Remember that Republicans believe that the first spike there, caused entirely by Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is actually Joe Biden's fault while the second spike there, caused entirely by Trump's war on Iran, is also Joe Biden's fault.

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.

these people would say it was "unclear" why more people in germany didnt openly identify as jewish in 1942

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

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...

"Centrist" Democrats are conservatives. They are hijackers here to steer the party away from serving the interests of constituents and toward serving the interests of corporations and billionaires.

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...

Over on Xitter, Whiskey Pete's chief propagandist tried to rebut big WaPo story & in the process 1) confirmed the report described is real & highly classified (confirming it is itself a crime) and 2) claims that Whiskey Pete's top Generals tell him he's doing something really stupid all the time.

The official U.S. Department of Education Twitter account posted, then deleted, a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler. Captioned “No one does it like us” with a tiger emoji, the video opens with a scene from Darkest Hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger.

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!

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.
