they say 16

but you get it done in 6

The Constitution hasn't been interpreted that way since 1950

We've now had both houses of Congress, on party line votes, refuse to stop the use of force against Iran

to turn that around we need something more compelling than obsolete legal arguments

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Scientists discovered a caterpillar that murders insects and stitches their dismembered body parts onto its back as armor

You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆

I mean, he needs a working bunker if his approval ratings keep going south at the rate they are.

ooo shots fired

parent fight! parent fight!

Chris Murphy 🟧 on X: "You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong. The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.." / X You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong. The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S..

Perhaps you could explain this to Senator Murphy before he takes his well-intentioned but futile legal interpretation of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to court and gets told the issue is nonjusticiable

Americans will stupidly vote out incumbents merely because gasoline prices are high

And rich but stupid Americans try to curry favor with rich Sunni oil sheiks by dropping bombs on their Shia rivals

BUT combine the two (get chocolate on my peanut butter):

midterm bloodbath for incumbents

It's a Speech and Debate clause, not an arm breaking clause.

Or a Speech and Caning clause

Yes of course

but all joking aside, I don't want to suggest either that Sadler and Talarico should aspire to die as martyrs (which would be frivolous) or that Christian Nationalists have any real chance of becoming a state religion in the US (which would be unduly alarmist)

sort of

Bonhoeffer was certainly courageous

but he didn't run for office (except within the church against the Deutsche Christen Nazis)

heck

he didn't even teach middle school (like Talarico)

I didn't foresee Presbyterians

(Rodney Sadler and James Talarico)

rising up to save us from the Christian Nationalists

(this is a weird timeline)

transphobia is comorbid with being a fucking cunt in every other aspect of your life

It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing

Honor. Decency. Clear sense of mission and duty.

Obviously not DNC material ...

Matter of Doe, 801 F. Supp. 478 (D.N.M. 1992) Matter of Doe, 801 F. Supp. 478 (D.N.M. 1992) case opinion from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico

Pam Blondi wants to resurrect the old Dick Thornburgh idea that DOJ lawyers are above professional ethics

Here's what a great federal judge, Juan Burciaga, said about that in 1992

One problem Trump would have with that:

he failed to have all the federal judges not loyal to him liquidated or bribed first

even the judges he appointed now have those jobs for life and owe him nothing further

so he keeps losing in "his own" courts

Matter of Doe, 801 F. Supp. 478 (D.N.M. 1992) Matter of Doe, 801 F. Supp. 478 (D.N.M. 1992) case opinion from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico

Here's a 1992 opinion from Juan Burciaga (a great federal judge once arrested at a Border Patrol checkpoint because he looked like a Mexican) about a similar attempt by AG Dick Thornburgh to declare government attorneys exempt from professional ethics

Send ICE to arrest the State Supreme Court justices without a warrant and hold them in a squalid private prison in another State?

a lot of critiques in aughts alleged that pentagon was influencing video games and in truth the relationship seems to be the other way around

I feel like this would be a better Facebook post, but

if you have all your retirement money in the stock market, you should consider taking the tax hits for withdrawing it

cruel

but fair

If you paid attention to the Texas primary debacle in Dallas, your takeaway should be:

"I need to vote early"

not

"omg omg it's all rigged there will never be another election Trump is dictator for life"

"they"

you don't have a stake in this, chucko?

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Deputy attorney generals can write all the memos they want, but law enforcement will still be questioned about home invasions

A DOJ memo used to be worth very little in federal court, but given the way things have been going lately for DOJ, it's now worth less than used toilet paper

If ever something screamed out for the Princess Bride "you keep using that word" gif, it's this

a "no knock warrant" is a warrant where the judge gives law enforcement permission to bust in without announcing themselves either because the person they want a warrant to arrest is particularly dangerous or to preserve evidence
