Retired attorney; Yanks/Giants fan. Never forget the hypocrisy of the flag-hugging draft dodger, and the murderous insurrection he incited and his party enabled. All in on the fight against fascism, and the nauseating hypocrisy of sanctimonious Republicans
The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Give Them an Inch...
And they'll take away women's sports...

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
15. As Paul Krugman said this morning: "So rather than trying to mollify the Democrats and defuse the coming political reckoning, the billionaire class is opening the money taps, going all out to prevent Democrats from being elected.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Michael Popok on Todd Blanche's tax relief scheme for the Trump family: "How can you settle a case and have a super pardon for Donald Trump when the underlying case was illegitimate?"
“In recent months, ICE has deployed a round-the-clock digital dragnet to scour the public internet—from Facebook to Instagram to X—for speech that could endanger the agency’s mission.” Speech. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
How ICE Is Weaponizing Social Media Against its Critics
Agency says its surveillance program searches for threats to agents, but critics see free-speech infringements.

Hollow Blanche deal: Democratic Sen Blumenthal, Judiciary Cmte, said: “Cornyn & Tillis have gotten nothing. The tax immunity deal is still unlimited in terms of tax control liability, the slush fund (thug fund) is still alive & well so far as Trump is concerned.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
‘Completely hollow’: critics denounce Blanche deal to halt Trump slush fund
Democrats say agreement – which clears way for Blanche’s confirmation – makes promises president can easily reverse

Iran and Oman are huddling to decide how to charge tolls on the Strait of Hormuz. Trump calls this progress. This is the outcome we're supposedly fighting the war to avoid. The Strait was open before Trump started this war.
Iran Says No Current Talks With U.S. After Trump Cites Progress on the Strait of Hormuz

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #DOOR Dr. Fauci is a hero. If not for him, many more people would have died from COVID. What has Rand Paul done for humanity? Zero! Just ask his neighbor…..
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
🎤 James Talarico has agreed to THREE televised debates. Ken Paxton still hasn’t accepted a single one. If you’re asking Texans to send you to the Senate, you shouldn’t be afraid to stand on a debate stage and answer their questions. What’s the holdup? www.wfaa.com/article/news...
Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
Lots of plausible outcomes in November, but people are still underestimating the chances of a massive Dem landslide.
Josh Zingher@zingherpolisci.bsky.social · last wk.After a slight polling bump, we've had a series of completely brutal polls for Trump over the past week. He's currently sitting at 36.5%/60.5% per FiftyPlusOne. If this holds, it will be the lowest approval for a president heading into a Midterm since Truman in 1946!

In '98, my fellow loggers and I blocked the Canadian border to fight back against billionaire landowners trying to depress our wages. Susan Collins was my Senator back then. She sided with the big landowners over us. This fall, working people will once again fight back - and send Collins packing.
Donald Trump claiming the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz is like him claiming he still has control of his bowels. Utterly laughable.
