An unprecedented threat to democracy
“It was a remarkable moment in modern American politics: The House speaker amplifying Trump’s defense and turning the Republican Party against the federal and state legal systems that are foundational to the U.S. government and a cornerstone of democracy.”

Joe Biden Is Not The Lesser of Two Evils. He’s the Far Better Human.

Just for the record, I was seriously nervous when that brown bear sow came up to join that cub. Like, primal fear, nervous.

"Representative Lauren Boebert’s eldest son appeared in court today, May 9, to announce whether he’s scrounged up enough cash to hire a lawyer to represent him in his felony theft case, or if he's decided to get a public defender — neither of which he's figured out yet, to the judge's dismay."

"Now both Trump & MAGA Inc., a super PAC that backs him, claim that Biden is backing a Michigan program that they say provides rent to undocumented immigrants. That’s also false. The subsidies in question aren't available to people in the country illegally."

Welcome to this millenia, Methodists. I'm not religious, or that impressed. The Episcopal Church has clergy of every gender, and they've been ordaining woman for about 4 decades. But, at least the Methodists have caught up with reality. That's something, I suppose.

Dreeben: And the perfect system that calibrates all of those values probably has not been devised. I think that the system that we have works pretty well, maybe it needs some a few ancillary rules. It is different from the radical proposal” of my friend who argues absolute immunity.

This isn't a fluke/good luck. It's zeitgeist! She took the public's temperature AND crafted a message that even Alabama can hear. She was vulnerable & shared about herself. She didn't pontificate. It wasn't about beating her opponent. It was relatable. I hope all Dems running are paying attention!
