Good to have the facts.... apnews.com/article/trum...

Donald Trump is turning America into a sh*thole country. What a heart-breaking tragedy.

I just watched this 80 min interview by Ezra Klein from a month ago. I've been an admirer, but my respect for Ezra Klein soared while watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa_P...

Cheap, clean energy is the path to stronger growth, lower household bills, and lasting prosperity. We need elected leaders who are prepared to win the future and keep America competitive for generations to come. I am committed to doing my part.

This!

Democrat Adelita Grijalva won the by-election of southern Arizona. Once sworn in, the Democrats will have 214 seats to the GOP’s 219. She will be the 218th signature on Massie's bipartisan petition demanding a House vote to release all unclassified Epstein’s files. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

This is worth a watch and a listen. Succinct and powerful. www.youtube.com/shorts/Oustp...

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

I wonder how many things Donald Trump has done this 2nd term that are clearly impeachable offenses.

Here's hoping. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleepi...

Someone recently said that Epstein's estate probably has a trove of videos and documents that are the Epstein files and that the estate, which released the birthday book, might well release the other files. Would someone please ask the Epstein estate to release the Epstein files?

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended for his comments about Charlie Kirk. He was suspended for the threats to disapprove a corporate merger unless he was taken off the air, threats that came from the Trump administration .

My wife introduced me to this YouTube video. It's wonderful. Apparently it's also now a podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I_D...

😥😥😥

See ya, Hulu.

Bill Cassidy behaved today as he should have behaved during RFK Jr.’s confirmation. The problem is that now he can’t unring the bell. His actions in confirming Kennedy and convincing others to do so has already caused irreparable damage to science and public health in the United States.

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

I stand with @jimmykimmel.com 💯🗽💙

America and Americans are too strong to be cowed by Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Their assaults on decency and on our system of government "by the people and for the people" will not stand. These are dark days. We must do what we can to make tomorrow a brighter day.

Hiding the truth.

#AZ07 needs a leader who will celebrate everyone and knows our diversity is our strength. If you aren't aware of all that @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social has already done in her 20+ yrs working for Southern AZ - please educate yourself. Her experience makes her ready on day one in D.C.

WIN: The Utah Supreme Court has refused to bail out and revive the GOP legislatures’ gerrymandered congressional map. The 2021 map stays blocked and lawmakers must present a new, fairer map by Sept. 25. www.democracydocket.com/cases/utah-c...

OK, here's a blatantly liberal idea. People who do harmful things are often people in pain. Once we've intervened to stop the harmful behavior, the next step is to understand the perpetrator's pain and help them find a way to end it. This works in relationships and it will work in politics.

Latin America & the Caribbean consistently register the highest homicide rates in the Americas, & among the highest in the world... But, paradoxically, the perpetrators respect the schools because the violence comes from organized crime, not from people with mental health problems like in US...

It's good to see that the mainstream media has become frank about what we're experiencing. apnews.com/article/dona...

Authoritarianism thrives on fear and intimidation. But courage is contagious and people are standing up everywhere against the onslaught.

We need an anti-Fox News network that tells the truth and strongly appeals to people with less education. Anyone know a TV news exec I could talk to about this?

In the long run, CO2 emissions will devastate the planet even more than Trump. We need to elect leaders who will solve this problem. apnews.com/article/phyt...

Ezra Klein to Democrats: It's time for forceful action around (dis)continuing govt funding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3-0...

Sinner & Alcaraz, tennis stars, so gracious at such a young age. Much different from some of the top players in the 70s & 80s. Gives me hope for the future, the sense that young people today are more emotionally mature than past generations. Thanks, guys.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

Continue supporting Ukraine! Russia will be defeated!

Henry Clay of Kentucky speaking in 1820 about his opposition to Andrew Jackson for the presidency: “He is by nature a Tyrant.” His tendencies “have always been to consider the law and his own notions of justice as synonymous.”

Romney won 59% of white votes in 2012, beating Trump's tally in 2016 (57%), 2020 (58%) and 2024 (55%). While the MAGA minority loves Trump, he’s won mainly due to Republicans’ allegiance to their party. We need to win over 20% of Rs - without compromising - to gain a supermajority.

We need a nonconservative with $$ to fund an anti-Fox News network that tells the truth and strongly appeals to people with less education. That would be a huge gift to our country and the whole world. What a legacy that person would leave.

American voters nationwide are split roughly 50/50 between Ds and Rs. To build a 60/40 supermajority and an enduring consensus about how to govern ourselves, we need 10% of voters who are now Rs to become consistent Democratic voters. That seems doable, if we can find acceptable common ground.

There’s an open spot on this pack. Claim it. Everyone who reposts will be vetted for next one so even though only one person gets this spot, you’ll likely be on next one. go.bsky.app/4J6wKo8

In The Politics of Resentment, Katherine Cramer notes this correlation between surveyed constituent opinion and U.S. senators' votes: Lowest 1/3 by income = little to none; middle 1/3 = somewhat, but just by the Ds; wealthiest 1/3 = substantial. This is plutocracy, not democracy.

To succeed politically, Republican candidates must sign the Norquist pledge not to raise taxes. Voters should require candidates for Congress or a state legislature, Ds & Rs, to sign a pledge of support for a constitutional amendment to get big money out of politics. How can we make this happen?

How about a political movement dedicated to informing and following public opinion? 1) Get ongoing input about citizens' concerns 2) Inform them about widely embraced potential solutions 3) Learn their preferences 4) Rate elected officials for responsiveness 5) Publicize it all 6) Repeat endlessly.

For an immigrant from Canada, this took courage. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/a...

"Following the Leader," a 2014 book by David Lampton, relates how China's leaders after Mao's death embraced a market economy and lifted their people from poverty. How different from Russia, whose leader has enriched only himself. Why do Republicans support Putin?

Economists' measures of a society's financial well-being, i.e. total and per capita GDP, are inadequate when income inequality is rampant, like in the U.S. Economists should develop reliable measures of the standard of living that people with different income levels are experiencing.

In polls voters repeatedly say 1) their top concern is the economy, by which they must mean their financial well-being, and 2) Rs manage the economy better than Ds. Yet for 30+ years, almost all income growth has gone to the wealthy, most of whom back the Rs, who reward them with tax cuts.

Democrats must figure out how to win the votes of the many working people who identify as Republican, including those who live in rural areas and those who have less education. Democratic policies are better for working people wherever they live. Ds just need to make voters aware of this.
