What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

He's truly an USian "royal" in the sense that I have failed to identify any vocation beyond making other people's lives worse simply by existing.
People be like “RFK jr is out of step with the medical mainstream”

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This is a five-alarm fire. Washington, DC is now going to be crawling with ARMED military units, for no apparent reason. At what point do our idiot media members drop the crime-fighting pretense?

I think Stephen Miller finds authoritarianism "based" on an inchoate, emotional level, and constantly pursues authoritarian escalations for the transgressive, psychosexual thrill it gives him. When the reich of his dreams fails to manifest he escalates more, basically without a plan
I just don't understand what they hope to accomplish. Are they looking to intimidate the opposition? Move assets into place for a proper coup? Put on a show for their base? Like did they think this through, like at all?

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

I decided to look at all 66 prosecutor elections this fall.

Why? Prosecutors have huge power over sentencing, charging, second chances, and even immigration implications.

Here's everything you need to know, from East to West Coast. New from me:
Your Guide to the 2025 Prosecutor Elections - Bolts
Most of November's prosecutor races feature just one candidate, as usual. But key races will shape the politics of criminal justice, from Philly to Seattle — plus a wild card in New Jersey.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
