So we all agree he’s a 2028 front runner, right? Not saying he gets the nom, but he definitely launches his exploratory committee after the midterms and spends at least some cycles at the top

As I've been saying, impeachment and removal will ultimately have to happen, and enough Republicans will ultimately be forced to support it. But if Democrats fear talking about it now, they will make the path more difficult, delay the ultimate outcome, and prolong the damage.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

And before you ask: - I think the partner abuse and his inability to take accountability for it is disqualifying - He is not a Nazi - Democrats have to win this seat somehow to have any chance at the Senate in 2027 and maybe 2029 - No I don’t know how to square those circles either

5/ Experts point to several factors for why it came back: 1️⃣Cattle smuggling outside control zones 2️⃣In early 2025, roughly 15,000 USDA positions were eliminated, and a USAID-funded monitoring project was terminated 3️⃣ The loss of specialized expertise as generations of entomologists retire

As a Dutch guy from Missouri, this account making this statement hit extremely hard

And this, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is why I’m with @jvl.bsky.social on expanding the court. This court will overturn any act of congress that attempts meaningful reform. The constitution says what these 6 members says it does. End of story

There’s a coordinated misinformation effort on the right about fraud in California. Nick Shirley and Chris Rufo is shouting about hospice abd Medicare fraud. They’re also going into Skid Row to find people they say are getting paid to commit voter fraud. The goal is to vilify CA and social services.

And I thought I couldn’t like this man more

Hate to lib out here, but even if there was some sort of clear, strategic goal, this would still be highly illegal and the president should be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

If anyone expects anything to change at this point, it’s not going to happen without changes across the board and that includes Chuck Schumer. We have real Democrats in the Senate. They have the power to change leadership at any time, and that needs to happen immediately.

Just once I'd like to see Schumer or Jeffries angry. Authentically angry. No elegance or solutions are necessary, but purely reactive or instinctive. Some indication that they feel -- that they are capable of feeling -- what we are feeling.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

We must stop funding DHS.

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I swear to fucking god mozilla, *everyone hates this idea*. Do NOT succumb to The Fear & the Monetization Disease. You don't need to have a "modern AI browser", at all, ever. You need to be th comany that respects user privacy, meaningful consent, & choice; the one w/ The Browser That Fucking Works

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

It’s almost like the private insurance industry is a corrupt system with perverse profit incentives that are antithetical to treatment and care of far too many illnesses. If only there was some other, say, “public option” to put downward pressure on them. Where have I heard that idea before?

"The AI industry’s most important product at this moment is not a chatbot or a video generator; it’s the story the AI industry is telling about itself.... According to an MIT study, 95% of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

People out here saying Mamdani is a threat to Jews, but saying the lady who literally claimed “Jewish Space Lasers” were controlling the weather is a reformed ally… You need to do some serious soul searching.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

As co-founder of the Stop Project 2025 Task Force, I take no joy in saying "I told you so." apnews.com/article/trum...

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Some of us do.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Furthest I’ve been: N: Helsinki Finland E: Helsinki Finland S: Oranjestad Aruba W: Juneau Alaska

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

It should go without saying, but apparently that’s not the case these days so: I don’t care if you worship Christ, Yahweh, Elohim, Muhammad, Vishnu, Shiva, Buddha, Zeus, Jupiter, or nothing more than the human spirit. If you support starvation of innocents as a method of war you are evil. Period.

We became the prosperous nation we are today because we realized, while still fostering a capitalistic society, that there were certain societal goods that would never be profitable and were therefore the responsibility of the government. No company would have built interstates. We’re lost…

I don’t want the NIH to be fucking profitable, I want it to cure cancer and Alzheimer’s

Anyone doubting we’re essentially mid 1930s Germany at this point is fooling themselves. This may not play out exactly the same, but it’s sure as hell going to rhyme. We all have to decide how far down this rabbit hole we’re willing to go before we stop being complicit

This is a meaningless trick. A court cannot violate rule 6(e), which prohibits public disclosure.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

No, wait, please don’t do this. We would be so owned. The most owned a state has ever been. Please. Don’t. Do. It. Tomi. (How do we make sure Trump knows how owned we would all be?)

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Only people who like punching themselves in the face would elect Ted Cruz

The stark fucking contrast of how absolutely absurdly ridiculously adorable and joyful this is compared to the frothing seething parallel universe of the national media/political establishment is goddamn ridiculous.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

I used to play pub trivia at a bar near LAX, and Norm MacDonald played there regularly (RIP). One week he brought David Spade in with him. The bar had a tiny little bathroom, and at one point I found myself crammed in there with DS as he washed his hands and just awkwardly told him "love your work"
