I read a lot. I write. I think. I love to travel. I love my family and friends with my whole heart (including my dog). I genuinely care about all people and the state of things but fight cynicism on the daily. Human.

Please ask the speaker to stop it with the "boomer" talk. Boomers are among those who are fighting.

This is so evident. I don't listen to them at all anymore. They want to be seen as the good guys, but their handwringing is so disingenuous and cynical.

Yes, Murkowski and Collins do have this exact pact. It’s been an open secret for years. And the gullible voters in their states keep falling for it.

At a time when it's easy to lose hope, we want to remind people that our dreams are still attainable. We are still united in the pursuit of good. And each of us is just one of a million others who also refuse to give up. So stay strong. You are not alone.

Trump’s β€œBig Beautiful Bill” Could Backfire for His Party The long-awaited budget for the administration may end up scuttling key aspects of the president’s agenda.

The β€œbig beautiful bill” that President Trump keeps touting has sputtered in legislative turnaround for a simple reason: It’s full of spending cuts and dubious budget workarounds that will not bode well for a broader Trump agenda that’s already hitting the skids.

Griffin concedes NC Supreme Court race, ending unprecedented effort to overturn election Griffin’s concession puts to bed a contentious and chaotic saga in NC politics, one that has raised substantial questions about democracy and may impact the state’s elections for years to come.

Big in NC: Republican Jefferson Griffin has ended his efforts to overturn the state supreme court race he lost in November. He just conceded to Democratic Justice Allison Riggs.

Background: GOP judges in NC's state courts were agreeing toss thousands of ballots until a federal judge intervene.

The Trump regime's national security leadership accidentally included the editor of The Atlantic in their communications about military strikes in Yemen. Really.
Just because they're cruel, criminal and fascist doesn't mean they're competent.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Question for legal types: I am not familiar with the USSC's decision re presidential immunity, but I am not aware that it expanded presidential authority. So, if a president acts outside the bounds of their lawful authority, would those acts constitute an "official act"? Yet to be decided?

Trump’s Dictatorial Theory of Presidential Power - What the Executive Orders, in the Aggregate, Tell Us Trump's recent actions appear to assert an authority to override or ignore federal legislation whenever it interferes with his policy aims.

THE MOST important legal analysis I have read on the Trump presidency.

It offers a unifying theory of the administration's unprecedented claims to extreme executive power.

The claimed power to override Congress at a policy whim.

By two brilliant scholars. Trevor Morrison and @adambcox.bsky.social

Energized neo-Nazis feel their moment has come as Trump changes everything Far-right chatrooms are abuzz as extremists plan to use the next four years as β€˜breathing room’ and look to expand

We’re one week into Trump’s second administration and the verdict among far-right activists and neo-Nazis is that the next four years will be a time to relax, organize and take advantage of the popular awakening of American fascism.

I don't think his team would have let him go on stage the night of the debate if there was a significant history of mental confusion behind the scenes. If anything, they were over confidant that he could handle things even though his schedule was grueling at that point and he was on medication.

Is concern regarding conflicts of interest entirely irrelevant at this point? The pecuniary interests of so many proposed for the administration are so intertwined it is mind boggling. And no one is talking about disinvestment or other protective measures. Have I missed something?
