I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Hmmm. Yesterday there was a sealed order filed in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case in TN.
Now, the evidentiary hearing on his motion to dismiss, set for December 8 & 9, has been cancelled with no future court date set.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

So not a single journalist in the room pointed out that this is completely contrary to the president he serves who pardoned, en masse, people who attacked American citizens.
This is journalistic malpractice.

Conservatives want us to believe, against all evidence, that the country is irrevocably and evenly divided on abortion rights.
Whether it's standard misogyny or a deep disinterest in interrogating issues that impact women—that easily disproven lie has become political gospel

The DOJ is so bad at this. They don’t even have a grasp of the law.
Hedges also insists that a dismissal with prejudice would preclude future claims by members of the class that Ellis had certified.
Art insists that's "totally inconsistent with the law."

Back in February, Trump signed an executive order to eliminate USIP "to the maximium extent consistent with applicable law."
Now he's slapped his name on it. I am disgust.

The metal letters the administration used to plaster Trump's name on the side of the USIP building today appear very similar to the ones DOGE pulled off the wall when they illegally took over the space in March.

There’s nothing stopping any of us who live in other states from calling Hakeem Jeffries’s office and asking him to step down as minority leader.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

So maybe walk that one back, Hakeem.
