Yeah, daily death tolls that matched 9/11 every single day there for a while and the guy who bumblefucked his way through the bloodbath is now trying to get his job back.

It's time to revisit the idea of expanding the Supreme Court, which means it's time to dismiss the misunderstandings about FDR's "Court-packing controversy."

Without even clicking the link, I’ll guess the reason — all the talk of racism makes white kids feel guilty. Again, if your kids are reading histories of slavery or segregation and identifying with the racists in the story, that suggests you’ve got your own problems to work through. Leave us out.

Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

This is also a nice reminder that when conservatives say, "Judeo-Christian" they mean "Christian," because you know nobody at Project 2025, including the person who wrote "Judeo-Christian" below, means anything but Sunday when they talk about deciding what people can & should do on the Sabbath.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

As more Americans find out about Project 2025—thanks to Taraji P. Henson and others—they recoil.
Trump apparently senses his team's authoritarian plans are an electoral liability, and is lying about it.
As @parkermolloy.com argues, media shouldn't buy the lies, and media-watchers shouldn't let them.

Not to mention one of the most vicious and virulent homophobes in the Senate during his far-too-long tenure. The first slogan he ran on was "God, Guns, and Gays." He didn't mean "Gays" in a nice way. Here's hoping he finds eternal rest in a place where warming is undeniable.

Small sample of things #Project2025 wants to get rid of:
-Abortion
-Pornography
-Overtime pay
-Social Security
-Veterans' disability benefits
-19th Amendment (women voting)
If that doesn't hit every demographic, IDK what would.

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

How does blowing up a children’s hospital in Ukraine—which isn’t in NATO—protect Russia from NATO? How is killing a bunch of kids who were far from military activity about security, not brutal aggression? Do Putin defenders and apologists who ape the NATO excuse hear themselves?

Thank you for this. Although we were able to elect Dem Governor, SOS and AG in AZ after decades of a deeply corrupt GOP executive branch, the legislature is still controlled by the GOP. This is their budget after giving away all of our money to the rich for decades.
