Incredible how they insist, collectively and individually, that "Look, I'm voting No on everything until something vaguely like sanity returns to the White House" would not be a defensible position right now - politically, morally, whatever.

Iโ€™ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

Trumpโ€™s Epstein scandal somehow got worse | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, is black rain over Tehran a sign of the Apocalypse?

Buried bodies near a NM ranch? New evidence that Epstein may have been murdered? The bolstering of Trump's teen-sex accuser? The Epstein Files have gone wild, and there's one thing we can say for sure

Federal authorities are tied to a massive coverup

Democracy for Realists Why our belief in government by the people is unrealisticโ€”and what we can do about it

We voters are validation junkies. And too many of us are racists, misogynists, and bully wannabees. 49.8% of us, to be exact.

Paints an ugly, daunting picture if one considers voters as validation junkies. 49.8% of us found Trump to be their boy.

This whole thing reeks of what seems to be an intrinsic divide, based upon the way our brains have evolved, between fear of group instability leading to death versus the desire to achieve social standing/power by being innovative. Fear vs Imagination. Whatever, we _need_ to form groups. Us vs Them

It's the year 2026. The world is at war because of Donald Trump's lunatic invasion of Iran. Jackbooted thugs fill American cities. The online left demands that Democrats earn their vote or they'll sit the next election out.

If youโ€™re roughly my age, itโ€™s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected โ€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! โ€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girlsโ€™ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

The infuriating history of the law that doomed abortion rights The men behind the Hyde Amendment saw it as their ticket to paradise.

Of all the scoops in Killers of Roe, my secret favorite is that notorious anti-abortion Congressman Henry Hyde was an ass-grabber who once made a pass at Planned Parenthood president Faye Wattleton during a commercial break.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as โ€œpointlessโ€ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
