I say “oh, jeepers” more often than any alive person ever should

We don’t need rewatch podcasts. They just serve as a reminder that we used to make great television, but now we are just trying to get as much blood from a previously created stone as we possibly can

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

What we need. What we have.

Speaking of anxiety, I cracked my night guard in half last night

Just take Seema and the hat and give them their own spinoff and call it a NIGHT.

No matter who you voted for, you should know that last night Republican members of Congress voted for a budget that kicks nearly 14 million Americans off their health care while giving billionaires a tax break.

Anytime Dems run a campaign like they did in the past, we get crushed. The “experts”are people who ran insurgent campaigns that no one thought would be successful. Carville? Plouffe? They each won once and not again. David Hogg is right - innovate and purge the old, stale ways

If we are thinking of sending US citizens to foreign prisons, never to return, maybe we should start by sending one particular 78 year old avid golfer

Now we know Chuck Schumer isn’t the leader for this moment. It was suspected before, but we’re sure of it now. Senate Dems should have a moment of reconsideration and emerge with a new leader now

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Democrats won a Minnesota state House special election Tuesday night — restoring a tie in the chamber and ending a monthslong power struggle in the Legislature.

Broadcast this everywhere

Standing up for our freedom is fundamental to the American spirit, and this gives me so much hope.

I don't know if she's doing this cynically or naively and I don't particularly care, but it's remarkable how much of American intellectual life has become a litany of powerful people having the same epiphany over and over but refusing to do anything about it.

Against all enemies, foreign AND *DOMESTIC*

Should I keep trying to build an audience on this app or make eye contact with my family?

The first reaction to this news should be concern about the future of voting by mail www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year. Good riddance. He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I missed this earlier today: one of Michigan’s two Republican justices announced her retirement today. Gretchen Whitmer will appoint her replacement. That will likely bring Democrats’ majority on this key court to 6-1.

And as a flying individual, I’m frankly petrified to get in the air (which I have to do for work)

Ok well they changed the White Lotus theme song? OFF TO A BAD START ALREADY

Yeah let’s pull Black History Month, Pride and other events off the calendar like they don’t exist. How fucking stupid

There isn’t anti-Christian bias in America, there’s anti-Jesus bias in American Evangelical Christianity.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social You should get on this.

Ready to go to Maine myself and boot that awful woman out

More of this. We need press on everything Dems do and they need to physically do it. Leave it up to the younger members to understand this

Mexico’s president got Trump to agree to gun control (!) and people on the right think it’s a win for Trump. LOL.

For those farmers and farm adjacent folks that voted for Trump, what you’re about to feel re the tariffs we warned you about. Don’t pretend ya didn’t know

My best friends live in Canada. They’re two couples, one in Vancouver and the other outside Toronto. Now, not only are relations between our countries fraught, but flying isn’t even safe to visit each other. I fucking hate Donald Trump so much. I don’t think I’ve ever hated someone so. Damn. Much.

Posting posts is good but this would be a great time to check out your local LGBTQ pride center and find some way to become a patron and a friend to them and their membership

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

One of the most disorienting things about the RFK hearings was seeing Cheryl Hines sitting calmly behind him. Oh and also every fucking thing that came out of that guy’s idiot mouth. Also disorienting.

Concur with this thread! I’m a democrat and I’ll say it: this all happened on Trump’s watch and we are less safe every day he is in power. This is a horrible example of things to come and it’s been 10 days. Trump’s job is to keep us safe, like it or not, and he has no idea what he’s doing

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

This is exactly how I feel. And I’m still in a state of mourning over the possibilities of what a Biden presidency could have meant had he stepped away after one term and let the Dem field primary and select a new leader

This OMB directive seems to have woken some Dems up. Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Dems, all but told his colleagues to own their power as lawmakers or go home. “What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the U.S."

And we need to hold him to account every god damned minute

There’s never been such a Bush administration-feeling place as Nothing Bundt Cakes

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do. You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

REP. MCGOVERN: “I don’t ever want to hear about law and order from your side again.”

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

We need Kamala Harris to stay in the forefront. What she means to countless Americans can’t be put into words, and she’s too talented to stay out of public life for long

While I would have loved to have her as our president, I’m happy to welcome her home to LA
