Honestly, the reason I don’t care about Democrats gerrymandering anymore is because they acted in good faith in 2021 by trying to ban it nationwide with H.R. 1. Every Democrat in Congress voted for it; every Republican voted against it.

When autocrats abuse the tools of government to cling to power, we the People must use every nonviolent form of power at our disposal to reclaim our government and re-constitute it to serve all people.

This is wildly embarrassing for Apple, Tim Cook personally, and the nation. A man who can be bought with trinkets cannot be trusted to put the nation's interests over himself.

He is far and away the cattiest, queeniest president ever. He loves musical theater and interior design. He openly denigrates weight lifting specifically and non-golf exercise generally as dumb, meathead behavior. He's been talking ad nauseum about building a ballroom lately.

Fiona Hill: The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression.

Since the end of the Cold War, summits have been used by US presidents as a mark of approval and withheld when they disapprove of Russian actions. Trump is, once again, signalling the value he places on Putin's friendship. It's a profound humiliation for the US.

That’s what they did in Stalinist Russia in the mid twentieth century, and what authoritarian states do to manipulate or control the scientists and intelligentsia. Here’s the link to my article in PLOS Biology I wrote in 2021 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Looks like they used the same artist who did that Christiano Ronaldo sculpture.

We’re shooting ourselves in both feet and calling it a foot massage.

I am asked, as a homeland security expert, to discuss the National Guard in DC issue and honestly I have no better explanation for why now than this.

I will vote for anyone, Democrat or Republican, who vows to put all these fuckers in front of tribunals.

During oral args in the Posse Comitatus Act trial, California's lawyer contextualizes the "standing army" of nearly 5,000 troops in the U.S.'s 2nd largest city. "That’s larger than the entire force sent to Afghanistan in the three months following Sept. 11, 2001," she says.

If you saw these headlines in any other country in the world, you'd call it what it is. It's an authoritarian power grab. We are swiftly losing our country and all the things we claimed to stand for. Congressional Republicans could stop this at any moment.

Donald Trump owns 25% of our debt. Let that never be forgotten!

Just an honest labor statistician collecting the data, crunching the numbers, and reporting them fairly, and definitely not an extremist ideologue with an axe to grind, unshackled from respect for the law or political norms.

Pritzker from the top rope.

Yeah, Trump definitely militarized Washington because he cares passionately about making DC safer. Just like he’s got ICE arresting legal immigrants and citizens because he’s focused on the border and the worst of the worst. Just like he’s extorting universities because he’s

If I've learned anything through the catastrophe of the Trump era, it's that a surprising number of Americans are profoundly, irredeemably stupid.
