The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

This is a big deal. DC fed judge says that DOJ's pursuit (and use) of the state voter files is unlawful, on a bunch of different grounds. And effectively confirms that for the 18 states that submitted files willingly, whoever collected the files at DOJ Civil Rights committed federal crimes.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

these people would say it was "unclear" why more people in germany didnt openly identify as jewish in 1942
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

Democrats have decided, for the second election, not to respond to Musk's Nazi-like propaganda against trans people. And that will probably work this time because of gas prices. But it might not. And even if it doesn't, why would you miss this chance to expose someone who wants to destroy you?
Democrats are being hammered with a deluge of amoral capital and propaganda unlike any political party has ever faced in a midterm election.

Win or lose, James Talarico's campaign is a major threat to the GOP, especially in the long term. Many evangelicals don't even know "liberal Christian" is a possibility. He is showing that it is. And the Christian right is *freaking out*. www.salon.com/2026/09/21/j...

New from me: LAPD released video from an in-custody death that occurred in July. Jose Carlos Hoyos-Munoz appeared to be in crisis as 6 to 9 officers beat him three separate times. One officer is seen putting his knee into the back and neck of Munoz. He died 20 min later. lataco.com/lapd-beat-ha...

"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

Trump's ICE thugs will only arrest the 'worst of the worst' is going to rank right up there with the greatest political lies ever told. Shame on anyone who fell for it & those who continue to parrot that lie but the real evil is the continuing ICE assault itself. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ok, getting beyond the ridiculousness of Tom Scott shifting blame to Biden for increased inflation and cost of living, he also says the Inflation reduction Act was responsible for 9% inflation in July 2021. The IRA wasn't passed until 13 months later. Also, inflation DID cool after it was passed.
WELKER: Collins says Trump's Canada tariffs will increase costs on families. Is she right? SCOTT: Let's look back at Biden-- W: Wait. Trump has been in office for two years. Inflation was at 3% when Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now. S: Joe Biden ... W: The Biden administration is over!

A man who aided US authorities by testifying against Mexican cartels was illegally removed *three times* in recent weeks — including to Mexico, where he had protection from deportation due to threat of torture/death. A judge in MD has ordered his return. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The president is threatening to sue a think tank for $5 billion unless they retract a report stating that his National Guard deployments to American cities under the guise of fake emergencies didn't make those cities safer. It's like a Con Law exam question about executive abuse of power.

Irony alert: The Minnesota officials who charged an ICE agent for shooting a man through a door in Minneapolis and then lying about it say he may be planning to flee to Mexico and get legal residency there through a sham marriage. Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott is refusing to extradite.
How the fuck is there not automatic flag-raising internally when someone searches a plate tens let alone thousands of times? I work for a company that cares about security doing any kind of .1% behavior is enough to catch additional scrutiny.

“I know this is going to sound extremely radical, or crazy,” she recounted telling the woman, “but ICE is there at the gate, and they're looking for you."
