Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House (sort of). If the government shuts down it is 100% on them. Ignore the any media that claims otherwise.

If you won’t negotiate with Democrats or talk to them about the CR, you can’t complain when they won’t vote for it. It’s really that simple.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

I am not a violent person by any means, but every time I hear Mike Johnson speak (AKA lie) in that smug, smarmy tone, I wanna smack the crap out of him. This is the GOP’s doing, not the Democrats!

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

A Nazi sympathizer with suspect ties to Russia bought himself a President. And for some reason, that President decided to reverse 60 years of security to capitulate to Russia. Does that describe it?

If you make a campaign promise as specific as you will "immediately bring prices down, starting on day one," then I don't want to hear any shit excuses about why you're not doing it. I don't care that it's "only" been 45 days. You said starting ON DAY ONE, motherfucker.

As diligently as Trump is implementing every facet of Project 2025, there's some fine print he might have glossed over. Once it's all in place, they don't need him anymore. A compliant Vance waits in the wings, prepped by Musk/Thiel and ready to complete the transition to an oligarchy.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
