Ageing hippie. Long-time expat. Science ed writer, occasional novelist, Gen AI enthusiast, sorry. On the interwebs since 1995 with nothing to show for it. Free prize for whoever identifies the photo (not the pizza).
Reagan meant actual peace. We defeated the Soviet Union by building our military and a concurrent negotiating and economic effort to end their rule. It worked without open war. Trump isn’t doing anything of the sort. He’s a drunken fool careening around a glass shop breaking crap until passing out.
Donald Trump is threatening to destroy a "whole civilization… never to be brought back again," but at least Merrick Garland kept his investigation from looking too political.
The next pro forma session is on Thursday. Instead of just posting about how Congress needs to convene: get on a plane and be there to force the issue through Motions to Suspend the Rules via unanimous consent. Strike a deal with 8 GOP members to vacate the Speakership. Go. Do something.
Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
@crockett.house.gov very graceful concession! Would be great to see you share the stage with Talarico at a rally or three. I’m overseas but have ex-MAGA family in Tyler ready to go Blue.
I admit I had to look it up. Robert Trujillo, Metallica bassist and a few minor football players. However, a long list of famous actors have been “on set” as it’s nearby studios.
