"Marco Rubio, we salute you!" A real thing that was said by the CBS Evening News anchor tonight.

Sure would be nice if some House and Senate Republicans could grow a pair for once and call out this madness for what it is. But it’s not like the GOP has had values for a while. It’s Trump worship up and down — or those too cowardly to speak out. The rot of the Republican Party runs DEEP.

Sure would be nice if Dems had respective leaders in both the Senate and House who don’t regularly speak in word salads. 🥗😒 Speaking like a human being and not a parliamentarian robot would be a nice place to start.

Finally got to the end of Heated Rivalry 🥵🥹🥲 But honestly, it was the end of Episode 5 that took me out 🥹🥹🥹

I always clocked Andrew Yang as a simpleton but this is still embarrassing relative to my already extremely low perception of him

this shit is so cringe but it’s been hilarious to see that the only things Bari has done as CEO are 1. try (and fail) to kill 60 minutes CECOT piece 2. panned Erica Kirk interview 3. cringe flagposting the modern conservative movement is just affirmative action for unqualified morons like Bari

Finally getting caught up on Heated Rivalry and it’s 🥵🥵🥵

Comical, @wsj.com.

Last stop before heading home to D.C. tonight. Been a fun trip back to the emerald city but I’m ready to make the trek back eastbound.

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Republicans’ willful ignorance of battery tech is truly a head in the sand sight to behold. 🤦‍♂️ Even without batteries, offshore wind will still be critical for meeting in the moment energy demand as we see demand for power skyrocket.

The vibe I'm cultivating for the holidays TBH. 😆

Sounds like something the center right American Conservation Coalition should be sounding the alarm on -- if they have the guts to stand up to Trump and Republicans on this. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

It’s been entirely too cold so far in late November into December in D.C. 🥶🥶🥶 I don’t know how you folks in like Boston and Chicago put up with worse than this on the regular and for longer.

From the party that supposedly hates the nanny state, they sure like to tell folks what to think and do when they’re in power. Just a vindictive, petty bunch of hypocrites in this Trump and GOP admin.

the MAGA vision for society involves a completely hollowed out administrative and regulatory state providing subpar, at best, services and benefits with shoddy replacement services offered to select Americans based on the whims of billionaires looking to launder their reputations

Current vibes in D.C. 🥶☔️ Truly few worse things than cold, steady rain (temps are in the mid 30s). Garbage weather.

Cowardice from my alma matter - and tbh it’s pretty embarrassing to fold to Trump at this point; he’s wildly unpopular and politically toxic!

Republicans are trying to kill solar but failing

Important context to keep in mind -- LOTS for Dems to learn about how Mamdani got his message out there and the way he did it, but the same focus of campaign being widely adopted elsewhere? Probably not.

lol omg

Young people feel like we've lost agency over our lives. We can't *really* pick where to live, or whether to change jobs, or how many kids to have -- the cost of living makes us feel trapped. Younger candidates can powerfully speak to that emotional truth. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/young-c...

Amtrak's annual ridership was up 5%, hitting an all-time record high of 34.5 million rides nationwide over the last year. Amtrak Cascades also hit a record high, reporting 1.4% growth and coming in just short of crossing the million-ride mark for the year. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/11/24/a...

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

The crazy thing is Republican members of Congress gave away their power and now they’re mad that they gave away their power. Like Trump didn’t do this to you, you did it to yourselves

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Opening up an offshore area more than HALF the size of the entire US to oil drilling *during COP30* combines the admin's ongoing ignorant anti-science policy with a frankly absurd degree of pettiness

Yeah that's really key here. Market price parking, keep some for maintenance and beautification, give the rest to transit.

I will say, I do love living in D.C. very much in spite of this 💩 presidential admin. We’ve got: 🔹 The best metro system in the nation Ⓜ️ (thanks, @wmata.com — and sorry, not sorry NYC) 💁🏻‍♂️ 🔹A beautiful, walkable city that also BUILDS🚶‍♂️🏗️ Very happy to be here in my long term home. 🙂

With just one race left to call (ballots are still being cured), of 222 races up on 11/4, @runforsomething.net had 142 winners, 10 candidates moving to run offs, and 42 (!!!) red to blue flips.

Back and operational after some tinkering after WMATA updated some of its coding. 🥹

Another consequence of putting Republicans and Trump in power -- didn't have this problem under Biden a year ago, that's for sure. But tariffs, massively pulling back on federal investment, etc. -- it all adds up to a piss poor job market.

Subsidies for me, but not for thee. 🤬 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Always great to hang and catch up, my friend! 🙂

🚨BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah court struck down the GOP-controlled legislature’s congressional gerrymander and a companion law designed to entrench partisan power — restoring a fair map for the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

On a more positive front... SCOTUS told three time divorcee Kim Davis to kick rocks and we love to see it 🏳️‍🌈 🙌 bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! SCOTUS DENIES ATTEMPT TO HEAR CASE TO OVERTURN GAY MARRIAGE!!

NEW: Democratic activists, potential candidates for president and House Democrats erupted after eight Democrats crossed over to end the government shutdown. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Note that none of these folks are up until 2028 (not by accident) — but that these folks didn’t push back shows exactly who is spineless in the party. Including Tim Kaine after a blue tsunami in VA this past week — like really?!?!

Moderate, dead weight, OLD Dems again for some stupid reason. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄 Primary the hell out of ‘em, folks — especially Schumer who led on all of this. 🔥🔥🔥

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

The myth of Trump as unbeatable and a perpetual winner is just that. The GOP struggles when he's not running, and there's no evidence his personal popularity carries over to other R's. 2026 is shaping up to be a massive loss for the GOP.

The worst people are having a bad night. You truly love to see it.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates. If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years. Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Zohran Mamdani will become the next mayor of New York City. (NBC News)

What is this feeling…so sudden and new? 💙💙💙
