Sometimes I feel like I talking out into the void and no one hears me.

Please tell me I am not the only adult that loves ice cream that they carefully mix and smoosh into a soft mixture.

Guys, I have bad news about impeachment. If the president distributes Treasury funds lawlessly, and Congress is powerless to stop him, then the president can also ignore an impeachment conviction and Congress still has no ability to physically remove him.

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

Something I've learned from reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is that much of what Trump does can be explained by the fact that he is, fundamentally, a criminal. The ideology of Trumpism is important, but that's a result of the dynamic between Trump and his followers.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

SecDef Hegseth Announces Trans Scouts In Scouting America Will Be Outed, Segregated The policy is the latest in a trend of organizations capitulating to Trump over transgender people.

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender.

The policy is the latest cruel capitulation.

This Super Bowl halftime show is like watching the opera: the music is cool as shit, I have no idea what they’re saying but I love the narrative, and it’s 1000 times better than the Rolling fucking Stones.

Even though I’m not watching the game, I did take a break to watch the halftime show. Bad Bunny was good. I liked it.

Not watching the big game. I’m switching between a book and vertical dramas. These Verticals have me in a chokehold.

How the FBI Worked Out Epstein’s Sinister Web Newly released documents show just how much evidence prosecutors had in Florida before Epstein was handed a sweetheart deal.

They had Epstein dead to rights. Nearly 3 dozen victims. He shouldve been in jail for life.

They gave him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep raping girls while hopping in and out for prison for 13
months..

Only got to 99. I’m half done the book that would take me to 100 but can’t finish in time.

Yes please, still trying to break 100, in an unusually light reading year.

Merry Christmas. May your day be filled with joy and love.

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans.

It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

I went to my first NWSL Sunday. I cheered on the Washington Spirit. It was so much fun and they won. Hope to attend again.
