Just an aging Gen-xer, trying to keep my sense of humor while the world burns - er, turns (burns?)
Katie Phang on Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors: "If you can imagine being the victim of this type of horrific child sex abuse, and then in your mind the brass ring is 'Let me sit down with the top cop of our country to be heard,' and to have him be such a dismissive asshole."
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
We're very happy criminal charges were dropped against our client Justin Carreno, who we were representing for purposes of his federal contracting employment. He lost two jobs due to this frivolous arrest. At minimum, he is entitled to public apology. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."
Trump says he has so successfully intimidated Rand Paul that he is now an obedient little cuck.
Jay Clayton wouldn't say Trump lost the 2020 election. He's our new Director of Intelligence. He has no intelligence experience. The enshittification of America continues. Hope you all feel great.
Cecilia Vega says she was pressured by Bari Weiss and other CBS execs to include misinformation and political bias in reporting that aired this year. "Never in my career, until now, have I felt that those edits, that those suggestions, came from a place of misinformation or politics."
“60 Minutes” correspondent says Bari Weiss pressured her to report on events that “never happened”
Cecilia Vega said CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss pressured her to include “misinformation” and “political bias” in several news segments.

Seems important for America to internalize this lesson, too.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2w agoThere are many takeaways from this, but it does show how one monster at the top can destroy a country’s global standing in a very short time, possibly for generations.
Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.
Our team was up at 6am this morning filing a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance admin for withholding records behind baseless election investigations. Transparency is not optional. It is the law. We will continue to fight for voting rights.
The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Trump Just Did More Damage to Elections Than China
His speech was a mashup of charges that aren’t supported by the documents he released.

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...
@ejeancarroll.bsky.social: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains”
The bottom line is that this is a real and live threat to voting rights in the United States.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social on fatal ICE shootings: "We keep hearing word of this kind of violence that is not making anybody safer... It's not making America a better place, and it doesn't have to be like this." Watch the full interview tomorrow on The Bulwark Podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The Quintessential Politician of This Era
The late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham made a mid-career turn to MAGA.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of New York's statewide voter registration list. A big victory for Elias Law Group and our Client the NAACP. DOJ is now 0-12 in these cases. ELG is undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...
FEC is without a quorum to act. EAC is without a quorum to act. DOJ is under Trump's direct control. This is a very dangerous time for elections. My advice and request is to sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Trump made $636 million from his crypto memecoin in 2025. He got a cut any time someone traded the coin, which he frequently encouraged his supporters to do. The one million of them who bought it ended up losing $3.81 BILLION. Trump will grift his own supporters to enrich himself.
And there it is: With just hours remaining until deadline to release more Epstein Files under lawsuit filed by @KatiePhang — Justice Dept asks judge for two-month delay, claiming it risks revealing victims’ identities.. … (which the Trump Admin has already done)
To be clear, this is not even close to being a satisfactory or compliant response by any stretch of the imagination and you can bet your bottom dollar we're going to the mat on this.
this Pirro press conference is completely beyond parody, like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. listen to this shit
He creates his own reality & expects us to believe it. The FELON's FANTASY: Meanwhile, back on EARTH 1:
KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
"Those children are not available for Musk’s phone call now, but perhaps the SpaceX owner could call their relatives and learn something about how much each of these children meant to their families."
Yes, the Cuts to USAID Have Killed
Elon Musk dismisses the human toll of the Trump administration’s gutting U.S. foreign aid—but it’s real and it’s measurable.
