I wrote that book Transition 55, and if you're not careful I may write more.
the massie impeachment articles are remarkable and, especially for the articles related to war crimes and extrajudicial killings, they allege not merely impeachable offenses but crimes under U.S. and international law. massie.house.gov/news/documen...

The young kids won't believe us, but there was a time not too long ago where even if the Supreme Court didn't agree with a district or circuit court opinion, it would wait to hear argument on the case before weighing in.

I wrote about how U.S. government IT systems under Trump should be considered completely compromised, likely requiring a decade and untold billions of dollars to fix:
Total System Failure: U.S. Government Networks Will Need To Be Torched And Rebuilt
From dodgy DOGE bros to White House systems compromised by foreign intelligence, Trump cybersecurity damage will take decades and untold billions to repair.

Pete Hegseth's lawyer: Don't worry, we'll fight this. It's not like you killed someone. You did? Well they still have to prove it. It's not like you posted hype videos bragging about all the killing you were doing
numerous White House officials have dodgy Russian proxy software installed on their personal machines, potentially allowing foreign intelligence services and hackers access to sensitive White House systems for far less than the cost of a single cup of coffee:
White House Network Possibly Exposed to Hackers Via Proxy Services
Evidence has emerged that White House staffers are using an app loaded with residential proxy services, which often sell IP addresses to anyone, including hackers.

Say what you will about Douthat, he seems utterly sincere in his Christian beliefs and this is a remarkable moment

It’s always the same. The Tea Party protests were *insanely small* compared to No Kings, yet the media responded by giving Tea Party Republicans a televised slot to reply to Obama’s SOTU in addition to the regular GOP response.
Schnorkles O'Bork@schnorkles.bsky.social · 2d agoI love* the fact that the media spent years telling us the country had changed forever because of an R +1.5 environment and when it's a D +13 environment they're like "woah there partner, this probably doesn't mean anything."
But he’s not a radical left communist or a jihadist. Say that
Financial Times@financialtimes.com · 2d agoDonald Trump has warned of 'radical left communists' and called newly elected Michigan senator Abdul El-Sayed a jihadist. But they are outliers. Most of the Democratic lawmakers who were swept to power in the blue wave of the midterms are moderates. ft.trib.al/uhtivqc

Let's see, I'm just going to do a quick search for "attorney general" in the Constitution and ... huh, no results? Help me out here, Todd. Where are you seeing this?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoBASH: Do you see it as your job as attorney general to represent anyone in the administration being investigated by Congress? BLANCHE: Wait, do I see it as my job? The Constitution sees it as my job! BASH: So if Hegseth faces impeachment, would you represent him? BLANCHE: Well, yeah
The attorney general is not in the Constitution and defendants in impeachment trials, including presidents, are defended by their own personal attorneys. The United States is not a party to the proceeding.

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)
Yeah, this is a gift for Democrats. Nothing but upside.
Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social · 3d agoMake him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...
If you were thinking: what could Trump do to push his approval rating down even further and open up the possibility of a 1964/1980/2008 style victory for Dems in 2028? The answer is: put Stephen Miller in charge of everything. And guess what?
