Great. When is he going to prison? Oh yeah, he and the hundreds of others were never investigated.

It was not a "last-ditch strategy." It was a coup attempt. He and the hundreds of co-conspirators involved in it should be in prison for life. The loonies the GOP bussed in to distract from the coup attempt ended up being a brilliant strategy, as NOBODY has investigated the coup attempt.

STRIVING, not thriving. I survived decades in the South, where misogyny is a religion and being groped and raped is called "Tuesday," only to see us stripped *by law* of medical care if bleeding out while pregnant, and we don't have representation in legislatures, governors offices or presidency.

I wondered what they were going to do about all the vets who might defend America. Now we know.

They are desperate to invent a reason for this war. You can't trust what they say.

Obviously it has awful long-term impacts on media but don’t lose sight of the comedy of the Ellisons going into unrepayable debt right as the AI bubble is starting to burst just to control CNN and make it at most 10% more nakedly right wing than it already is.

He was attacked by a pardoned J6er. Not sure who you are calling "we."

Six years in, the future of democracy is still on the docket None of these attacks on our elections were getting the attention they deserved. In October 2019, I decided to do something about it.

As large as Democracy Docket has grown, it still needs to scale larger and faster. The decline of legacy media and the rise of right-wing media have made our mission more critical than ever. In this arena, size and influence matter enormously. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/six-...

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

This terrorism was instigated by a J6er Trump pardoned, according to NYT, which failed to note the November 21, 2025 hate resolution ("horrors of socialism") passed by the US House with 86 House Democrats on board, was aimed at Mamdani.The article flippantly ignores the gravity of the attack.

In Italy, the federal tax is about $3.25 per gallon. You don't see people commuting to work there in otherwise empty Chevy Suburbans, as is so often the case in the US. The federal tax in the US should be much higher. Many American bridges are at risk of collapse due to lack of repair/funding.

Gas taxes are the source of funds for building/maintaining roads. The federal tax is a pathetic 18.4 cents per gallon, and already Senator Kelly has proposed suspending the tax (that is, de-funding roads/bridges) because of the war's effect on gas prices. Electric cars are cutting into this revenue

Donald Trump has called me a "really bad person," a "radical” and an “election stealing lawyer.” I think he is a deranged authoritarian.

California Democratic gubernatorial candidates:

It's now been four months of nearly every poll showing the two GOP candidates at the top. Not by much but still advancing. The jungle primary is less than three months away.

Paula Doress-Worters, who helped break the silence on postpartum depression, dies at 87 She co-wrote “Our Bodies, Ourselves,” a 1970s touchstone conceived by and for women. The book offered information about abortion, pregnancy and postpartum life.

For @washingtonpost.com, I wrote about the death of Paula Doress-Worters, who co-wrote the landmark women's health book "Our Bodies, Ourselves."

She drew on her own experience with postpartum depression to bring the subject out of the shadows: www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.
