It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If Comey hadn't put his thumb on the scale at the last minute for Trump, knowingly interfering in the election against Clinton, he wouldn't be facing Trump's wrath and the DOJ today. I suspect none of us would.
I keep hearing from folks in DC that Lindsey routinely concedes that the GOP has become nothing more than a personality cult around Trump, and of course his conduct reflects this. But he pretty much comes out and says it here.
The fact that trump is going after Thomas Massie because of… the Epstein files (that trump himself promised to release in the campaign) and that the GOP is likely to go along with him, is astounding
Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore signed his state’s own Voting Rights Act exactly 24 hours before the Supreme Court gutted the federal one, strengthening protections against voter suppression the regime can’t touch. Scott Dworkin
As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options:
1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing
2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website
Comey: “The president of the United States cannot use the Justice Department to target people because he wants to retaliate against them. We just can’t operate as a republic if that happens.”

During this tumultuous time for democracy in our country, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is putting his faith in the American people.
“Whose constitution is it? It doesn’t belong to the Supreme Court. It doesn’t belong to the federal judiciary. It belongs to us.”
No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.
The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today.
The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions.
But it took years of activism from brave people to get there.
Keep fighting.
OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.
“.. The unemployment rate for workers under 35 with a master’s degree has rarely been higher in the past 20 years ..”

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off
Minneapolis BROKE ICE. I couldn’t be more proud of my metropolitan area. FYI—protesters are still protesting every day at the main federal government building here.
President Donald Trump skipped his own White House-backed event “rededicating” the nation to God to spend the day at his preferred place of worship: the golf course.
Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.
There was a nuclear explosion in Israel at a nuclear site. A nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi suffered a drone strike.
Trump's reaction is to invade Cuba.
The Russian ship that Trump allowed into Cuba, has stocked Cuba with a large stockpile of drones.
Great work, Donnie & Pete. Are we great yet?
This is utterly batshit crazy.
FFS it's way past the time of some 25th amendment.
He belongs in some mental institution babbling away every day.
Absolutely he is projecting. His every accusation is a confession.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, LOL!!
Pete Buttigieg to CNN just now.. about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's controversial road trip reality show
"I love road trips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different"
This Needs to Happen….
Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.
Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states:
Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote.
