Quick response after the tunnel fracas between an officer and South Carolina players

normal things happening

Dream collaboration! @reblavoie.bsky.social, did you see this?

A nice balance to all the shitty news this morning

I'm not a doctor, but holy crap...

@reblavoie.bsky.social I just remembered to look up Taylor's All Too Well SNL performance, and OMG! Thanks for the recommendation!

Whistle up Charlotte.

My friend Akbar Ali who is in a runoff election for State House is being targeted with Islamophobic attacks just because of his name and faith. When hate and lies are used to divide us, silence isn’t an option. With that, I felt the need to call it out and shine a bright light on it.

How these people still consider themselves journalists is beyond me. The whole job is to hold the powerful accountable. Period. Even if you’re friendly with them. Which, in fairness, happens because we are all but human. That doesn’t change the job.

An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations. They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump. Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

@inbetweenpod.bsky.social @reblavoie.bsky.social Hey, I'm listening to Something's Off in my car and Mel's mic is so much lower than Rebecca's that I have to keep adjusting the volume. Can that be fixed? Love you both!

@democrats.senate.gov you are weak.

Happy 250th birthday to my Marine brothers and sisters. Let us never forget our past bravery & grit, so that we may rise to the challenge again & crush the fascists who have returned.

Thanks to @mostmuscle.bsky.social www.opensecrets.org/orgs/america...

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

The procedural vote stands at 59–40, and the Senate is waiting for John Cornyn to get to the Capitol from Dulles

The 8 Dems who surrendered: @SenAngusKing @timkaine @SenCortezMasto @JohnFetterman @SenatorDurbin @SenatorHassan @SenatorShaheen @SenJackyRosen

Thank you, @ossoff.senate.gov, @ossoff.bsky.social.

Let him have it.

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

This Senate deal is political malpractice. Americans like me will be burdened with health insurance that is not affordable. If the Democrats doing this deal think that it is for voters like me, they are wrong. What a failure of imagination and leadership.

Fts

Cave once, and history will make you pay twice.

I am one of your constituents, Sen. Ossoff. I left a message with your office. Please do *not* do this, @ossoff.bsky.social @ossoff.senate.gov.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

I agree.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Welp, that’s the Senate side of the shutdown over, it seems.

The new CR would run until Jan. 31, 2026. It includes one surprise provision - which would reverse all of the federal job cuts (RIFs) made by President Trump during the shutdown.

NOW IS THE TIME TO CONTACT CONGRESS! NO CAVING! CONTACT THEM NOW HERE: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I left a message.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I just … can’t get myself to give two shits about gender politics. Are you happy? Great. Lemme know what to call you. I might slip sometimes because I’m old but I’m gonna keep trying because I can grow.

Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all who celebrate.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Love him or hate him, Dick Cheney was VP of these United States. His passing would've prompted any other POTUS to respect the office and order flags at half-staff. Not Donald J. Trump. So here in the Deep South, state facilities have lowered their flags. Everybody else is like...meh.

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

The chemtrails over Atlanta are crazy this morning! Cue the conspiracy theories after yesterday's blue wave.

A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

Also when we *checks notes* don’t exactly come together

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Congrats to @abigailspanberger.com , first woman to be elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia!

Tonight should be a good reminder to Senate Democrats they better not cave.

(🚨) With the Zohran Mamdani win in New York City, we can now say that Trump and his Republican Party won a total of ZERO of the major candidate races on Election Day 2025. It was an utter blowout. (Some ballot issues, including a key one in California, have not reported any votes yet.)

ZOHRAN MAMDANI

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
