He cried, “Why are you doing this? I was just eating crabs!” as ICE & DC cops smashed his head into pavement, blood streaming down his face. FIVE armed agencies to gang up on one unarmed man. It’s cowardice, it’s thuggery, it’s fascism flaunted in the heart of our capitol. Contact your reps.
I know the bigger issue here is the president of the United States talking like Paul Sorvino's character in GoodFellas, but I'm struck by the president of the United States *looking* like Paul Sorvino's corpse, which was buried three years ago.
This is exactly what happens in a fascist regime. People who speak out getting violently abducted.
This decision willfully ignores the Trump Administration's unprecedented and lawless attempt to destroy an agency *created by Congress* that has helped millions of families across the country.

Why would someone keep a list of pedophiles secret?
1) They’re on the list
2) They’re protecting people on the list
3) They’re following an order
Am I wrong, GOP? Then prove it.

And finally, after a quick word search, nothing was mentioned in the transcripts about a prison transfer. No mention of FPC Bryan, or a minimum security facility. So if these are the complete transcripts, where is that discussion? END/
I was playing goalie in a rec league hockey game and some guy winds up from outside of the blue line and the puck was over my shoulder before I could blink. My teammates were laughing and informed me he retired from the NHL two weeks earlier. Staggering difference from us mere mortals.
Trump would concede at the table what Russia could not take on the battlefield. Americans should not accept this from this weak ass president.
Holy shit.
Mark Zuckerberg invented the misogynistic gamer-gate, culture.

This would explain a lot.
I know rural America because I live here. I know rural inside and out and I speak on it often because almost no one else does.
I have the market on rural politics cornered because not many think it’s worth cornering.
But it is.

As we approach the 20th Anniversary of the Roberts Court, here is my list of the Top Ten Worst Con Law Cases of his Court. Boy was that a hard list to whittle down and no doubt people will disagree with some omissions but the harm to America is truly awful. www.dorfonlaw.org/2025/08/mour...
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
Worth remembering…
Life comes at you fast
ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They don’t want you to know how they’re treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVS…
British pubs are not democracies. If the publican tells you to leave, you leave, or you're committing a crime. They don't even need to give you a reason.
Putin's declaration of "brotherly love" for #Ukraine and what it looks like in reality.
Putin is a maniac and a sadist.
We know who we're dealing with.
Peace through force and ironclad security guarantees for Ukraine are needed. Putin's promises are worthless.
I keep hearing that Putin won't agree to Ukraine joining NATO, but I don't remember Russia being a member of NATO. They don't get a vote.
Like a well oiled machine
