No thanks?
There’s no legal precedent for cancelling elections. That is what we have to keep in mind. It’s never been done and the constitution is very clear that it must be done. Places like Ukraine have different requirements in their constitutions.
My only hope there is that it’s a lot harder to convince the men and women responsible for the nuclear chain of command to turn those keys than it is to find less vetted members of the national guard to aim guns at civilians.
Explains why he’s using Texas national guard in Illinois instead of using the Illinois national guard.
It’s definitely how it could work. It would bring peace.
The American experiment is based on the idea that citizenship is not based on ethnicity. We tried to conflate the two with slavery and the constitution failed as a result. The reconstruction amendments made this principle explicit. This shit is fundamentally anti American and anti patriotic.
They still want us to be a shining city on a hill. Just a glowing radioactive remnant in a wasteland of democracy. The city people tell their children stories about at night to scare them.
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
He’s also butt hurt that Pritzker is a legitimate billionaire.
just when i thought people were as dumb as possible they yell “hey yall watch this” and faceplant into the patio furniture
Especially since we already have Stargate command at the Cheyenne mountain facility. Huntsville is more of a NASA command center than it is a military stronghold.
“The terror and cruelty are the point.” Illinois Gov. Pritzker says WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller chose a potential federal takeover in Chicago during the month of Mexican Independence Day.
Republicans’ Big, Beautiful-for-Billionaires bill made cruel and dangerous cuts to health care to give tax breaks to billionaires. They are taking health care away from RIers and harming our already-fragile health care system. I’ll do everything I can to reverse these cuts.
Wow imagine that
In the midst of the Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration continued trying to make Donald Trump’s fascism happen. What I saw in response, though, was heartening — on multiple fronts. Tonight, at Law Dork:
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Donald Trump is attempting a hostile takeover of the Fed’s board of governors, Lev Menand argues. Capturing it would provide the president with a big prize.
Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.

It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.

Another federal official is refusing to step aside after the White House tried to fire him: Robert E. Primus, a board member of the federal agency responsible for approving railroad mergers. “It’s illegal," he said of the move. "The president cannot remove me arbitrarily."
Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook: “President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
It hasn’t worked out for any company or government yet. People want social safety nets and benefits. They don’t want actual socialism if they actually understand what it is.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
The only ways you can legitimately charge someone in a flag burning would be if they burn a flag that doesn’t belong to them. So theft, destruction of property. Or use it to create a larger fire. So arson. The rest of this is just authoritarianism.
The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy
Obviously, attire is vastly less important than presidential actions, threats, and declarations. But the fact that Trump did this Oval Office event while wearing a hat that said, “Trump Was Right About Everything” — in a big, all-caps font — added a Mad King vibe to already bonkers circumstances.
Also *always* record ICE or the police, even if you think Officer Friendly is "Just Here To Help" just record anyway. Be discreet, don't let them know you're recording, but always do it no exceptions. Many cops are happy to lie in court, don't let them lie & get away with it!

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

Tremendous crossover move right here:

“In a video posted to its X account July 28, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned ‘EVERY CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN IN AMERICA’ that the U.S. Border Patrol’s special operations group was coming to hunt them down. The video… also quoted an unexpected religious reference — the Bible.”

Q: Is Putin tapping Trump along? Sen. Thom Tillis: "How can anybody objectively look at what's happening right now and conclude otherwise?...He's a thug. He's a murderer. He's a rapist. He needs to go." (ht: @thebulwark.com)
It’s okay as long as you don’t inhale.
Robert’s is just too cowardly to make the bold decisions like Thomas does. Instead he’s worried about how his legacy will look which seems to say he knows what he’s doing would be considered wrong if he did it wholesale instead of piecemeal.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
