This week has been a lot. It’s overwhelming.
But what is in those files the DOJ released today is a scandal of monumental proportions. People fear that it is “too big to fail.” Maybe.
But Congress must act.
Yes! we need all the files. But what has been released is already a four-alarm fire.

We the people have so much power, and now that we are finding it in ourselves and in our communities, we can literally build the better world that we were promised, but never delivered. We just have to do the work.

The way this has to end is the full dismantling of the Republican apparatus and the end of citizens united at a minimum.
Groups like the Heritage Foundation need to be destroyed.
Stripped of tax exempt status, the ability to spend unlimited sums of money on politics, and the ability to conceal donors.
Go down a list: Heritage, CNP, the Manhattan Institute, ALEC, DonorsTrust, Americans for Prosperity, etc.

“The problem here is that he didn’t follow the rules” is the only argument you can really make when almost no one in your coalition is anti-war in any meaningful sense.

This is Edwin. My old manager found him in her garbage bin and has been kind of taking care of him, but she's not a cat person (even though she named him). He's coming to live with us tomorrow. #stray #straycat #catdistributionsystem

To quote Peggy Noonan, “is it irresponsible to speculate? No, it’s irresponsible *not* to.”
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Virginia Republicans have learned the difference between having a one-mile flood barrier that's 20 feet high and a ten-mile flood barrier that's 2 feet high. But while you celebrate, don't forget that their reaction won't be "We need to change" but "This is why we gotta stop having real elections."
