Why Bullies Always Fail — as Trump Is Failing Trump's might-makes-right lawlessness will be his downfall. If we're not careful, it will be America's as well.

Bullies fail because they overstep their bounds. They don't seem to think there ARE any bounds!

The leader of the Fed must have absolutely transparent finances or cannot be trusted. We do not need someone like Trump heading the Fed!

Iran Warns It Considers Having to Spend More Time With JD Vance an Act of War “We spent twenty-one hours with this individual and refuse to endure such excruciating torture ever again,” the Iranians’ statement read.

So the Iranian negotiators consider Vance to be a biological weapon? They're RIGHT!

A reckoning is coming for Trump — and it will reshape America Trump believes that might makes right — that the stronger are entitled to attack and exploit the weaker.

It isn't just the lawlessness of Trump and the corrupt complicit GOP, @rbreich.bsky.social, OR the handful of billionaires you named. It's as if there's a monolithic evil entity stalking the land. Good people are nearly powerless to defeat it. We MUST CONFRONT it!

Nixon skated away without being held accountable for his crimes. It didn't start with him. Other than Robert E. Lee, which Confederate truly paid for their #Treason? And, even he got multiple statues erected, as if he was a hero. The corrupt @GOP MUST PAY!

When They Go Low, We Go … Virginia's decision to redistrict is NOT an "escalation" in the redistricting arm's race, if Blue-state governors send the right message

Fetterman can pound salt! But I blame #SCOTUS! They COULD and SHOULD have found #Gerrymandering UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The Roberts Court is the worst of my lifetime. They're BREAKING the Constitution! Thomas and Alito have committed impeachable offenses!

April 21, 2026 There is the unmistakable feeling that the wheels are coming off the MAGA bus.

Do the GOP politicians in office think they're in #RUSSIA? They certainly act like it. They are NOT working to make America into a more perfect union!

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

More than a decade ago, I got a copy of "A Lawyer’s Journey: The Morris Dees Story," for joining the SPLC. READ IT! I remained a member for years until I felt the need to donate all I could to replacing corrupt @GOP officeholders. May have to do both now.

Why Do People Fall for Propaganda? New Directions in Disinformation Research An important conversation with Friedrich Moser, director of How To Build a Truth Engine

We are not as smart as we think we are. That's how we succumb to propaganda and lies. It's not that Trump has a talent for either. It's that those are ALL he can do!

Sunday thought: A change in the air The noxious realities of Trump's authoritarianism are revealed for all to see

Kash wants cash: Inside the FBI Director’s $250 million defamation lawsuit On Friday, The Atlantic published a story alleging that FBI Director Kash Patel has “alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.”

Sure looks like Kash is only out for the cash! That's how the Trump Regime rolls!
