The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

People are complicated. Legislation often involves aligning the complications into a shape that passes a bill.

If you havenāt watched Lawrence OāDonnell today, you need to go do so immediately I gave as much detail about the Epstein vote as I knew, but he has more, and Schumer deserves even more credit than I was already giving him

Has anyone written about the ways that some online neurodiversity spaces put pressure on parents to homeschool? (And/or to put kids in special education schools rather than mainstream classrooms)?

Letās be clear: Trump changing his tune about releasing the Epstein Files isnāt about justice ā itās an admission that he and Republicans are going to lose this vote. Iāll be voting YES on legislation to release the files and give the American people transparency.

Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to levy taxes and tariffs -- not the President. There is finally a bipartisan movement to reclaim this authority and end the costly and chaotic tariff wars ā and we cannot let it die in Speaker Johnsonās hands.

This is true, that said, I've watched this happen a lot, with BLM and Pride where key organizers or organizations have unleashed unhinged antisemitism and the 99% have just kinda stood by, and as a Jew you're left going "okay but is the person next to at this protest an antisemite?"

Sure enough, there had been some confusion. They were referring to a popular meme and having a bit of a joke. I had snarkily pushed back, not knowing the meme. Apologies were made, posts were deleted on both sides. I think "block and move on" is generally good policy but sometimes it's complicated.

Earlier, I read a post here that seemed to be attacking me and, somehow, all men(?). So I blocked and moved on. But then I thought, this is so weird that maybe either I or them might have gotten something wrong? Misunderstood? So I unblocked them, quote tweeted my confusion, got a bit snarky....

every time this happens people start going "what about this, huh" and getting suspended too, so may I recommend not doing that at this point everyone should know what the policy is and "I'm going to go right up to what I think the line is and poke it with a stick" is asking to get got

Grijalva just signed the Epstein discharge petition. It now has the 218 signatures necessary to start the clock that will, in a few weeks, trigger floor votes on the underlying bill to require release of the full Epstein files.

Itās hard to believe now, but Republican politicians used to care about things other than obstructionism, destroying the government, and staying in office. They donāt have to be like this now. Itās a choice theyāre making.

Right, we are here because Republicans are trying to hurt people. And also worth noting that the people you're mad at now the outliers in the party at the moment. The larger D caucus is pissed.

Where I am, for what little it is worth, is that the defectors were in fact defectors, and they blew the political opportunity. But we were not on the verge of extending the enhanced subsidies unless you can think of a way to get *House* Republicans on board.

A lot of people are conflating the ability of senate Democrats, the minority, to inflict political damage to Republicans by holding fast on the shutdown, and their ability to extract immediate and powerful policy concessions.

Folks really do need to understand that there may have been multiple ways to lose this one but there wasn't really a way to win it, because truly winning went off the table until at least 2026 in 2024.
