For What It's Worth Buffalo Springfield youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?... 🎧

Good morning and happy ‘I’m Not Watching the SOTU’ Day to everyone. How the fuck did we get here?

I can’t stop thinking about how the HHS Secretary of the United States of America went on the news and bragged about doing coke off toilet seats and do y’all remember when Bill Clinton had to pretend like he never inhaled weed because it was a massive nationwide scandal? Wtf are we even doing here

The only question left by the Supreme Court decision on tariffs is: What the fuck is wrong with Thomas, Alito, and Kavenaugh? The Constitution could not say more clearly that only Congress has the power to impose taxes. Can't those three justices umderstand a simple, direct English sentence?

Hard to read the news. Jobs report is bad (you have to know "they" knew this was coming), ballroom debacle is national security?, passing the buck on "affordability." All I want for Christmas is human decency, taking responsibility, and digging in to do some hard work - like my parents taught me.

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

Wow, Indiana! Way to remind everyone about what matters in a democratic republic - integrity.

Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

I really hope there's a national boycott of National Parks on Trump's birthday.

This is why I’m cautiously optimistic — in the long run.

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! 👏👏👏 Dems on the Oversight Committee launched a tracking system “to hold the Trump Administration accountable” for ICE/DHS fed abuses and misconduct. View what’s been documented so far or submit a new report: bit.ly/tellonice #TellOnICE #StopICE #ICEwatch #ICEraid #50501Movement

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Terrific

Billions for Argentina’s Wall Street investors. Higher costs for American families. “America First”? Give me a break.

Trying to decide whether to use my invisible tariff check from Trump or my invisible cost saving rebate check from DOGE to fill the tank of my car with a 500-year loan with invisible $2/gallon gas . . .

We could be twins. I feel the exact same way, also pretty much ever since 2016. I left what was still Twitter shortly after Musk bought it because I had to save my sanity. Rejoined the crazy - by means of Bluesky - and it's harder than ever.😞 Pace yourself. Moderation is key. It's hard but doable.

Watch @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring victory speech. This is the future the Democratic Party must embrace. Turn the volume up.

We've got you 👍

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Feeling this song today. One of my favorite JT songs. music.youtube.com/watch?v=5RYH...

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

blight (noun): something that spoils or has a very bad effect on something, often for a long time This word needs to come back into fashion.

@meidastouch.com Anchorage, Alaska!!!

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours. Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

What "war" in Portland is Trump talking about? The battle of mellow artisans?

If you want to honor a man who disparaged Blacks, that's your right, & I won't interfere. However, don't you dare try to force me to honor him too. I have as much right to choose who I honor as you do.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

"Yes, you can legally be racist." - The US Supreme Court, 9/8/25

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states. This is completely unhinged.

Re: massive DC protest and those who doubt: Maybe this rally will be THE one to open the eyes of a voter; move people to rise up, be vocal, vote, be part of something, see what the fuss is about. We can't change Trump; we can change ourselves. As a child of the 60s, I've seen social momentum work.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

youtu.be/1HAPGl-KPi0?... Close to perfection

If you know me at all - here, elsewhere, or irl - you know how important I believe it is to understand history. That it’s being perverted in this way and for this reason is obscene.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

"They win when good people give up; when they become too tired to push back..."

TMNT was right… 🐢 🐈‍⬛

How difficult would it be for the reporter to say, "Mr. President, you nominated Mr. Powell to be the Chair of the Federal Reserve."?????

When times get tough, I turn to music. We were lucky enough to have been raised in a home where our parents surrounded us with messages of grit, hope, and speak out. youtu.be/wfVdY2-aIog?...

"I see the sorrow in the headlines And the worry on your face I guess it's no fun to have a heart While we are living through these days"

Vote.Them.All.Out.

People across this nation largely oppose this nightmarish bill. Polling is horrible, with multiple surveys showing nearly 60% disapprove. Let’s be clear—if this bill passes, it’s because the Republican Party has abandoned us to serve Trump’s regime, its billionaire backers, and themselves.
