People do not understand how much work in Congress involves lawyers.
Specifically, lawyers that have zero idea what they are talking about or are putting out complete nonsense legal arguments to justify the status quo.

It’s understandable when corrupt authoritarians who market themselves as “fighters against corruption” try to silence their critics. It’s less understandable when journalistic outlets like the BBC cave to such authoritarian tactics.
In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.
Elite capitulation continues.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

I've been very fortunate to never have been a drinker or a drug user but I have known folks who stumbled.
Whatever behavior people do while using is their responsibility but the idea that everyone who has ever used heroin or any other drug is a horrible person is just wrong.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

In my experience, people love to talk about politics, even people who are "non-political".
But the media spends so much time avoiding the major issues that people don't like talking about the type of politics they see on TV.
