Oversight Dems need to stop using the “flash transition” In their video cuts. That’s Accessibility 101. @robertgarcia.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @eleanornorton.bsky.social @rokhanna.bsky.social @gregcasar.bsky.social @repshontelbrown.bsky.social @frost.house.gov @pressley.house.gov

Trump - vassal to both Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

This thread is the (failed) Miller Lite case for Xitter.

TBH, Ben Franklin wore it way better.

Beauty and the Grief. IYKYK

In 2013, Donald Trump sued Bill Maher for $5 million after Maher challenged Donald to produce a birth certificate to prove he isn’t the "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan."

I’ve been invited to testify on what the House calls “Court Packing: A Threat to SCOTUS’s Legitimacy.” Drawing on research w/ Daphna Renan for our book, Supremacy, Congress has the duty—and all the tools it needs—to protect our Constitution from judicial supremacy. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Donald Trump should have been arrested on January 21, 2021, imprisoned, and banished from society.

More evidence that we are at an inflection point in the war, and I suspect historians will treat the last several months as the moment when the tide of battle swung back in favor of UKR. I doubt more mobilization will significantly change that for the Kremlin, and certainly not quickly. 1/3

TBH, you’re going need to be a Democrat for a good bit longer than today because there’s not going to be space for a new loyal opposition party until your old neofascist party-its works, it adherents, its functionaries-are completely expurgated from our polity.

And yet who is it again That recently purchased a Tesla cyber truck claiming they needed it for the safety of their family? When it’s one of the least safe EV’s out there?

Twitter made a lot of people feel important. Many of those people confused this with Twitter being important.

Some new, bad-for-Texas-Republicans research just dropped. "Our findings indicate an exhaustion issue with Republican voters... We cannot afford to simply hope that they’ll show up on election day for us."

No, It’s Really Not a ‘Race to the Bottom’ on Redistricting talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/no-it...

Finally the solution to the Strait of Hormuz closure. The Navy vessel that’s so small the Iranians won’t be able to find it, much less hit it with anything.

A colony of harbor seals has set up house at one of the the entrances to our local marina.

Talk about “unnatural.” Those frames. Those hoops. That hair. Those…caterpillars. 😂

Did not take long for some of the gloss to start peeling off of the Magyar. Placing demands based on “ethnic minority” rights is how Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia & Putin Transnistria, Abkhazia & South Ossetia, Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk… Hungary can’t occupy land but they can blackmail.

Michael Tracey still living the humiliation of being mocked for the way he squealed and begged during while being arrested as a college student; believing that a”fight” in a ring surrounded by wimmins in buhkineez wi finally masculinise him.

The Fallacy of Relative Privation is doing a lot of heavy lifting amongst the those poor beltway insider lives, and their corporate media colleagues share it sympathetically, imagining “What if I’d been there…?”

Did you know @xavierbecerra.bsky.social was one of only 67 congressman to vote against the Defense Of Marriage Act in the 90’s? That's on record. Which he has. Because he's put in the work and has experience. And experience matters. Spread the word.

You know what's more secure than a big new ballroom? Prison.

I think perhaps she meant “the guy who is an adjudicated rapist & for whom, along with his good pal Epstein, there exists 100s of reams of evidence that he is a child rapist and torturer. Not to mention all the crimes against humanity &corruption. Pretty sure that’s what she meant to say anyway. 🤷‍♂️

IDK. Is “spar with” the correct word choice here? I can think of two or three options at least, all of which, while not family friendly, would triangulate with the fact that “reporters” sacrificed their integrity to be sitting at tables in that ballroom tonight.

Poor Clara’s getting quote repost ratioed in this one too. Not nearly as bad yet, but the quote reposts are a good read. She might better have grabbed a couple of the bottles of wine off her table on the way out, gone home, turned off her phone and popped those corks.

Seriously the quote repost ratio going on here is epic. IDK what the opposite of doom scrolling is, but whatever it is, that’s what all be doing all night, reading the 1,700 and counting quote reposts, because it’s that good.

Christ, now I’m gonna have to unfollow and block the handful of apparent wankers I follow, because they unironically reposted this wanker. 🤷‍♂️

Funny. But seriously, we still have an entire spring, summer and fall to yet through while trump’s Strait of Hormuz Inflationary Act does its damage. Any poll bump from this will vanish faster than you can say “trump’s cankles.”

Uh…. Nope. It’s been a couple hours now and still not regretting. 🤷‍♂️

Does “lying on the floor laughing to death” count? Asking for a currently out-of-breath friend.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Democrats would be wise to start telling us that the next President will not be able to wave a wand and fix things in 4 yrs. State clearly we will need decades to fix the damage and first priority is to contain AND PROSECUTE the perpetrators, every single one. But do not promise the Rubes a miracle

Because nerds are sports fans too.

Wouldn’t it be nice if both Ukraine and the EU restricted airspace for flights coming out of Hungary, until it was clear that Orban is in custody and under indictment for some of his many known crimes.

Reported in Russian media today: Every third entrepreneur in Russia wants to close or sell their business. The optimism index has fallen to a minimum - more than half expect the situation to worsen in 2026, while many companies' revenues no longer cover their expenses. 1/2

If I’d spent days trying, I’d still never have come up with a better metaphor to illustrate Putin/Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. #NAFO

I’m leaning towards the idea of a new political party that just might get traction in a way most 3rd parties don’t. The Guillotine Party.

Ok. That is pfunny . Proof that history is filled with pfun.

Perhaps they should all wear chastity devices. 1) Just as subtle;2) sends the same message: “Yes SIR, whatever you say SIR!

This is probably the one and only time I’ll ever think Laura Loomer is right about anything at all. And I know she’s only saying it because she thinks it scores her point on Kristi Noem.

This is one take from @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social A better one is that local organisers are highlighting the issues relevant to their communities, by nature of speakers they’re inviting. Generic national, specific local b/c the center-left isn’t a racist MAGA-like cult. www.ms.now/opinion/no-k...

Well I’m interested in that too. If we’re going to do this monumentally stupid thing of knocking off one theocracy at the behest of other theocracies, they should at least pay for it. They won’t, ofc, just like Mexico didn’t pay for the wall & other countries didn’t pay for tariffs. We did/will.

Gosh, why’s that? Maybe b/c trump looks at Putin and is insanely jealous. Poot has a country w/ half the population and a GDP placing it 4th behind CA,TX or NY. trump sees that & thinks if he could emulate Poot w/ the US pop&economy, he’d be way more important, rich & powerful. Trump’s jelly is all.

@abra-cagouglas.bsky.social won’t allow “rando” responses; if she did, someone would have told her that if she’d read the article, she’d learn the upset person didn’t buy a plane ticket. AA has been running this bus service to O’Hare since 2018. Woman wasn’t paying attn to what she was buying. 🤷‍♂️

As a mixed Ancient Apocalypse couple who has only been married 11 years, why did my elders not teach me this earlier?!? I spent 2 nights in the guest room just last month because I didn’t keep my mouth shut when he did a rainy PNW Saturday AA marathon.

Wife is watching a ”documentary” on Netflix and out of curiosity I Googled the author/narrator and HOOOOO BOY he’s crazy and widely ridiculed but she is enjoying it so I made the decision not to say anything because I have been married 29 years next month and I learned things

A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

NYT doing what the NYT does: carry water for the trump regime and republicans by fretting over faux inadequacies of the democratic and progressive majority.
