Judge Wilkinson is an inspiration. Even tho he is as conservative as s***t in normal times.

“The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.” - Judge Wilkinson www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

Let's all do this. Time for Schumer to head back to NY permanently.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Good question. We need to hear more shouting from those who have an audience.

Honest question: Why are our former #Presidents, Vps and their spouses, and all those #celebrities who took the stage for Harris so silent instead of heading with #courage our, the People's, #resistance and #protests? Where are they??? @hcrichardson.bsky.social @politicsgirl.bsky.social

Good question, George.

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

I really wish rather than saying, "Kash Patel is bad," Dems would say, "If Kash Patel kills investigations into corruption, right wing terrorism, and Russian spying, you will be responsible."

Truth. Please stop knee jerk reactions to the Greenland, etc. talk. It's all theater. The real stuff is how tRump and his minions are going to take this country spiraling downwards. Save your outrage for then. It's coming fast.

The reactions to this post (almost entirely from people who clearly didn't read it - that's okay; I react to headlines too) mimics almost word for word the react-to-everything/nonsense cycle the post describes.

Smart observations here...expect selectively applied policies to avoid MAGA disgruntlement.

"These MAGA farmers could be ruined if Trump follows through with mass deportations," reports Politico: www.politico.com/news/2024/12... Yet another data point hinting at a scenario along these lines:

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy. Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age. The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor. The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings. And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

Imagine being more outraged about a pardoned son than a convicted felon as leader of the free world

Here is the nugget I find most compelling from Josh Marshall's post: "the logic I just laid out sounds like one of those fastidious, hyper-process-oriented and baroque bits of reasoning that have of late left Democrats mesmerized while the real world is passing them by."

100% agree.

I'm GLAD President Biden pardoned Hunter. Hunter already paid his back taxes with interest, and has maintained his sobriety despite the harassment, attacks and baseless accusations. It had NOTHING to do with law & order - it was about revenge. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

What a contrast: On Thanksgiving, President Biden and the First Lady delivered meals to first responders in Nantucket, while VP Harris and the Second Gentleman volunteered at a food kitchen in Washington. Meanwhile, Trump spent his day in Mar-a-Lago attacking Americans on social media. Says it all.

In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.

Trump is itching to get his Cabinet in place. President Biden should help him by ordering FBI background checks on all Trump nominees to begin immediately.

Everything that is happening with the new Trump administration is to scare you. To make you want to put your head under the covers and never surface. Do not. You are needed. Because they are going to face a resistance they were not prepared for. No more playing around. 🖖

You are up to date.
