Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

Sen. Kevin Cramer on Newsmax suggests the sexual assault allegation against Hegseth is part of a "smear campaign" and makes excuses for Pete, saying he "doesn't have experience in politics" (Hegseth in fact ran for US Senate in 2012)

what some commentators criticizing Biden for the pardon miss is that Trump & his acolytes are making it clear they would continue to go after Hunter forever - read Marcy Wheeler for a thorough analysis www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/02/a...

Strongly urged people to read this piece. Mayer is a careful and thorough investigative reporter & this piece is devastating to Hegseth

Donald Trump wants to be Silvio Berlusconi. That is, he wants to be one of the very richest men in his country. With his various grifts he is getting lots of money, But he forgets that Berlusconi eventually went to prison. Is that still possible for Trump?

rather clear Trump admin wants to have undocumented aliens considered an "invasion" not only to try to get around 14th Amendment ius soli citizenship but also as a reason for invoking the Insurrection Act, then using military to round up ann1 opposing what they are doing. Smell like fascism to u?

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

worth noting - among the fields in US heavily dependent upon a labor force that is very much undocumented are construction, meat-packing, agricultural field work (where hand picking is important, eg fruits etc), and gardening.

Bullshit. If I had wanted power, I would have kept my mouth shut. I preferred my conscience.
