National security decision-making has a longer time horizon. It would be stupid for Canada, Europe, South Korea, etc. to act now based on assuming the US will be a reliable in a decade. We have shown that we are not. Many Americans still don’t appreciate how profound of a change that is.

I agree that in 2027 and 2028, Congressional investigations, funding the government, and consideration of Trump nominees can NOT be business as usual. No "reaching across the aisle", funding Trump BS, or voting for ANY Trump nominee - judicial or otherwise. Those days are definitely over. 1/

Maybe I'm biased living in a state (WA) with a functional public health system, but given the circumstances, I actually think the nation responded quite well to Covid. Made mistakes, but we'll learn from those and do better next time... assuming we're not being run by sociopaths like Trump & RFK jr.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

RANDALL: Look at this safety hazard. There's $300m in repairs needed for Olympic Park. Now look at this AI image Trump posted of draining the reflecting pool. Which do you think should be higher priority? BURGUM: We have issues all over the US R: Yes! And you prioritize Trump's vanity projects

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like. This is the stuff I truly miss.
