Let’s be clear: If we allow a former president to completely avoid accountability for inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government, we will be inviting it to happen all over again.

Prosecute Donald Trump.

@JRBuckley @juddlegum Yes, it is about destruction of public education. This has been a goal of the Right Wing for a long time. They’ll use any issue at all to make it happen. The focus on #LGBTQ right now is just a convenience for them. Public education, done right, teaches critical thinking skills and provides enough knowledge to bootstrap the process. This is antithetical to the conservative mindset which emphasizes control and conformity. I’m PROUD my kids were INDOCTRINATED by good public schools! I can’t say that I agree with all their ideas, but my kids (now adults) are really good at justifying and explaining what they say. That is something conservative religious schools will never produce.

So when are the Florida schools going to ban the Bible in school libraries? That is certainly not fit reading for children, by the DeSantis administration's standards!

I'm actually making a serious point here - if the classroom book bans ever go to trial, a real case could be made that it is predjucice to allow the exact same content that would get other books banned just because they are considered a specific religion's "holy" books. But what happens if the other books that are being banned are declared as "holy" by some other religion or denomination? Say the Metropolitan Church decides to canonize all those books that DeSantis wants to ban - now he is not only interfering with freedom of speech, but also freedom of religion. You can't say the Bible gets a pass because it is a "holy" book (assuming any court would even go there) unless you are ready to start splitting hairs about exactly what constitutes a "holy" book.

And all this might not be a big deal in the public schools - some of them may not have any Bibles in the building anyway - but it sure as heck would be a big deal for those charter schools that DeSantis and his ilk love so much, as well as all the traditional "Christian" schools. If some court rules that all THOSE schools had to remove the Bible from their classrooms and libraries, suddenly the right might decide that book-banning is a really bad idea (or they might be okay with banning the Bible, which might still be a win for the kids who are being indoctrinated).

Musk and his minions have reinstated the account of one of the nation's most prominent bigots. This is not remotely surprising to anyone who's paying the slightest attention.

I remain surprised, and disappointed, that so many people in the journalism world still choose to use that platform -- knowing that they are supporting people who want to see the U.S. become a right-wing dictatorship.

Journalism has options, but most journalists ignore them.

What time is the Garland press conference announcing a Special Prosecutor to investigate Mike Pence taking home classified documents?

Every day that passes without an apology from the New York Times for its atrocious 2016 campaign coverage -- and a meaningful description of how it will do better -- is evidence that the "Paper of Record" remains broken in one of its most important functions. There is a fundamental arrogance to the institution, and a relentless insistence on business as usual in political coverage.

If and when democracy falls, the New York Times will have been complicit.

In case anyone is still wondering, yes, there are going to be classified documents found in various locations for all living former US Presidents and Vice-Presidents, at least.

Gov't principals have TS doc teams they travel with, portable SCIFs, etc. Humans will make mistakes.

But we will find only one of them intentionally took, kept, and lied about TS docs and Presidential records. Only one will be at the center of a decades long hub and spoke conspiracy that fits like a glove.

Comey never accused Hillary Clinton of being uncooperative, hiding emails, or refusing to turn documents over. He called her "extremely careless."
