agree and boy do i have the podcast for you if you feel this way

Extremely frustrating to hear legal experts analyzing the SCOTUS ruling on immunity like just another case - it's an inherently normalizing act. People need to stop playing constitutional Calvinball and treat them like political actors.

This is what make so called moderate republicans quislings. Mitt Romney, Susan Collins et al could sink MAGA tomorrow by splitting off their own party. But they won’t put saving the country over their own personal political careers.

The story so far is that Labour isn't gaining that much support; it's just winning a ton of seats because Conservatives and Reform are splitting the vote on the right.

Are you a registered Democrat? Are you represented by any Dems in the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate? How about your governor? Today is an excellent day to reach out and leave a voicemail about any pressing concerns you may have....

If you're a member of a political party (i.e. a registered voter), and you want to communicate something important to your party's leadership, reaching out to any federal electeds who are also members of your party (congress, senate) or any statewide official (governor) is a way to communicate

charging and perp walking the mega-grocery executives who profiteered during pandemic inflation seems like a great idea for a candidate needing a boost. who cares if they beat you in court

For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.
