We are set to cruise with 11 family members in less than 3 weeks. I think we need to be ready to cancel, depending on what is happening. Masks indoors for certain, even if things look better. I have no trust that we are monitoring exposed people appropriately. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/o...

If Lindsey Graham is introducing a bill to have taxpayers pay the $400,000,000 for the ballroom, where did all of those private donations go?

The past terrifying week has caused me to wonder: How the hell did we get here? And how do we change course? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-how-the-hell-did-we

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii

I absolutely love this idea. I am curious about logistics, though, if people may need to work weekends or care for someone at home. How do they get those voices in the room? No Shy Person Left Behind www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/o...

I mean there it is.

This description hits so true. People, especially overseas, ask why we quit focusing on events. This is why, along with the fact that our system was not designed to deal with an awful president at the same time as an ineffective Congress. Gift link in comment—

"Donald John Trump, the man who once bragged about his inauguration crowd to the point where his own press secretary had a nervous breakdown on day fucking one, has finally drawn the biggest crowd in American history."

WTF? Musk gets to participate in official talks about the war? WHY? Because he has investments in the ME? How do we know Musk, Trump, Kushner, etc, won’t make more money if the war continues? Who the hell is looking out for us? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

Trump pardoned 77 people this week that stole from Medicare. This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.

It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sunshiny day throughout the United States today! Happy No Kings III, y'all. ❌👑

As millions protest at No Kings this weekend, the Trump regime is violently cracking down on people exercising our 1A rights. As a human rights lawyer, I share 13 things you can do to better protect yourself and your community from Trump's goons. No paywall. Please share.

🚨 Breaking: House Natural Resources SHUT DOWN over Don Jr. Subpoena! 🚨 We know Trump and his family are lining their own pockets with corrupt government deals. But, when we tried to subpoena his Jr. to answer questions today, Republicans shut it down. ⬇️

I’m showing up for No Kings Day on March 28th because in this country, the people lead, not a single ruler. Democracy only works if we show up to claim it. Our voices carry the power; let’s use them to shape our future together.

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

There is nothing the US will gain that comes close to what we have already lost in this war.

This is a hugely entertaining read with all the elements of a ridiculous crime comedy, including a Russian enforcer and the mom who tells the press she is very proud of her son when she bails him out of jail. The only downside is that it’s true. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/u...

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war. You are the only person in your government saying this. WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?” PEDOrump’s answer: “Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

The idea in Washington and Tel Aviv that bombing Iran will somehow trigger a popular uprising is not strategy, it’s wishful thinking. Bombs can degrade infrastructure. They can weaken capabilities, but they do not manufacture organized political alternatives. 🗽

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

Maureen Dowd summed up how I feel so perfectly today in the NYT: “It seems etymologically, metaphysically, geologically and ethically impossible that President Trump could reach a new low. But he has.”

The Republican primary ads in Texas—geez, they are vicious. These folks are double, tripling down on disgustingly cruel issues while trying to suck up to Trump. It would be lovely if all of that backfired.

Fellow Texans: here’s a reminder to keep contacting law makers and encouraging others to do so. I feel like I’m spitting in the wind, but it only takes 5 minutes to email Cruz, Cornyn, and Weber. Of course, emails to Cruz hardly ever seem to go through.

Texas, we’re going to have to push to educate friends and neighbors and get them out to vote. The commercials running for “MAGA Mayes Middleton” for AG are sickening. He will be a younger, better looking Paxton, which means he could be around long enough to do a lot of harm.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

I challenge all federal legislators to volunteer anonymously for 6 days in 2026 at a food bank or homeless shelter. You get bonus points if you apply and work as a substitute teacher in public schools. No cameras, no special name tags, no special jobs. Just meet people.
