The problem is not Rosen and other moderate Dem Senators. The problem is Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, Langford, McConnell, etc who know exactly how dangerous Trump is, have the power to neutralize him, and choose to do nothing. Cowards.
One of the ~5 or so most moderate members of the caucus
Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

If I could only choose one outcome in North Carolina in 2028, I’m choosing A every time:
A) Democrats flip the NC Supreme Court
B) Jeff Jackson (D) beats Budd for US Senate
C) Democrats win the state for president
D) Democrats win governor

Since flipping the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 2015, the Democratic majority has struck down a Republican gerrymander and upheld mail voting against conservative attacks. Three Democratic justices were retained in last fall's election.
Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep
The GOP mounted an unusual push to oust three supreme court justices and erase Democrats’ majority on the court. All three prevailed easily in Tuesday’s retention elections.

If you voted for Trump, if you voted for Jill Stein "because of Gaza," if you decided to sit your ass at home "because of Gaza," I hope terrible things happen to you.
And I hope those terrible things are GENERATIONAL.

Abolish the Dodgers.
I’d gladly sit through a two-year strike for a real salary cap. The Dodgers buying a start on third base in the World Series chase is absurd. At this point, signing there feels embarrassing. Does competition mean anything anymore?

Yes. Yes indeed. I believe they can do this.
"Can a foreign country indict Donald Trump in their domestic courts and send in their Special Forces into DC to try and grab the president of the US? This is madness. No one accepts the legal basis for this."

I don’t see a practical way that this happens but I fully support it.
The only path forward for the United States is for states to start leaving the union and forming their own alliances. California should lead and take everyone West of the rockies with them. The east coast next. Let’s split this country into several then establish a union. Be more like Europe.

In today’s police-state political environment this could land me in trouble but honestly the world needs to rally against the United States (something akin to World War 2) and stop the US’s unlawful aggression against Venezuela.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

With all that has happened in politics the last decade, esp how the right has demonized “brown foreigners,” do we really think a majority of Americans will care that we are willy-nilly blowing people out of the water. I think we are kidding ourselves about the level of humanity left in America.
BLITZER: But if there were survivors clinging for their lives on that build, was it legal to go ahead and kill them?
REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: If the mission was just to have a second strike to kill the survivors, that's questionable
