That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.

Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

Lucky! Did you watch the movie in theatres afterwards?

I understand this but I don't think the rest of us should leave because of mediocre college seminar gadflies, failed grapic novelists, middle-aged faux revolutionaries, and other griefers who want to use social media as their instrument of self-actualization.

Watching CNN and I know people have been mad at Jake Tapper, but he is spending quite a lot of time taking apart Trump’s completely crazypants speech

I would encourage anyone who is questioning the security of our elections to volunteer at their local polls! It’s a bunch of regular people like you and me, working hard to ensure that the vote is conducted according to the rules

And that's the thing. People want dirt-cheap air travel. They get it. Then they're mad. That's like going to Walmart or Sam's Club and asking for a concierge.

I wish Secretary Duffy would concentrate on keeping the skies safe and leave the moral hectoring to me. I'm better at it.

I put a Reagan/Bush sign in my window when I was at BU during the 1980 election. Amazingly, I still had lots of friends of various political persuasions.
Maybe it's not about his politics.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.

Democrats had one of the best nights in a long time. From NY to GA to CA, there wasn't a single bright spot for Republicans.

Yet, some people are so addicted to doom they almost get aroused by it. Worse, they are smug, self-righteous, and proud of such an attitude.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

And this is it's so important to reject nihilism about freedom and voting. This is gonna be tight.

Now that people have bitched about the article by looking at the headline, maybe you should read it

It’s about organizing, not cheating.

I drive my friends nuts sometimes with my insistence on specificity and language, but that’s because words begin to lose meaning a weight if they are not used in the correct context.

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.

β€œA House of Dynamite” is all too plausible. I’m a nuke expert - and it scared the heck out of me.
