An important reminder to a nation full of pious busybodies:

It's important for us all to acknowledge these white supremacists aren't marching with masks and sunglasses in our Nation's Capital out of personal safety. They're masked because they're cowards. They lack conviction. They're gutless. They're timid. They're soft.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Of course Social Security cuts are intended by the Trump administration after the midterm elections, I was writing about the plan to make cuts in 2024. shero.substack.com/p/make-no-mi...

Make No Mistake, Trump WILL cut Social Security and MedicareDonald Trump has bragged about cutting entitlements for a while now, but he seems to be purposely backtracking after the fallout this has caused with voters.shero.substack.com

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

NEW: @annabower.bsky.social at @lawfaremedia.org has published the Fulton County grand jury transcripts in the criminal case against Trump for conspiring to overthrow the 2020 election. This is the first time they've been published. You can read them here: www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court is not politicalChief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court justices are not “political actors.” He says justices are making decisions based on the law, not their personal policy preferences.apnews.com

Quiet part out loud.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii

Despicable.

Agree 100% . (Ron Fournier longtime AP bureau chief in DC.)

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Now that at least one U.S. air crew member is alive on the ground in Iran, it's worth revisiting Pete Hegseth's commitment to "no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." This is the scenario he was warned about.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
