Today I learned that, in 1975, Milton Bradley made a version of their hit board game Operation that was, instead, haunted treasure hunt themed.

He wants US to back flailing authoritarian petrostate over democracy & freedom & opportunity because it will make HIM richer & more powerful. Just deranged propaganda flowing through SpaceX.

It's not good for democracy for the FEC to be essentially nonfunctional during this year's election. With the FEC having no ability to advise campaigns or start investigations, voters have no real assurance that campaign finance law is being followed.

ICYMI, the DHS publicized the arrest of a Nigerian man claiming, without evidence, that he worked for a Democratic congressional candidate in a PA battleground district. A complaint was filed, calling the attack a blatant violation of the Hatch Act. buff.ly/8v2VqNH

The public, through its elected officials, has the right to evaluate whether individuals meet the qualifications and ethical standards for government positions. Jared Kushner and the Trump admin have denied us that right. That's unacceptable and illegal.

We're proud to endorse @troyjackson207.bsky.social for U.S. Senate in Maine. Troy is a logger and a union man who has spent his life fighting for Mainers. He's running to build political power for the working families, not the billionaires who have bankrolled Susan Collins for decades.

Who's in charge of this country because it sure isn't us and it doesn't even appear to be the government anymore A bunch of paunchy moon-faced degenerate dead-eyed parasites forming a human centipede of investment in each others' vanity conglomerates, not a scintilla of civic virtue among them
So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

This is the correct position. From top to bottom, all crimes by this administration must be investigated and prosecuted or impeached. That means cabinet officials, that means ICE officers, and that means the President of the United States. To find a place to make a difference: votemaximizer.org

At least it was catchable and corrected. I voted today and had to color in the bubbles next to the candidates of my choice and then scan the ballot through a reader. I have no idea if my vote was flipped or counted correctly; there was no receipt after scanning, just an "i voted" sticker.

Who the f--k are we kidding here with the fake MAGA outrage? There are tons of examples of mid-level government bureaucrats coming under intense pressure to enage in sordid corruption and potential crimes. Here's a partial list of examples: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

I think one reason Jon Ossoff is really popping right now is he's not afraid to say forthrightly that Trump's corrupt enablers should get ready to appear before Congress. He doesn't get derailed by fake MAGA outrage or MSM laundering of it as "controversy." newrepublic.com/article/2168...

The inability of the 117th Congress & Biden admin to hold the first Trump regime accountable for corruption, maladministration during a pandemic, attempted auto coup, conspiracy to defraud the people, & inciting insurrection is the worst accountability failure in U.S. history. Dems must use power.
FWIW, I refer to this as "closing the hardball gap." It's the idea that asymmetric adherence to norms is itself destablizing, and that norm-breaking can/should be done in democracy's defense. This is a bit dated but it gets at the basic point:

I wish Dems would fully understand this...and its implications...how it ties to Trump, accountability, elite/billionaire impunity and privilege, how our system is rigged, inequality.
It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.

Exposure is a first step towards accountability, but real accountability needs punishment, yes. Put it this way: Should a grand effort to overthrow US democracy that involved a lot of lawbreaking go down as a cautionary tale—a Do Not—or as a thing to try again because the consequences are minimal?
“The bad guys were exposed, we won the election—that’s incentive enough for them to change their ways.” No it’s not. www.offmessage.net/p/exposure-i...
