I’m in VA. Mcaullffe was hoisted on us in era when Clinton’s still had stroke. Many many Dems stayed home and Governor Empty Fleece was elected as a result. Now we have the CIA lady with bio so important to Law N Order types. Many Dems went along learned lesson. To early to tell yet how she goes

Disqualifying. In the primaries there are rightfully arguments across character and policy and loyalties and leadership and sponge worthiness. Now is correct time for this dude to get his performance review. Not in ME so no dog in fight. Hope ME Dems rally around eventual candidate

You mean the guy with a career of thousands of court cases as both plaintiff and defendant for stiffing workers/contractors/lenders is unwilling to honestly account for money already collected and open books to claimants or the courts?

helpful to think of present ICE/CVP raid/deportation waves as local mini-shocks in same way covid variation waves were local mini-shocks. Unfortunately similarities end there. Net removal of all forms of immigrant labor (undoc low wage to H1B tech) add up to permanent lower labor/pop supply & growth

“Ruby red” coloring on the electoral maps now more accurately indicates level of measles infection - color me unsurprised. Good thing end of ski season and less in/out tourists in SLC area.

Dune:

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Her Highness proves once again that she was my most acute student.
Trumperbashi: Send assassins.
Princess Irulan: No, prophets get stronger when they die. Let the conflict in Persia turn into war, you then bring peace, as a savior.

The Demise of DeRemer? - Confined Space Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez DeRemer (and her husband) have been accused of all sorts of ethical (and possibly criminal) violations.

The Demise of DeRemer? The Sec of Labor may be circling the drain after 2 of her top aides are fired following numerous allegations of her ethical and legal breaches
Oh, and her husband was banned from DOL for sexual harassment. Is she working for workers or herself?

The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent.

“Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.

The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We are now back to the near enemy/far enemy calculation but with Shiite wannabe be martyrs. “Who knew that putting a guy with a Crusades tattoo in charge of the military would lead to an attempt to turn the largest military in world into an instrument of his own jihad?
Besides everybody, I mean?”

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Why should you care that Massachusetts transfers so many people with felony convictions to ICE?

I tried to answer that question here: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

I think big difference in INTENTION for liberal/progressive/justice “democrat” candidate + language choices of such a candidate. “Reaching across aisle” is as you rightly say lazy analysis. Left wing believers IMO are deliberate coalition builders. Right wingers see only convert or condemn struggle.

I love the smell of fossil fuel supply shock in the morning. RIP Duvall - alongside Alda and Eastwood and Connery and Willis you were like an uncle in my life across so many films

Newsmax knows how to steal audience. Anti-Israel sentiment (“who is dominant partner here?”) within the maga coalition is the wedge that will cause biggest drop in support for all this BS. So yes let them fight. I’d like to see Dems say more “we don’t support Netanyahu or Ayatollah or Trump war”

From Dune 2:
Princess Irulan: If this Ayatollah is a religious figure, you can't use direct force. Repression only makes a religion flourish. You'll only end up humiliating yourself.
Trumperbashi: You underestimate my shock and awe.
Princess: *You* underestimate power of faith.
