We’ve seen the effects one whack job can have on a country. That much power cannot be in the hands of those that would abuse it to flex.

I’ve been saying that Democrats needed to frame this election in terms of morality. Up until now that distinction has been somewhat difficult to translate into campaign slogans But republicans went and did that work for us. They somehow managed to create the perfect argument against themselves.

The New York Times describes this as a “Republican rift over Ramaswamy’s attack ad.” But this does not fully grasp what is actually happening, because we are not witnessing a “rift,” but an abyss; A vast, yawning, gaping moral abyss in our politics. charliesykes.substack.com/p/we-stand-w...

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Rand Paul spent the weekend leaking a private diary. Today he burned a Senate hearing trying to trap the man who wrote it. Fauci called the obsession exactly what it is. Unhinged. Then he pled the Fifth and left crazy Rand with nothing on the record to twist. Manhunt: zero. Fauci: one.🔥

In the last 72 hours, Taiwan has gotten a heavy dose of the reality that Ukraine, Poland, Denmark and others have seen up close and personal. Just because you have been an ally for decades through admins of both parties, the US is not your friend as long as Trump is president.

Marie Thérèse Ross knew nothing about ICE. She was a Trump supporter who watched FOX News & was clueless about #ICELawlessness until her stepson who had fought her over the estate of her late husband, reported her & got her thrown into an ICE Torture facility. Could this happen to your loved one?

At any moment in time casinos know how much money they have - win, lose or draw - down to the penny. We can know exactly how many people voted for whom if we wanted to. The idea that we need the electoral college was started around the time Ben Franklyn flew a kite and deduced there was electricity

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.
