You want to see Republicans get on board with immediate legislation to limit Presidential power? Tell Joe Biden to start issuing completely benign but previously illegal orders. Like, Dear Military, henceforth all superior officers, regardless of rank or gender, will now be referred to as “Lisa.”

From The Kindly Ones, the 9th volume of the series. Morpheus (Dream) reflects on the nature of dreams: “They are strange, our dreams; beautiful or terrible, like lights in the dusky streets of some city seen from a distant hill. And now and then they are faithful and opium-stained.”

They are going to challenge the results win or lose. The point isn’t “winning” it’s breaking the system so that they can be the new system with absolute authority.

Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day. You know, that time when vast numbers of Americans stormed the beach of Normandy to help liberate Europe from the Nazis. Please make a note of this, Americans who are now rooting for the Nazis and trying to elect them.

Dear Senate Democrats: Know how Republicans got Abe Fortas, an ethically questionable Supreme Court Justice next up to be Chief, to resign because they didn’t have the ability to impeach him? They threatened to haul his equally ethically challenged wife before a fucking committee, that’s how.

If they ring the bell and wait for you to sign for the package, it takes longer. I forget the exact number but they have some insane metric like 10 seconds per delivery to meet and they are monitored more than a Supermax inmate. www.npr.org/sections/mon...

This should be a huge scandal: Alito’s vacation home was pictured flying a second flag used by the January 6 insurrectionists. We need the Senate to take action against this corrupt Supreme Court. Make sure your senators hear from you today: act.indivisible.org/letter/email...

I have no idea how to help you, the system is broken and has been for some time. But, just imagine being a senior or someone with serious issues trying to navigate this mess. Greatest health care in the world, if you can jump thru the hoops to get it. And pay for it.

Yes, Republicans might start a civil war if Trump is convicted. But they might also start a civil war if their puppy looks at them wrong.

NPR news on the hour reports on anti-Gaza-war protests, saying "some have stayed peaceful, some turned chaotic and have included student arrests." This is specious garbage. They've all stayed peaceful -- until the cops arrived and caused chaos.

Which is exactly the correct thing to do. Going on Xitter to argue with the fascists does nothing but give them your eyeballs. If everyone BUT the fascists refused to use the platform, it would dry up and blow away. In any case, those are not the sorts of folks with I care to associate so 🤷🏼♀️

For anyone who needs to hear this: it's OK to be wrong about things. You can have a change of opinion or beliefs after hearing more information and facts. That's not a personal failure. It's personal growth.

Journalism should be tax deductible
Taxpayers support “churches” because of the First Amendment, often with the opposite of any benefit. So why not the Fourth Estate?

I would like to know why no one is making a distinction between a party primary, which I think should include whomever parties want for candidate selection, and a general election, where candidates must be eligible for the offices they seek. If GOP wants to nominate an ineligible candidate, 🤷🏼♀️
