Yo. Democrats. Remember how Obama showed you a new way to bring hope to your base and get them to vote in droves? Here's the (new) new way. Get with the program or get out of politics (this is not a demand, but a prediction).

We could have had TWO boring wonk Presidents who kept everything chugging along normally but because they were girls we hired evil old guy, befuddled old guy, then EVIL BEFUDDLED OLD GUY someone make it make sense it will never make sense.

it’s getting harder as I get older to like steely dan purely ironically

This is extraordinary. The government punished this PhD candidate because they did not like the things that she said. The judge says she must be released immediately. Thanks very much to Anna Bower for this incredible reporting. Voting has consequences.

I'm listening in on the Perkins Coie hearing in DDC. (I made it onto the call!) Judge Howell is just recapping where everything is at - 3 pending motions, she hasn't ruled on sections 2 and 4 previously, so she's going to focus on that.

This kind of thing is a disaster. News consumers should demand, with their votes and their dollars, healthy, independent news sources.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is as right about this as he is about garlic powder:

I'm not Catholic but this statement by Pope Francis hits hard: "Today's builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell,"

David Brooks calling for a mass uprising was not on my bingo card.

The S&P 500 has lost almost 14% since January 20th. Less than 3 months, a seventh of its value, gone. Only the vultures will benefit.

Anyone who thinks their dog is smart should watch it play with a stick that is too big for it. So ridiculous.

Tom is right. That U.S. soldiers were not harmed by this insanely careless behavior is down to luck. We will not roll sevens every time.

I remember when a First Lady's attempt to get kids to eat just a little healthier sparked a giant backlash from the Right. Now RFK Jr. is proposing far more intrusion into how you and your children eat. There's a difference here. I wonder what it is?

Imagine how Maggie Haberman feels getting double ultra super scooped because Jeffrey Goldberg has Signal on his phone.

Reposting with a gift link. This article is bonkers. But her e-mails, indeed. Shocking breach of national security and everyone involved should resign and have their security clearances revoked. Change my mind. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Ok folks what are we doing here. This appears to have broken so many laws. Like, so many.

If we force the United Kingdom to choose between Europe and us, they will chose Europe. Canada might move toward China. Our other allies will push us to arms length. This public airing of grievance toward Ukraine, which was brutally invaded by Russia and has been very brave, is a mistake.

The exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today in which our country attacked the victim in defense of a brutal aggressor has to be one of the most shameful moments in Modern American history.

When choosing among multiple courses of action, choose the kindest one. It's not altruism. It will just work out better for you.

some bigots will try to point to the “moral failures” of civil rights activists throughout history, but what I actually think is beautiful and inspiring is that the folks who fought for civil rights were not gods with some unearthly power and moral purity; they were people just like us
