Ultimately, denying women the right to vote or even voice a differing opinion is nothing new among Christian patriarchs. Their churches treat disempowering women as foundational theology.

Fellow journalists: please stop describing Trump/Musk law-breaking or overturning of democratic norms as “unusual.”Pizza with sushi is “unusual.” These actions are “likely illegal” or “autocratic.”

You know how you get that feeling when you're walking in an area that's abandoned and dark and your instincts kick in that something's fucked up and you need to get the hell out of there before the terrible thing happens and you're supposed to listen to that? That's how I feel living in the US now.

Murphy: "Let's be clear about why he wants these mineral rights. This is just about the billionaires that he serves that can make a ton of money in Ukraine if they are taking those minerals out of the ground and selling them globally for a profit. It's consistent with the way that Trump operates."

It’s becoming very clear that the Trump Admin never had any interest in serving as an honest broker to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan was always to join Russia and others in plundering the Ukrainian economy like a 17th century colonizer.

Again, giving Putin even an inch of land or power in Ukraine would be a complete betrayal of American values by Trump.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

I just finished up a security clearance hearing trying to save the clearance of a client and I find … this…. If you’re a clearance holder, stay away from the DOGE site. These ignorant virgins are going to find themselves prosecuted for violating the Espionage Act before all is said and done.

You should ask yourself why the GOP wants to impeach judges who rule against them but not Clarence Thomas, who failed to report millions of dollars in bribes, erm, “gifts” on his financial disclosures.

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

Just thinking a lot about how Democrats responded to public pressure by attempting to go into federal buildings and giving up immediately when stopped by security and how apt of a metaphor that is. Imagine if they had pushed back. Gotten detained, thrown out, arrested. These are choices.

Jeffries on GOP "bait & switch": "Part 1, talk about lowering the high cost of living but do nothing about it. Part 2, enact massive tax cuts for billionaires that will do nothing to improve the quality of life of everyday Americans. Part 3, stick working Americans with the bill for those tax cuts"

No, it will not do any of that, because it won’t pass and you’re well aware of that simple obvious fact. A lawless coup is under way and Democrats are still trying to play by the rules. Rules that no longer mean shit.

As a Kansan, I’m usually embarrassed by our politics, so it’s amazing to see our Republican congress speaking out against the fuhrer and his goons. $566M in US grown food is rotting in warehouses around the world. If USAID isn’t purchasing that food, who will these farmers sell their crops to?
