BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

Queen shit

So close to tic-tac-toe. Let's go C and/or C.

Starting back on GLP-1 meds for the third time. They work quite well for me but sticking with them through the side effects is quite difficult. Maybe I'll have made some progress by election day

NEW: CNN reports that E. Jean Carroll is being criminally investigated by the DOJ, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.

August Pfluger serves his wealthy and powerful donors, not the people of his district. When I'm in Congress, getting corporate and billionaire money out of elections will be one of my top priorities.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

A country that can feed the world should be able to feed its own people affordably. Instead, monopolies and corporate middlemen keep driving prices higher for regular Texans. We can build a fair economy again, but only if we stand together.

Who was president on January 6, 2021? It depends who you ask.

Grew up watching Letterman with Mom, so it was nice to get to watch this last Late Show with her as well. It feels weird to see it go off the air though. I was 3 years old when it started with Dave.

Fuck you, CBS

MAGA, the world's weakest, most brittle, fragile, porcelain teacups, brayed against cancel culture but continue cancelling anyone who offends their fickle, decaying King and Daddy Donald Trump. Colbert will be remembered well. Trump? Not so much.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Feel like the number of households that scrambled to turn off the Byron Allen thing the second it came on post-Colbert could be record-setting.

A democracy weakens when the media suppress expression to stay in regulators’ good graces. Stephen Colbert’s decision to hold his ground is a reminder of how essential individual courage can be.

Gonna have Hello, Goodbye stuck in my head for days now. #Colbert

More Stephen Colbert singing please.

These transphobic and anti-muslim ads from Mayes Middleton and Chip Roy are ruining the last episode of Colbert.

Dear Stephen Colbert, You may be no fan of dictionaries or reference books, but we're fans of yours. ❤️ -The Wordinistas at Merriam-Webster

Cybertrucks absolutely have a 'wade mode' and every owner should try it

Should be home from the @basinyoungdems.bsky.social meeting in time to change into pajamas and watch the last Late Show.

Today's group chat gem:

You almost have to feel bad for John Cornyn. Almost.

The people growing our food aren’t the ones getting rich. Monopolies rig the system so a handful of corporations control prices, land, and livelihoods. Texans deserve fair markets that work for regular people again.

Tonight's #GameChanger was probably one of the best episodes so far. Granted, anytime I get to see @legaleagle.tv is a good time. @dropout.tv

What the heck is Citizens United? I explain the legal implications of the Supreme Court ruling that had huge implications for money in politics. The bottom line: It will take all of us-- heading to the polls and electing candidates who want reform-- to fix this.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, sausage, OJ, and a $1 tip for the waiter

Texas Democrats! I'm looking for endorsements for my run for re-election for SDEC in CD-11! Fill out my form here if you're able! #txdem forms.gle/GSpESADD3JLm...

Really wish I could go viral on BlueSky. I created an app that merges Mutual Aid with Black Businesses: on the app, you can shop Black Businesses on 1 app, all Black Owned conveniently under 1 roof. On the same app you can see people struggling with overdue bills/rent/evictions etc & give them aid.

LFG! “The train’s next stop will be in Seattle where it will enter final testing before welcoming customers onboard.” www.railwayage.com/passenger/in...

You won't catch my ass there. If I really need to, I'll fly nearby and take Brightline.

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.

Stay classy BBC 🙄 They couldn't make it plainer that demeaning trans women is official BBC policy

Had an endoscopy and apparently was Snapchatting with @joshtutt.bsky.social while coming out of the anesthesia. Only one of us knows what I was saying and it wasn't me 😂

Y'all truly should check @claytontuckertx.com out if you haven't yet. He's the real deal. I've known him for years and he really just means what he says. He'll be a great AG Commissioner but we need to get him there first.

This month's meeting has been postponed for a week, as our President has a scheduling conflict. We will see y'all on Thursday, May 21st at Midland County Dem HQ! RSVP here: mobilize.us/s/dxn7V9

In a response to the long-debunked "retail theft epidemic," the House voted 348 to 60 for a bill that would exacerbate mass incarceration by sweeping more low-level crime into the federal system and exacerbate the criminalization of poverty. TY to the 59 Democrats who voted NO (see below).

Buses and rail. The fact these were ever flights was a massive policy failure

Newsomism

There's some early work going on for a transit/urbanist caucus for the Texas Democratic Party. Let me know if you might be interested!

Accidentally bought the eBook, but I picked up the paperback at #NPC26. I heard great things about it at the conference and I'm looking forward to reading it! I just need to get past the ADHD. 😂

Now that I have my account back, I wonder if I ran into any of y'all at #NPC26 in Detroit. I had a wonderful time at my first NPC and hope to go again soon. I'll have pictures to share later

After like 6 weeks, I got my account back! I shudder to think what the people who got into my account posted. The last notification I got was a reply that said something along the lines of "I wish I didnt have eyes".

I'm so glad I found gay planner Bluesky

Probably already said this, but I'll be going to my first National APA Convention this year. Any of y'all going?

Turning 50 today has us feeling a bit nostalgic. 🥹🤎 It’s been an honor of a lifetime being America’s Metro system. 🚇🚍🚐 Here’s to the next 50 years! 🥳
