People seem to be forgetting that DOJ doesn’t just “get” an indictment. They have to convince a grand jury to vote to return one, something this administration has struggled with recently.

One of my grimmer post-2024 election theories was that electoral success was tied to ANTI-deliverism, that people actually hate it when you make their lives better and will always punish you for it

So of course they’re upset at this book. Harris is not writing for them. She’s writing for other Black women in leadership.

🧵So many people will die as a result of the election of Donald J Trump. The United States is weaker for it, domestically AND globally. Stop punishing your most likely allies, while leaving our shared enemy unscathed (and because of the current climate, I’ll just add that I am speaking FIGURATIVELY).

Excellent. Greetings from VA-01. Let me show you around my home state.

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

Why are people screaming at a private citizen to do something about Gaza? She’s not in the White House anymore. Meanwhile, the President was in New York, as well. What power do you think she has now?

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Score another one for science AND access to needed health care!

You ever go to leave and drop an “I’m outta heeeere,” a la Doug from The State and realize there is nobody around who is going to appreciate the reference?

The Vice-President is looking to start some shit. That’s why he’s just going to declare motive and ideology before getting the facts. Most irresponsible, reckless administration ever.

Helps to try just not being Nazis.🤷‍♂️

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

What's bothering me is that our foreign adversaries are watching all of this and planning accordingly. They *will* use social media to incite more violence. Be careful engaging with people that are suspect.

vance really does stand out for his absolute contempt for anything that looks like forbearance and generosity. his immediate instinct is always to demagogue and issue calumnies against his fellow americans.

You left out the part about how your Big, Beautiful Bill cut $137B from rural health care. I know you’re gutting the Education Department, but don’t worry, I did the math for you: -$137B + $50B = -$87B

I was just reminded of this doc. And OMG, how can I ever forget Patrick J Pespas?

Jamelle’s writing is just outstanding. He is so damn clear AND concise about where we are. I hope you are reading, watching, and listening to his work.

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Jeffries: The government is scheduled to shut down on October 1st. The House was scheduled to vote and be present in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29th, and Tuesday, September 30th, in advance of the possible shutdown. And Mike Johnson has said, stay at home. That’s ridiculous.

Maybe if the Cubs win another World Series, it would help restore whatever broke with their 2016 win?

Danny Ayalon, Israrli Ambassador to the USA "20 yrs ago President Clinton arrived with PM Barak & PLO's Arafat. I warned Barak this maybe nothing more than a photo-op. Despite entering into negotiations, Palestinians still took anti-Israel resolutions to the UN & incited violence against Israelis. ⬇️

👏👏👏

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Donald Trump loves to talk tough, but when he has to actually lead, negotiate, or deliver—he runs away. He runs. He hides. He ignores. That’s not strength. That’s weakness. This is going to be Donald Trump’s shutdown.

Uh oh! Now I’ve been put on an anti-AI List! 🤷‍♂️ Guilty as charged.

Why haven’t they called with my copy, yet! #107Days

“Frankly, part of the problem we have in terms of the punditry, is to suggest that we are waiting for a Messiah. It’s counter-productive to keep saying ‘who is the one’ instead of seeing in-front of us how RICH we are with talent - and let’s support that.” - Kamala Harris on the Democratic Party

We’re clearly in really great territory when we’re cancelling things because of the palpable fear of violence from white supremacists, and OF COURSE the White House is scrubbing reports on white supremacy being a significant domestic terror threat. Just great work.

"Yes, in a bold act of bureaucratic bravado, the Trump/RFK jr. CDC has decided that telework—the lifeline, liberty, and legal right for the medically infirm—is simply no longer “reasonable.” The perceived threat is of disabled workers with internet access. 🤬 www.blueamp.co/p/the-cdc-de...

We’re so used to getting right wing messages, we don’t even notice them anymore. But what do you think ALL those anti-abortion ads that dot the roads between cities are all about?

lol🤣 Idiots. An anonymous UN official said the escalator in question was actually stopped prematurely by someone from Trump’s group, who ran ahead of the group and accidentally triggered a stop mechanism, and the teleprompter that Trump was so upset about was also being operated by his White House.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%. Trump won't even meet with them. He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families. What a bad deal for America.

It’s on us to let people know how the Big Ugly Bill will impact them. Because it will NOT make their life more affordable.

Hakeem Jeffries is about to leave and the question stops him. He declares that the proposed Trump/Republican budget CR is a "dirty bill, and a continuation of failed policies. We do not support it."

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats because the reality is clear: we have the stronger position. All we want is to keep the government open AND claw back some of Republicans’ health care cuts that will make YOUR premiums more expensive. Trump can’t face that, so he’s hiding instead.

Here’s my grandfather at the signing of the FAIR HOUSING ACT So hearing of it’s gutting by this administration is a little personal

How we doing today, Bisexuals?!🩷💜💙

TODAY ARIZONA!!! Special election! AZ07 Adelita Grijalva for Congress. #Vote #AZ07 #AdelitaForCongress

Go ahead and ask Americans if they can afford a 70% hike in their health insurance premiums right now. See how that goes. It’s a crisis in the making that we’re TRYING to avoid, but Trump is refusing to meet with us.

Donald Trump has never used my name during his presidency. Now he is afraid to meet to discuss the Republican healthcare crisis and pending government shutdown. Why is that? Sincerely, Hakeem Sekou Jeffries

Liking the person involved does not stop AI from being harmful. It’s hard to get people to understand the harms until it impacts them and the whole thing is frustrating.

🤣🤣🤣

It. Was. Never. About. The. Economy.

The New York Times does a 24 paragraph story on Larry Ellison buying up new and old media properties and doesn't so much as HINT, anywhere, at the obvious goal of leveraging this properties to conduct right wing information warfare, or that this kind of consolidation is bad for the public

MELVIN: The president repeatedly did say though that he would end the war on day 1, and we are some 250 days into the administration MARCO RUBIO: Yeah, but that's not up to us to end the war MELVIN: Repeatedly on the campaign trail he said he would end it on day 1

You. Thank you for being here. You who practices kindness. Who practices generosity. Who practices love in action. I appreciate you. And please reserve some of that kindness, generosity, and love for yourself.

So that thing on Sunday was pretty much a national Klan rally, right?
