In "Runaway Train," John Ryan asks a guy if he's ever seen a riot in a maximum security prison. "Your brains are too small to imagine it," he says.
That's part of the problem Americans have with Trump's second term.

Georgia has filed its appeals brief in the voter suppression case. #gapol

The state is arguing that voters waiting in long lines to vote are being "accosted" by ... wait for it ... being offered food, water and, when it's raining, ponchos.

"Accosted"?👀

When Hillary Clinton called MAGA supporters “deplorables,” it was in the news forever. We still talk about it today. But when Trump called his political enemies “vermin”—actually invoking the words of Adolf Hitler—the press just moves on like it’s nothing. They are failing us.

Let's make plain what this is. RW publishers don't give a rat's ass about truth. They care about sustaining propaganda. Now, Meadows will have to choose whether to stay on the payroll and gamble on a pardon or whether to adhere to banked GJ testimony.

People are literally - and I am using the word in its accurate denotation - saying that anything that terrifies people is terrorism, and no matter how many times I say "AUMF" and "Patriot Act," they say that being scared is enough.

Pfizer produces the Covid treatment Paxlovid for $13. They’re charging $1390 for it. Pfizer donated $5.7 million to members of Congress since Covid began to get government contracts and keep drug prices high. Price gouging is legal because our campaign finance laws are broken.

(Rep.) Jim Jordan (R-OH) plans to move to a floor today for speaker with more than a dozen GOP saying they’ll vote against him or are undecided (list below via Punchbowl). He might be as many as 20 votes short of getting to 217, so there could be several rounds. Stay tuned...

In January, the Bluesky app began with a few hundred users. We’ve since grown past 1 million. I’m proud of what our team has accomplished in the last 9 months: we’ve open sourced the protocol and app, introduced self-verification via custom domains, and enabled algorithmic choice with custom feeds.

Citizens United must be overturned, by constitutional amendment if necessary. And we must hold justices to account for their corrupt acceptance of lavish gifts and demand their recusal in case involving or helping out their buddies. This is a cancer that will otherwise consume our Republic.
