It’s the obvious orchestration that really gets me. Schumer obviously managed the votes so nobody up for election in 2026 had to vote to reopen.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

The sole disappointment today is that I wish I saw signs commenting on the Supreme Court. Never forget that it’s the Roberts court that is giving Trump his crown.

Downtown Portland. Today was my daughter’s first protest. We didn’t make it through the entire march, but I was proud of her.

Again, it's very weird how everyone--Democrats, Republicans, media, everyone--just pretends Republicans can't just eliminate the filibuster and past the CR today.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Something that’s always amazed me about the strip is how Trudeau has characters in place to respond to just about anything happening in the world.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Our era in a nutshell.

Oliver North is three degrees from Jim Morrison.

One of the things that makes me miss New York.

tragedy farce tragedy farce tragedy farce tragedy farce

Cut to the Supreme Court using the shadow docket to rule that ICE may deny all access to Room 101.

@smith.senate.gov Just wanted to thank you and your staffers for calling out Mike Lee.

Good thread from someone in Portland. She’s absolutely right about the political complexity and weirdness of Portland.

There’s a non-trivial chance Trump will demand Manhattan be turned into a maximum-security prison from which nobody can escape.

From @mjtoma.bsky.social. I wish more articles about Musk put what he’s doing in such stark terms. For all the destruction, the outrage has been muted. newrepublic.com/article/1947...

We should all take a moment to thank Jon Chait and his ilk for spending years warning us about how the left is the greatest threat to free speech on college campuses.

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

but her emails

Democrats: please take advantage of this. Don’t wait to see how it polls just do it.

I plan to try, as much as possible, not to begin articles I write with: “In [month] [year], [person you’ve never heard of] [did something prosaic, like flying into a city or putting on a coat and leaving the house or opening up a web browser].” We’ll see how that goes.

I really wish Albini could be here to experience the strange turn US/Canada relations has taken.

I read things like this and wonder why any non-American would ever set foot in this country, unless it was an absolute necessity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I see no news reporting on this, but when I enter his name in Immigration and Customs, I, too, see that someone with this name was detained.

I’d really like to know why @schatz.bsky.social, of all people, is a yes vote.

This.

You don't even have to be high-toned about the common good or whatever, just go with "You paid for these services and they're taking them away"

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

@erikloomis.bsky.social Can you explain what’s going on here? What game is O’Brien playing? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

Sly Stone is alive. A real Mandela Effect moment for me.

If you want to know why Trump is able to rule like an autocrat, compare the Washington Post' coverage of the Saturday Night Massacre with Trump doing exactly the same thing

This is a great piece of writing from @vermontgmg.bsky.social and should be read by everyone. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Worried about a fascist takeover? This sheet-pan paella will make you feel like you’re in 1930s Spain.

NPR’s coverage of the air disaster is atrocious. Paraphrasing (but not by much): “President Trump is blaming the previous administration for lowering standards for air traffic controllers. We don’t know if that’s true, but there was a push to hire people with different [pause] attributes.”

Holocaust Remembrance Day is a "wasteful government DEI program"

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

This is pathetic. Read the room.

Rep Claudia Tenney(NY-24) has an office number where you can call her to explain that yes, people in California donated to recovery efforts in North Carolina, and her slander of the people of an American state as unfeeling monsters is disgusting in the middle of a disaster. (202) 225-3665

It is difficult to get a person to understand something when their dopamine levels depend on not understanding it.

I'm sorry, this has to be one of the coolest things I've seen

Many things will be written about the L.A. fires in the coming days and weeks. It’s possible some will be dumber than this, but I doubt it. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Start the new year with one of history’s greatest musical performances. youtu.be/P8f-Qb-bwlU?...

.1 percent through the year and I’ve got nothing to show for it.

In a small way, this is a big deal.

This is wise.

BLOW THIS UP! Striking Amazon workers picketing outside an Amazon warehouse were greeted by a torrent of water in freezing temperatures from Bezos. These mega corporations & billionaires will stop at NOTHING to stop us from organizing. Fuck that! We stand with WORKERS. #SolidaritySeason
