Missed in all the pomp and circumstance about yesterday's awards at the Kennedy Center is that Scott Baio was to receive an award but was unable to find someone to cover his LYFT shift.

He looks terrible. You’d think after all the Biden health accusations, the GOP would want to know what was wrong with Trump.

But nah, crickets.
Trump last night had the complexion of a Thanksgiving turkey that was left in the oven too long and bandages were again visible on the back of his right hand

Hey, REPUBLICANS ARE OK WITH THIS.
"We are told there is a legal opinion from the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel justifying the lethal boat strikes, but the opinion is classified ...

Any such opinion must discuss constitutional law, and constitutional law is not classified."

Oh for fuck's sake. They're *leaving* the US, and if Border Patrol/ICE are doing their jobs, they most likely won't get back into the US. Why the fuck are we wasting money arresting them now? Because we can?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is incensed by all the people who are treating her exactly as she treated millions of people her entire career. Typical 2-faced #MAGAt cry-baby mentality. And its all coming from the fetid cesspool she spent her time in Congress building. #FuckMTG

Marjorie Taylor Greene told me to go back to my country and kicked our then-18-year-old communications director.

And then sent an army of trolls and death threats my way when I called her out.

She doesn’t get to play victim now.

20 Boys and Girls 6 and 7 years old and 6 adults were
Brutally murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

Marjorie Taylor Greene called it fake, for personal political gain.

First time Moms and Dads were broken, there are no words.

There is no forgive and forget here.

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

He can't because he's dying.
Brian Kilmeade thinks that Trump should go on the road and promote his administration as if he was running for office. The president hasn't messaged well on the affordability crisis. He might find lying to voters about things like grocery prices won't help win over voters.

Back to healthcare.

The ACA covers millions of people who don’t have employer-based health insurance or are insured by other government programs.

There is, has never been & never will be a GOP plan.

Extend the subsidies NOW or go to Medicare for All.

🇺🇸 trifectas get shot at doing something

Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

The platform must be institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said
If we want to actually be a representative democracy, then the platform needs to be institutional reform. All the Popularism and all the policies follow from that, not the other way around.
- DC/PR/USVI statehood
- Enlarging the House
- MMDs
- New VRA
- Totally revamping SCOTUS: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
- Automatic universal voter registration
- Rewriting the "national emergency" laws: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
- Subordinating the Senate: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.

But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.

And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.

Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.
