They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

Honestly, for all the talk about Canada, Panama worries me more because the military actually would do that one and he’d get away with it. I know they’re helping him out with deportations now, but Trump delights in treachery. Don’t want to see a small democracy merced by wanton aggression.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

I think this speaks to a broader problem, that the lawyers have psyoped us into thinking the Constitution is not written in plain English and that there are not records of the people who wrote the 14th amendment. That there’s some arcane knowledge required to understand what’s plainly spelled out.

Republicans are doing this because they want gay men and transgender women to contract HIV. They believe that dying of AIDS is a deserved punishment for having gay sex, just as they think that forced childbirth is a deserved punishment for sexually active women. This is not especially complicated.

American companies should understand that any non-enforcement guidance does not protect them from prosecution by this administration, and certainly does not protect them from prosecution by the next one. This is an invitation to commit crimes that will later be used for extortion against them.

It is not "efficient" to operate a hospital in a town of 3,900 people in a county of 8,500 people across 9,000 square miles. It is not "efficient" to provide emergency medical services in the most isolated national park in the Lower 48. But people's lives depend on those "inefficiencies."

Another thing: stop taking Elon at this word. IRS Direct File is still live, as is its older cousin, Free Fillable Form. Elon and Trump lie, all the time. If Elon tells you it's raining, you first instinct shouldn't be to grab an umbrella it should be to look up.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans? I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off. This is absurd.

one reason i am adamant that we should not treat the constitution as purely or exclusively a form of law is that it cedes the field to clever lawyers. “oh, well if some chuds in trump’s white house says birthright citizenship doesn’t exist then i guess it doesn’t exist.” but

it is genuinely important for democrats to turnover their membership in the senate because its culture is genuinely corrosive and change in congress can only come from members

submitted 34 days ago • 3 comments

This is both an effect and a self-perpetuating cause of the centralization of executive power. Congress has existed more or less exclusively either as a rubber stamp or a barrier (depending on its partisan makeup) for the executive's agenda for so long that it has no identity beyond those roles.

Yes. Obstruct, blame, obstruct, blame. Everything sucks, everything is his fault. A lot of Dems are far too quick to adopt awful GOP policy positions and yet refuse to learn from the GOP's successful tactics. Blame, don't help, more blame. Everything is their fault and they have no solutions.
