@Gambit_1 💯 A sad excuse for an American… but even sadder, not unexpected as a politician.

The GOP needs to shut the fuck up about government subsidies to green energy. We give billions to oil every year (about $20B) and they make trillions in profits. We are literally paying to kill our plant.

The GOP really will cut off its nose to spite its face. Even when a program benefits them, they still want to shut it down because Dems support it.

@Gambit_1 Perhaps many Republicans realized this could work against them in the future if the Democrats ever win the majority.
Damn Ohio, you really stepped up and said fuck you too fascism, for now. We can’t let up, but we can celebrate a little. This was huge! #cosopolitics

Judge Cannon is a good example of why life tenure is a problem for federal judges. She knows she has no legal basis to even ask about the use of an investigative tool outside of her jurisdiction. (And that's giving her the benefit of the doubt because it's worse if she doesn't know this). She's just trying to buy him more time. It's disgusting.
@Jezibaba: That's the thrust of it, yes. That's the thing about people in the present who look very obvious disasters and catastrophes of the past. They almost invariably look at it all, all of the multidisciplinary analyses of it that's happened over time, and said, "See, the didn't do it *right* back then" and/or "They didn't go far *enough*" and "We're smarter than they were", and then the do it again and get the same results exactly. Then in a generation or four it happens again.

@Gambit_1 I get that our forgetfulness is a survival tactic. It does not help us with shit like this. We have to keep the drum beats going, we have to keep talking about it, and we can't let them off the hook. I agree
@Gambit_1 no, not the emojis! Goddess save us all when he figures them out.

The recent peculiar Alito WSJ editorial page interview puts him in more trouble than many appreciate. First, obviously, it’s opining about a question that might come before the Court, which all the justices in their confirmation hearings tell us is wrong. That’s easy.

Judge: Why do you think you cannot get a fair trial in DC, Captain Capslock?
CC: I’ve been intentionally insulting DC and proposing ludicrous actions like federal takeovers, so I can claim they have a reactionary bias against me

US Treasury responded to my letter, confirming that it will investigate Ron DeSantis' use of Covid relief funds to cruelly transport immigrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard under false pretenses and without any consideration for their personal dignity or basic needs.
