I like my Presidents winning Pulitzer's and the Nobel Peace Prize, not Losers, with convictions of Sexual Abuse and Defamation.

Just to be clear, in a functioning democratic system, this man's own party would vote unanimously to expel him from the House and bar him from returning.
In the system we have, not a single Republican is going to vote to expel him. It's not even clear they'll have the opportunity, since McCarthy probably won't allow the vote to happen.

The House is back in session this week.

I’m ready to work with my colleagues in Washington for the people of #OH11 and everyday Americans across the country.

When Elmer Stewart Rhodes and the rest of the Oath Keepers who went on trial for seditious conspiracy are sentenced later this month and into June, I will have coverage from the courthouse for emptywheel.

Not today, sparky.

E. Jean Carroll was brave enough to face a system that victim shames, and a former president who used his platform for further attacks. Trump wasn't even brave enough to testify. Over $5 million awarded to #EJeanCarrol.

I wish I were feeling this upbeat about the temperature. I'm #HotHotHot for all the wrong reasons. LOL

Voting for the "lesser of two evils" is how you get LESS EVIL!

Why do people struggle to understand that?

@SocialistStan @asbestos tiresome children will be tiresome and childish

Wow! My credit card has 5,290,563 points, I'm so excited, but I can't decide if I will get the pencil topper or the kazoo.

You have to see this.

maybe I'm reading this sign wrong but it says we should set this store on fire?

Well I'm not sure why they would want someone to set their store on fire but we have to listen to the sign right?

5/ Via Elie Mystal:

Yes on sexual abuse, no on rape (intercourse), yes on defamation, yes on lying, $5 million awarded to @ejeancarroll

But you can't put a price on the vindication she is entirely entitled to.

There's still a weird urge among some journalists to pretend Elon Musk's politics can't be captured by normal labels.

He's very far right! He thinks banal, nonpartisan, routine conferences for election officials are "far left." This is not complicated!

This was something I had failed to consider. Police departments in the US are standing armies. This might be why we don't protest like the French. Police in the US are far too militarized without all of the training.

Using Pine-sol says, I cleaned my house for you, but I want you to know I cleaned my house for you.

@edwardchampion @barney @GreenFire @JamesBazan @mentallyalex We also need to keep in mind that we’ve never given Democrats big enough majorities in the national level to accomplish codifying Roe although we can’t actually codify it now, Roe itself. Ship sailed. On the local level where the majorities are sufficient, Democrats are doing quite a lot.
