Pulitzer worthy:
If I am any country in the world right now (except Russia), I am looking at the US like a box that fell out of a truck driving in front of me that is marked "TNT."

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

1/2: The indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is a sad reflection of what U.S. Attorney General Robert Jackson warned of 85 years ago – the Justice Department’s “immense power to strike at citizens, not with mere individual strength, but with all the force of government itself.”
Oh FFS, a Bozell. Why do the Bozells even exist? Such trash.

“Don’t protest.” Not great when federal law enforcement leaders start directly and openly denying the existence of the literal and explicit First Amendment.
“The use of force that I’ve seen has been exemplary — the least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission,” Bovino told @cbsnews.com Friday. “If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.”
FULL STORY: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who has led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs, to appear in her courtroom in person at 10 a.m. Tuesday. @wttw.bsky.social
This post is OK, but the headline and sub-head of the article are pure propagandist shite designed to make NYT readers stupid and passive.

Here's what happens to a self-insured middle-class couple's health premiums in every county in Washington state if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits aren't extended.

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.
It's like watching a malevolent alien shed its skin suit. There's nothin' inside but a sack of rancid meat and gnawing bigotries.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Yes! I volunteer to annotate Google Maps with a "Trump right here" pin.
Who's trying to buy the US military?

Worth investigating, or nah?

This is the abhorrently unethical man who served Trump and got rewarded with an appeals court seat. Democrats should begin impeachment proceedings against him the moment they are able to do so.

“The epistemological structure of denialism. Not honest doubt but motivated reasoning. Not skepticism but refusal to update beliefs in response to evidence. Not objectivity but a framework constructed to make authoritarian escalation seem like ordinary politics.”

A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
TFW you catch yourself thinking "gotta hand it to Doug Ford."😵‍💫
Nice fantasy. But no one is coming to our rescue.
That was OUR job, in 2024. We blew it.
Our praetorian guard are all dumb, cowardly, and corrupt AF. Look at Hegseth. Trump is no Caesar. He's Kim Jong-un but stupider.
