Seems parable worthy.

Chuck Grassley is living in his own Bizarro World.

Someone sent me this.

No heart , no courage , no brains Case for no kings

I like this No kings rally sign

Kind of feel like all scifi movies are warnings.

FIRST WOMAN TO EVER WIN BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. FIRST BLACK PERSON TO WIN BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. FIRST FILIPINA TO WIN BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. ACADEMY AWARD WINNER AUTUMN DURALD ARKAPAW.

I’m low key astonished by the number of finance experts that didn’t anticipate problems with the Strait of Hormuz. Did they really trust Trump and Hegseth knew what they were doing? Did they take for granted all the usual experts that Trump fired? Didn’t most of us see this coming?

‘Sinners’ Proves the Power of Black Art Win or lose, the hugely popular ‘Sinners’ has already made history with 16 Oscar nominations

If you haven’t figured out yet why Sinners has been so popular and garnered 16 Oscar noms, read this smart essay (that I’m proud to publish) …and then do yourself a favor and watch (and listen to) this brilliant film.

Did Trump personally approve his 9-figure advertising budget, too?

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Don’t let anyone tell you we all don’t owe Ukrainians a tremendous debt.

It is so offensive what ICE is doing around America. We need to tear down the agency and replace it.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins stood silently in the Oval Office clutching a red MAGA hat as Trump told lies about our elections and repeated his call for the federal government to take over vote counting in certain parts of the country. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

For $1 Million, Donors to U.S.A. Birthday Group Offered Access to Trump

“people & companies with interests before the Trump administration can make tax-deductible donations to gain access to & seek favor with, a president who has maintained a …willingness to use the levers of government power to reward financial supporters.”

The biggest fraud ever perpetrated in America:

The incomparable Brandi Carlile performing America The Beautiful at the Super Bowl.

Great interview.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

I walked 1.5 miles this morning, but then, I'm in San Diego and it's 70 degrees.

Ah, yes. The preferred diet of brain worms. Does he think he came up with that plan himself?

That's a big plus in the positive column for you!

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

This is scathing. Kash Patel and anyone else involved in this must be impeached.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?
