The drink is called Stop Yelling At Us

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

I refuse to stop insufferably posting about Florence’s new album but holy shit, does this song hit me to the core. Just a pure, achingly honest and brutally vulnerable song that caught me in the right place at the right time. Absolutely no other notes.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

If they caved after 24 hours: - no SNAP lapse - no shutdown RIFs - No ACA subsidies Cave at 40 days - restart SNAP - Reverse RIFs - No ACA subsidies How is this anything but an abject failure in both policy and messaging?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

🚨NEW FLORENCE DAY 🚨 AND THIS ALBUM IS A BANGER

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Happy birthday to Laurie Metcalf! Loveeeee her

I’d like to report a murder

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

@daveplotkin.bsky.social was the first hire we made on my mom’s 2018 campaign. He was one of the most talented, kind, and creative political communicators I ever got to know. And his loss hurts my heart so much. May your work, your life, and heart live forever. Rest in power, sweet friend. 🤍

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it. The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

thered be calls for impeachment if a dem did this

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I cannot stand this chickenshit response by the Democratic Party. Either @schumer.senate.gov stands up to Trump-Musk or give up his seat.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The world is burning but my husband @jlh710.bsky.social and I are FINALLY booking our honeymoon - a Mediterranean cruise over July 4th AND our birthdays! Bye America!!!

Today marks exactly one month since we launched our campaign for Orlando Mayor. It’s been an exciting four weeks and today we’re thrilled to invite you and yours to our Campaign Kickoff hosted at @the_beacham on February 24th. Learn more at AnnaForOrlando.com/kickoff.

They should have called it ViewSky instead of Flashes

Tons of people are downloading the Chinese version of TikTok, RedNote. It has an even greater connection to the CCP. I said this would happen when I voted NO on the ban. Banning TikTok is not a real solution to protecting our data + many small businesses will be harmed. Pass data privacy laws!

House GOP have developed a bill that gives child predators and pedophiles the ability to ask little girls about their bodies and ask for physical inspections. All of this to try and ban trans people from sports! It’s disgusting. Parents don’t want this.

climate change is REAL! global warming is REAL!

when you've lost the former White House press secretary (!)

It is entirely plausible that El*n M*sk becomes House Speaker, and we aren’t talking about it enough. Think about it. Shit’s getting insane, and we aren’t even into 2025.

Elon Musk: Doing to congress what he does to tesla drivers: trapping us inside and setting us on fire.

I have known AVE for the better part of a decade, when *I* became involved in progressive politics. It should surprise nobody I endorse her with my whole damn heart. Orlando deserves more heroes. Dr. E will be one. I pledge all of my love and support to Anna Eskamani for Orlando. GFW!!!

“i’m a horrible texter” says the chronically online poster

Orlando, this morning, I will be filing to run as your next Mayor. I am honored for the opportunity to lead our incredible City Beautiful into the future! For press– we’ll be holding a media gaggle at 8:30am outside the steps of City Hall. Onward!

Ryan Murphy is calling up Cooper Koch as we speak to be the united healthcare killer

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

This interview @chrismurphyct.bsky.social gave is really good stuff. Talking about the lane we need to pivot into, and the way he explains it is perfect, while necessitating where Democrats hold the ljne and resist. youtube.com/watch?v=hF9O...

IT’S DECEMBER!!!!!

It’s December!

It isn’t really Thanksgiving until you’ve put on Christmas Vacation to bookend the evening

I would set fire to the building

I am once again sharing my opinion that green bean casserole can and should be a year-round side dish

“stop bouncing your leg” bro, i have anxiety

Oh…. Wicked is Avengers Infinity War for women and gays

Oh fuck, they let go of the Bluey balloon!
