there is a LOT of chatter today about GOP lawmakers in the House looking for the exits but very little discussion of the fact that every dissatisfied and disillusioned Republican elected did this to themselves

The Incredible Disappearing Republican Lawmaker
The GOP’s total withdrawal from governing is nearly complete, and they’re increasingly determined to push the entire legislative branch into functional irrelevance.

Chilling quote re vaccines from pediatrician Paul Offit in this RFK profile @michaelscherer.bsky.social: “I don’t think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost."

more and more countries are going to see that getting off foreign oil imports is a great reason to accelerate electrification and renewables buildout, regardless of what it means for the climate
The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.
Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal.
Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . .
The average US retail gas price is currently $3.19, up from last week. It was a penny cheaper last Thanksgiving when Biden was president.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

Comey and James cases dismissed. Because Lindsey Halligan.
No legitimate prosecutor would manufacture charges against Trump’s political enemies, and one willing to failed.
Authoritarian abuses don’t work without capable personnel. Or much deeper corruption of the courts, which they don’t have.

NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.
DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

There's hardly an expression that captures the absurd hypocrisy of Trump talking about Comey lying to Congress while his administration is serving up more whoppers than a Burger King during the lunch rush
We’re Led by an Administration of Liars
Trump insisted Comey be prosecuted for supposedly lying to Congress—but his own administration is full of officials who lied to Congress.

The entire goal was never to get a conviction. Trump wanted the perp walk he didn’t get, and for Comey to be forced into legal bills that would devastate him. Which he also, through incompetence, also didn’t get.
