In short, I think what we're seeing from young people right now is somewhat encouraging. Look at these numbers!

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
βHypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different peopleβ¦ but alsoβ¦ his name was in the classified Goat Fucker Chronicles 5000 times and he wished other goat fuckers well in prison, what do you think the odds are that person is also a goat fucker?β

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam that would rip away our right to vote.
Congress must protect our democracy and vote against this bill.
U.S. leaders were told: "declare victory and go home" in Vietnam as early as 1966, but fought for 7 more years and thousands of pointless deaths
The Trump regime has lost an even more senseless war in Iran in just 2 weeks. The time for leaving is now

Itβs wild that you can stand out by showing up at the premises an underappreciated public service and acting normal
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

In his SOTU--a mere 9 days ago!--Trump declared: "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens." Yet, as Prof Neil Buchanan says on the blog, he is failing even at his duty "not to inflict gratuitous harm and death on disfavored people essentially for kicks." π
@radiofreetom.bsky.social on Hegseth whining about news coverage while not getting that "When a drone slips through US defenses and kills 6 members of Americaβs armed forces, [they] *are* the story. The people of the US deserve to know what happened and why." π¬ππ π www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
That's not true. But Gandalf fought Durin's Bane, a Balrog of Morgoth, from the Bridge of Khazad-dum, up the Endless Stair to the peak of Zirakzigil until Darkness took him and he strayed out of thought and time and wandered far on roads that he will not tell to avoid an interview with Chotiner.
Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

Every single one of us would have understood it if @crockett.house.gov had remained in Texas for a while after putting everything she had into her Senate campaign. Taken some time to recover, rest, and heal. She's earned it.
And instead she's right back at work in DC today. For all of us. Wow.

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβand 9000
miles from North Americaβmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
So if I understand things correctly, we're going to level Iran, leave it in ruins, and then expect the populace emerging from those ruins to not only take down the Iranian government but also do so without direct US support and with the intent to form a government favorable to our interests?

On an easel, a painting of priest in a dark temple
The painting
Detail of the priest
New Rembrandt discovered.
The painting depicts Archangel Gabriel (not shown) announcing to the high priest Zacharias that despite his and his wifeβs advanced age, they will have a son: John the Baptist. Rembrandt would have been 27 when he painted this in 1633.

I think Iran's theocratic regime is a menace.
But I also think the Constitution intentionally does not place the life-or-death decision over what to do about that in the hands of a single man.
Tequila Talk In 10! Trump Threatens βEmergencyβ to Cancel Midterms (Really, Not Fucking Clickbait). My pal Joe Walsh had a thing to say on this at State of the Swamp (SOTS)!

Let's add some context: Fox News averaged 2.6 million viewers to CNN and MS NOW's combined 1.9 million. There are 342 million Americans.
That means 98.7% of Americans aren't watching cable news at all.
NEW: We're there. The midterms really are starting.
March has the year's 1st supreme court race. Primaries for Senate, AG, & legislature. Sheriff & DA races rocked by ICE. Special elections that may flip. Even a minimum wage measure!
