I prefer Secretaries of Defense who can learn from their FIRST embarrassing scandal not to share sensitive info over Signal with their wife and relatives. The bar doesn't get much lower.

Samuel Alito does not deserved to be called a “justice.” Nothing he does has any relation to fair and equitable treatment of people, regardless of their class or standing. Call him what he is - a religious zealot intent on imposing theocratic rule.

It’s #EarthDay — but some folks still treat our planet like it’s disposable. Let’s be real: Black and Brown communities feel the impact of environmental neglect first and worst. I’m fighting for clean air, safe water, and a livable future for all of us.

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel themselves oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons. DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

Who do you blame for the war? Trump: “Joe Biden” Why is Russia murdering children? Trump: Biden Why won’t you deliver Patriot systems? Trump: Biden Why won’t Russia agree to a ceasefire? Trump: Biden Why can’t you easily broker a peace deal like you promised? Trump: Biden

If DEI is why we lost, then I'm not ashamed we lost. I'm ashamed they won. I'm not going to throw marginalized people under the bus to "win." If that happens, it doesn't matter who wins. We don't "win" by becoming them.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

I think this bears writing plainly: the reason all of these government officials and law enforcement agents are willing to break the law as plainly and unrepentantly as they are is because of pardons. They expect to be pardoned. We expect them to be pardoned. There is no law today. Only power.
