Our joyful little village turned out again today en masse to show the shitty administration we ain’t going down without a fight. Our rep @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social showed up too and told us to keep up the “good trouble”. #50501
Pro-democracy! No kings! 👊🇺🇸🔥🐸

No kings protest in MA. Veterans against Trump sign.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod.

And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

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

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If you want to know what a fucked-up loon Milei is, just read his Wiki page.

Spoiler alert: He has a psychic who contacts his dead dog to give him advice about how to run the country.

Same area as yesterday:

Today the Department of War carried out yet another lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO). Yet again, the now-deceased terrorists were engaged in narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

Isn't the butt of this joke usually centrists?

I really don't think the best way to beat fascists is to dabble in a little fascism, and strongly disagree with those who think that everyone has a Nazi phase (most don't) or that without at least some tolerance for Nazi stuff you can't appeal to men.

Meme with "Go Full Nazi" on one side, "No Nazi Stuff" on the other side, and a guy in the middle holding a sign that says "compromise?" with "maybe a little Nazi?" written over it

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

How a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare Taxes

Some of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

I feel like people missed this. On the $230 million shakedown, when Trump said, "I'm the one that makes the decision," he accidentally confirmed that he is appropriating for himself the power to order Todd Blanche to approve it:

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

I am going to leave the Platner thing alone soon I swear, once I'm done being disappointed at people for whom "no literal Nazi tattoos" is a bridge too far, but I want to point out something is off here about his statements and I think this might be another lie. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The US military already has a policy that checks for extremist, racist and sexist tattoos, and Platner added that the Nazi connection never came up during security screenings, including when he joined the army national guard after his marine service and later for the state department when he worked as security detail for the US ambassador to Afghanistan.
