It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Most unsettling thing about the Chair of the Joint Chiefs nominee—besides a political purge opening the spot—is not that he lacks the legal requirements. He’s not far off. It’s that Trump reportedly picked him because he said beating ISIS would be quick and easy. Feeds Trump’s delusions about force.

RFK Jr. played Bill Cassidy like a fiddle. It hasn’t even been a week and he is already breaking his promises. After saying anything to senators to get confirmed, RFK Jr. is now showing his true colors as the anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist he always has been.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

The occasional #MurdochJournal editorial or NYPost front page disagreeing with Trump is a smokescreen. Murdoch is devoted to the crowning of Trump as the dictator-king he created. This does not echo the Founders. It shouts fascism. #FührerFluffing

Very tempted to start reading the nonsensical emails Dick Durbin sent me about the hallowed importance of the Senate Parliamentarian a couple years back into every one of his voicemail boxes while I film myself making continuous jack off gestures.

A friend asked for Cornell related travel recos and I had to recommend the Sagan planet walk. It's a scale model of the solar system in Ithaca NY with Pluto 1.2 km from the sun. Then in 2012, they added Alpha Centauri, to scale. It is in Hawaii! That's how huge space is!
