Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

I'm very happy to report that thanks in no small part to the diligent efforts of @90for90.bsky.social, I raised a stunning 10x AS MUCH for Dems in Sept. 2025 as I had in Sept. 2021! Cumulatively, I've raised 4.8x as much this cycle as I had at the same point 4 yrs ago...and 3x as much as 2 yrs ago!

so I guess Qatar bought or more like rented a nato membership

A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

Staff members at the NIH seem to have done the impossible: spend the agency's $48 billion budget. “Everyone has been rallying together to clean up the mess, but it’s a mess that did not need to be made,” an NIH program officer told me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The last shutdown was in Trump’s first term, from December 2018 to January 2019, when he demanded that Congress give him money for his U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump retreated after 35 days — the longest shutdown ever — amid intensifying airport delays and missed paydays for federal workers.

Short passage captures so much so lucidly. Gurri’s point captures the essence of what was missing in Klein’s Biden age stuff. degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/you-don-t-...

Completely agree on this

Small point about the coverage of Hegseth’s stupid convening: Trump has not “renamed” the Department of Defense something else. He *calls* it that. If I started calling the president “Adolf,” one would not say that I had “renamed him Adolf.” He has no more authority to rename DOD than I do him.

I wrote a few things today about the White House having departments and agencies sending out those emails blaming Dems and the HUD pop ups message etc. Clearly Hatch Act illegal, totally predictable. But a number of people have said this is the problem with the Ds messaging. We’re hearing all …

Fix this @apnews.com.

Haven’t read the piece yet. But it may be he best description I’ve heard of Klein generally.

lol

Why would any legislator vote for a budget the executive will ignore? In that situation, a yes vote conveys one thing and nothing else: validation for the White House’s blatantly unconstitutional actions.

This run-down, the headline, the visual, the description are all pretty good.

Senior military leaders are, overall, very smart Nearly all are broadly experienced, around the world. They have spent their careers in orgs more representative of the whole US than most corps, law firms, finance firms, univs, media orgs. They have learned to judge character. And honesty.

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard. www.rawstory.com/trump-milita...

HHS, SSA and DOI employees have all gotten a highly partisan email blaming Democrats for impending shutdown. From a quickly eyeballing they all appear to be identical. So clearly they come from the White House.

DHS Had a Program to Stop Political Violence. Trump Largely Abandoned It. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/dhs-had...

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.

big day tomorrow. the thing is, I like having my work collected in print. It’s been part of what I do, my whole career. And due to a combination of factors, I have been without a publisher for five years. That’s too long.
