Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Hey, DIPSHIT, do you ever think disabled rights aren't a big deal cause you're a hep cat? THINK AGAIN You're gonna get disabled eventually, as age or accident comes for us all! If you can't give a fuck for folks now, whose gonna give a fuck about you later?
I can't believe the U.S. Congress is flying Nigel Farage over to tell them about freedom of expression in a hearing this week. judiciary.house.gov/committee-ac... Hey people in the UK, are there any particularly choice tidbits you'd like to share about this guy??
If your heritage is a corporate logo you've drawn your heritage in the sand at high tide; not only will your heritage be swept away in an instant it is natural that it should be. People of shallow soul and self-narrowed understanding, hiding under the blanket from the slightest ray of awareness.
Cling to their bibles? If only. They never comprehended their bibles. They cling to marketing: Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the Barrel Cracker etc. Their praxis is waiting in line for Chik Fil A. Their heritage is green bean casserole made with Campbell's cream of whatever soup. Embarrassing.
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.
Tangential but it’s notable that when California does things it gets reported as “Newsom” and when Illinois does things it gets reported as “Illinois”

Once more for those in back: They were never going to be able to implement a mass deportation program without prioritizing people like this. Criminals and gang members are too hard to find and apprehend. Regular folks who show up to work, church, and their scheduled immigration appointments are not.

It wasn't a scandal when he did it. I wonder why?
Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the biggest scandal of the Obama administration.

This is a willful plan to destabilize the US government and cement it as a failed state. Because he is a Russian asset. This is not to say that the files don’t matter. But they are not the motivating force here.
"Like Monarez, O’Neill is not a physician" is a fascinating sentence. It seems like it might be relevant that Susan Monarez has a PhD (dissertation: "Macrophage regulation by trypanosome GIP-SVSG during trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection ") while Jim O'Neill is a venture capitalist with an MA.

The GOP and @JDVance have spent more time this week acting upset that "thoughts and prayers" are not a solution for gun violence than they have over the reality that the gun violence actually happened. It will continue to happen because "thoughts and prayers" is all they have.

Sadly, this post is evergreen. I thought all those slain blonde babies at Sandy Hook would change things, but, nope. They jeered at Obama for crying! That’s when I finally understood that white supremacy & guns mean more than everyone & everything else. So, this will keep happening in America💔🕊️🙏🏾

The web is like the Grand Canyon, a natural resource worth protecting. I heard a great recent podcast about how wolves were brought back from near extinction in the Rockies. The Hudson River once thought to be polluted forever is now clean. People swim in it.
If you can keep fighting and escalating forever, you will win, or at least drag them down in the process.
The vital currency in all modern political disputes is the public's attention. The more you escalate a conflict, the more attention you get, and if you're in the superior, more defensible position - which may not be the most POPULAR position, at the outset - fighting it out wins people to your side.
The other thing is that if you have the morally, logically correct position in a conflict - or are simply standing up for a popular institution or a stable status quo - you should WANT to fight, as long as possible, in as large a public forum as possible, because that's how you persuade people.
This👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
So much of their power flows from the way people quietly bow out of their way, forcing them to expend essentially no political capital to shred vital and popular institutions. And then, having done so, they look even stronger, and it’s even easier next time.
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

I’m convinced Trump could announce he’s bringing back human sacrifice to assure the harvest and the Times headline would deem it “unconventional plan for farmers.”

The media is using the headline: "Trump Fires Fed Governor." Instead of, "Trump attempts to illegally fire a Fed Governor, which is beyond the authority of the POTUS."

The people saying that Kamala “should have done what Newsom’s doing now” are the same people who’ve been saying for months that her campaign “didn’t have a message beyond ‘Orange Man Bad’.” Will they ever tire of being loud and wrong?
It's the end of an era. After 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record label. The metadata and thumbnail remain, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found' youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Yeah. But as much as I want to be gleeful at his evacuation (I have to repent for my thoughts about it several times daily), the aftermath is more likely to inspire day-drinking than celebration.
Option three is the even worse option. Imagine Vance, an unserious juvenile, being managed by his tech benefactor Peter Thiel as president. Smarmy Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton jockeying for position, while sycophant Ted Cruz sycophanting about in the background.
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
