I am begging us in media to stop mealy-mouthed avoidance of bias with phrases like "in a controversial move."
When what we actually mean is "in a move antithetical to every scientific finding and medical recommendation." "A move that will cause both illness and death."

You don’t even need to be original, build schools and libraries and infrastructure that will outlast you. It is actually remarkably cheap to be beloved if you do it this way and not by paying someone to level your videogame character for you so you can impress internet dorks for clout

I don't know what it is about the Monday after a holiday weekend but I always get hit with a wave of melancholy. Maybe it's because holidays measure years rather than days or weeks. Your kids grow up, your parents grow old, time keeps slipping into a cumulative past

Corruption I get but chaps, cmon
“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The demands for an investigation come after a ProPublica story revealed that the Noem-connected Strategy Group was secretly a subcontractor on the ad campaign.

Have you ever really LOOKED at your pet's legs & paws?
What am I saying? You bunch of goobers have DEFINITELY looked at them.
But have you noticed they have an extra "bend" in them you don't have? Like where your calves are, they have an ANGLE.
That's because their HEEL is halfway up their leg.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country
