No one is coming to save us.

I hope we learned something from our failed Reconstruction. You don't forgive traitors. You don't forget treason.

We're going to need Nuremberg-style tribunals when this is over.

No rich, well connected person surrounded by power would be dumb enough to appear, out of the blue, for no admitted reason, on national TV to *pre-deny* through a well written lie that they were involved in a child-trafficking ring.

Oh, except for Lutnick.

Wait, and now Melania?!

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

This is Colorado's worst drought in over 5 years: 95% of Colorado is in some form of drought, and 21.6% of Colorado is in the highest category of drought.

Both of those figures are the highest % levels since March 2021.

Need a big spring/summer.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:

Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.

The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

NEW: The proposed $68 million settlement involves a Texas land developer that the DOJ had previously accused of preying on Hispanic residents.

It includes no money for victims but more than $20 million for police and immigration enforcement.

Look, I realize both sides are going to SAY: “We have to do this as a safeguard against meritless vindictive prosecutions; they’re doing it to shield actual serious criminal conduct by allies.” But it does sort of matter that it’s true in one case, and false in the other case.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win.

It remains truly maddening that the “significant achievement” some are now pointing to as the best possible outcome of this horrific war is a half-assed, much worse version of what was negotiated more than a decade ago in the JCPOA.

Diplomacy worked. War failed.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

As the comments point out, the only thing off is "US soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families." Nope, the military complied with orders to blow up civilian boats and a girls' school, and stood ready to carry out orders of "a whole civilization will die tonight."

Columbia suspended, expelled, and retroactively revoked degrees in proceedings that were so arbitrary and capricious they were overturned by a NY state judge. Literally the only evidence Columbia submitted came from sealed records of dismissed arrests—records that Columbia shouldn't have even had.

“At least seven prominent law professors.”

As I suggested on Monday, this is just like Justice Gorsuch’s “battle of law reviews.” It’s not about the frickin’ scoreboard:

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.
