"One grotesque video shows gun-toting agents in tactical gear storming buildings in nighttime raids. It is accompanied by the King James translation of Proverbs 28:1: “The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.”

Lifted from "Pulp Fiction" and the Samuel L Jackson character spouting biblical verse before shooting a couple of hapless mooks. Nothing like Life imitating Art.

Is anyone bringing suit against Musk for all the damage he's caused to the government and to so many resources that belong to the American people? It seems like any of us could be plaintiffs in a case like that? Would his employees also be culpable?

This debacle falls squarely on Republicans. That HAS to be the message for 2026, not Trump did or Elon did or Blondie did or ICE did or even John Roberts did but rather Republicans did.

DIGE was never about fraud, waste and abuse. It was about implementing Project 2025. By that metric, it was highly effective. Ghastly costly but highly effective

The odds of R voters being put off from voting in significant numbers is wishful beyond any historical support. So can we stop wasting time wondering whether now is when it will finally happen?

It’s quite as silly as the lefties’ belief that they don’t have work to acquire power but instead wait for workers to be so pressured by ever growing abuse from capital that they rise up and overthrow the system.

As long as the Schumer/Jeffries/DNC wing control what remains of the Party, fecklessness can only be overcome by a bottom-up rejuvenation of this rotting, fetid carcass.

Of course.

Needed is dominating number of progressive candidates beholden to Republican special interests running and getting elected (latter of course is on us). Only thing that will change the party.

"In the meantime, can we talk about how the MAGA figures turning against Israel are saying things that have gotten foreign students detained and universities’ funding cut off?"

Yes, yes, yes. This has really set my hair on fire this week. The hypocrisy is sickening, however expected it may have been.
