[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Senators should refuse to vote until this happens

[Eric Beermann @faceonmars23]

@JoyceWhiteVance They absolutely should, but it's almost as if it was by design to rope the Senate in further.

Instead of in for a penny, in for a pound: it's in for a quarter, in for 25 pounds.

It's akin to exacting "compound interest" on a descending ladder of cognitive dissonance.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 federal agencies.

Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.

Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

Keep paying attention.

@AmbJohnBolton You know better. He doesn't act in good faith.

@mattgaetz Why don't you just cut to the chase and give the Chinese our nuclear codes?

@lisamurkowski Will you buckle to the trolls in this thread?

@MarshaBlackburn @AdamSchiff @PamBondi Senator Schiff did his duty and spoke the truth.

On the other hand, you might as well be an agent for Russia or China IMHO.

@SykesCharlie Clowns with flamethrowers.

@rparloff Trump will drop the case against his co-conspirators the minute he gets into office, so why don't they just drop it now and release the entire report?

I get that the appeal is important, but let's be practical in the same way Judge Merchan went after what is actually possible.

@KenBurns @PBS Do you mean 1/16?

[Eric Beermann @faceonmars23]

@StarLightningEx Astounding, indeed! As much as I have grave concerns about AI (currently reading Nexus), I'm curious how it might extend upon OED?

Looks like an interesting book. I wonder if we'll ever move past greed before we destroy everything. How many bones can one dog actually possess?

[Eric Beermann @faceonmars23]

@StarLightningEx The evolution of language and words is fascinating! I recently read The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary (Winchester) ... it was an excellent window into such.

@RepClayHiggins "Do not stand in our way"?

All that is missing is a long black trench coat!

@StarLightningEx Interesting.

A paid subscription service could work, but something of this potential magnitude and contentiousness would nonetheless attract subversive elements to throw grenades into the soup of the system itself & strongarm the platform on the legal front. Still ...
