Whenever you ponder how Trump could possibly be president, remember the old saying: “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.“

"Don't call me a dick." - Elon Musk, dick

Yes, please.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Judge Ho said NO to DOJ’s attempted corrupt dismissal of Eric Adams’ case. Usually prosecutors and criminal defendants are ADVERSARIES. But because Trump DOJ henchman Emil Bove is on defendant Adams’ side, Judge Ho appointed Paul Clement to be on the side of the American people. Points of light.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

House Republican gets angrily slammed at his own Town hall in district he won with 65% of vote because of Trump/Musk massive cuts to their services. The anger is building!!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

People need to take @malcolmnance.bsky.social much more seriously. I read his first book about this matter before the 2016 election. His predictions about Trump and this country are dark but have been on the money. Wish more people took them seriously.

“America ignored them. Now all those dire predictions are coming true: the economy is wobbly, our allies fear us because we have shown that we care for nothing but ourselves, our democracy is being pecked to death by people with the intelligence of ducks, medical research has been decimated.”

Donald Trump moves to abolish the Presidio Trust through executive order

I know how to do MY job. I have been warning about Trump’s dangerous despotism for nearly a decade and urging Congress to act to uphold the Constitution and protect Americans. So please, focus on doing YOUR job instead of telling me how to do mine.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.
