Astonishing! During this morning's king tide, Miami crossed the threshold for "Major" flooding without a hurricane for the first time. This was the city's highest water level in 11 years, and 3rd-highest since 1994. Yellow highlights: 8 of 14 top spots are from king tides during the past 2 years.
I agree, but I must admit that I wonder if the Republican Party can ever be that sort of reasonable, pro-democracy conservative party again.
The upcoming generation of Republicans really only knows Trump. No policy chops. Just transgressive bigotries as political theater.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia?
Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right.
Don't appease.
Don't triangulate.
Don't grovel.
Don't say they have "legitimate concerns".
Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Again MAGA as a political movement must be DESTROYED. MAGA is an openly white supremacist movement that is fueled by cruelty and hate. They reject democracy and gave us the Jan 6 attack. It is the greatest threat to our democracy! Our Republic can NOT co-exist with MAGA!
RFK Jr goes full white supremacist in supporting GOP's Mike Rogers for Senate saying "Arabs Don’t Produce Literature,’ Only ‘Hatred’ and ‘War." Of course that is BS. BUT key is RFK said this in Michigan to help Rogers--will media call on Rogers to denounce it?! www.mediaite.com/politics/rfk...
Whenever you read trans rights are an issue, remember where it started. Who fueled the hatred. Far right Catholic Nationalists. Evangelicals piled on, as infantry does, but it was Leonard Leo Catholics generals, w below the belt politics, who created the issue.

British prosecutors on Tuesday charged two men with assisting a foreign intelligence service under the National Security Act, in the first charges brought over the September 27 incident at RAF Fairford. Counter Terrorism Policing indicated that the country involved was Iran.
“He’s not even an American.”
“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims.”
“He doesn’t have a birth certificate.”
“Perhaps it would be that where it says religion, it might have Muslim.”
Sound familiar to what Trump and Republicans are saying about Abdul El-Sayed right now?
RFK Jr goes full white supremacist in supporting GOP's Mike Rogers for Senate saying "Arabs Don’t Produce Literature,’ Only ‘Hatred’ and ‘War." Trump and MAGA's closing argument is pure HATE. MAGA is a hate group And it must be treated as such! www.mediaite.com/politics/rfk...
Latest piece. If the Dems take control of Congress, the first investigation (after corruption) has to be about the use of AI in US warfare. American tech executives have placed themselves in a pernicious situation and we need to understand what happened. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-first-...
Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up.
Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking.
The media response is "yawn."
Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.
Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low.
Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.
