it takes. No shame😉

"Mr. President, Ukraine will only ‘be Russian someday’ if the United States abandons them to Putin’s brutal invasion." -- Mike Pence, 2 Feb 2025. -- This is the timeline we live in. The most conservative Republican has to set the rebut the gaslighting about Ukraine. 🙃

We'll see if the previously rejected unitary executive theory passes muster with the current iteration of the Supreme Court. It could go either way with this Court. Independent regulatory agencies are presumed to be outside of the direct control of the president. 😕

MAGA loves the distress expressed by those who can see and do understand the sabotage and vandalism of our institutions. When you ask, "Is this what you voted for?" (a useless question), they proudly say, "Damn right!" Don't plead with them. They love your pain. That is the point.

We are witnessing the sheep cheer as the wolves slaughter the shepherds. When you post or discuss the resignations of reputable civil servants in important positions with extensive expertise, MAGA is not fazed. This carnage is exactly what they want... for now.

I'm for neither Team Red nor Team Blue. I am for Team Reason over Team Stupid. It so happens that, at the present, one team, the current Republican Party, is exhibiting a special level of inanity that poses an existential threat to the very idea of America.

I have ZERO party loyalty. However, I have a pragmatic alignment with Dems that will remain so long as it makes sense. I don't see that alignment changing anytime soon, given the current milieu. Third parties are NOT viable options without RCV or run-off elections. Full Stop.

Here are some simple steps to better distinguish fact from fiction: A helpful 🧵 1. When someone claims something is “fraud,” ask, “Can you show me proof?” 2. If you can’t ask questions directly, look for credible sources that have already asked them and see if evidence has been provided.

Health is not a zero-sum game. When any country is healthier, all countries benefit from stability, safety, and economic growth. Smallpox eradication is one of the greatest accomplishments of humanity. Global cooperation makes it possible to control—and maintain control—of deadly threats.

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

Those who thought the GOP Senate would check Trump: "So far even nominees once seen as having uncertain prospects — including...Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — have been able to marshal sufficient support from Republicans eager to fall in line with Trump's agenda."

MAGA has no reality feedback mechanism. What they FEEL is what drives their ex post facto rationalizations and "protective stupidity." Facts and logic are not as potent as one might think to these marks, as choice-supportive bias, confirmation bias, and motivated reasoning dominate such minds.

Many MAGA fans think all the pushback against the overreach of the Trump/Musk regime is from the "Deep State" (a fever dream) trying to protect its evil activities from exposure and eradication by the righteous sword of the paragon of "real America," Trump and <checks notes> Elon Musk. 🙃

The pushback against efforts to corrupt the DOJ is afoot. It should inspire similar resistance in other departments to unethical and/or illegal orders. He will eventually find someone to comply--like Roger Tawney for Andrew Jackson, and Robert Bork for Richard Nixon, but the stain will not go away.

The legacy media was quick to defend Fox in 2009 when it thought Obama was being mean. Today with the AP? Crickets. The difference is that media orgs knew they had nothing to fear from Obama, so protesting was free. Making a stink over the AP today might actually cost them something.

“ Kash Patel is a freak. And not the Rick James kind. It’s a thumbs down for crooked Kash. This is a guy who openly attacked the FBI and compromised its relationship with the intelligence community, and now he could be running the damn thing? That is just plain stupid.” — Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove
