The people that will support this are the same people that were in the Tea Party in 2012 and that is just bonkers.

I’m not an expert in diplomacy or anything but it seems to me that bombing your opponent to influence negotiations is not likely to move the needle toward compromise.

Super weird that agencies that have never had difficulty recruiting top tier candidates are all of a sudden struggling to fill their ranks, just very strange

So is there like an objective or are we just kind of winging it

Things will never get better here if we don’t cut out the cancer at the heart of our politics and our wealth.

When I was elected to our local school board it was made extremely clear to me that if we accepted any gifts valued at more than $50 the Oregon Ethics Commission would essentially hunt us down and have us executed.

RIP James Vanderbeek, you were the pride of Drew University.

The only bad part of this halftime show is that they are in Santa Clara no matter how much Bad Bunny and everyone else keep saying San Francisco.

The song is literally called American Idiot

It’s not a troubled newspaper, it’s owed by the second richest man on earth who could fund it forever and not notice the cost. This is an intentional self-inflicted wound.

As a school board member, if my district leaders did this they would be looking for new jobs.

Every day some new depravity that would be the end of any other presidential administration in history.

“Military grade intelligence tactics” is an amazing way to describe basic community organizing

What we don’t have time for anymore is cowards

Just a reminder to anyone who still expresses sympathy for billionaires that Jeff Bezos could fund the Washington Post at full staff for the rest of his natural life and he wouldn’t even notice the money was gone.

I am losing my goddamn mind

Cossacks and Nazis and everything seems very familiar these days

They are making sure he has zero access to reality.

These fucking people have the same emotional maturity of a child who gets mad at his friends and takes his ball and goes home. They are destroying the Kennedy Center because the cool kids won’t play with them there.

Seems bad?

They tore down the east wing of the White House just wild

Kind of silly to sightsee in San Francisco when the Super Bowl is an hour away and essentially in San Jose

We weren’t there with the kids today but we very well could have been. There is no middle here, this is a moral wrong.

Starting to think it’s not just a wild coincidence that Jeffrey Epstein was best friends with every single person at the upper echelons of politics, business, and media.

Not Catherine O’Hara.

If they succeed in nothing else, these people have certainly succeeded in destroying any sense of honor or decency that was ever associated with the United States government.

This is an unconstitutional executive slush fund intended to effectively nullify congressional oversight once the Dems take back the house and senate. This is treason territory.

Bring back the vuvuzelas!

Jew here, and you can absolutely compare what is happening to immigrant children to what happened to Anne Frank.

Trying to imagine the reaction from the right if heavily armed Ecuadorian federal police tried to raid the American consulate in Quito.

Leadership we are sorely lacking.

Not a coincidence that both of the Democratic lawmakers attacked this week, Ilahn Omar and Maxwell Frost, are black. The worst people in America are emboldened and they are losing, and they know it.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I said this every day at swim practice and got rejected so jus learn to deal it with it Megyn

Don’t threaten me with a good time

A tale as old as time.

Much of my choice of who to vote for in future democratic primaries will hinge on who is more persuasively dedicated to sending this guy and his pals to prison for the rest of their lives.

Bovino leaving Minneapolis so he can get back to his first love, playing commandants in Holocaust movies.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Every one of these will move us towards the end of all this, but we are nowhere near the end of all this.

Hard to just keep doing normal life things amidst all this.

My mom was one of his middle school teachers and I came of political age in Gavin Newsom’s San Francisco and let me be the first to say lol, lmao even.

Fun story about Lori Chavez-DeRemer, she would never be the Labor Secretary but for us primarying and beating Kurt Schrader, the worst Democrat in Congress, and the DCCC yanking all the campaign funding in retaliation, handing DeRemer one term in Congress where she became a MAGA darling.

Hope all you folks east of the Rockies are ready for that snow and ice, here in the Pacific Northwest we are bracing for lows in the mid 40s and some light rain. God speed.

Or maybe Republicans should take this as a sign that not only is he crazy, he’s ineffectual and deeply unpopular.

It is not going away until there is the moral courage in Congress to make it go away.

Honestly asking, as a very lowly elected school board member, what is the point of running for elected office if you just abandon your values when you get there?

Too much news!

If you haven’t watched Mark Carney’s speech at Davos, you should.

If the news is too much for you today I impaled my thumb on a fork trying to take a tangerine out of my little work cooler so be glad that your existential pain is not coupled with the humiliating physical pain that I am enduring.
