Hakeem Jeffries outplayed Mike Johnson. Susie Wiles is sending out warning signals via Vanity Fair. The Republican Party in the White House and on Capitol Hill are being outmaneuvered in real time.

Hazie's, a San Francisco restaurant co-owned by celebrity chef Joey Altman in Hayes Valley, had quite an eventful Saturday night. A video showing a couple assaulting employees at the restaurant has gone viral on social media, racking up over 780,000 views.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

AOC: We're looking that there could be a cycle where R+10 seats flip to Democrats. And so if Republicans want to draw a map that makes them more vulnerable to that, that's their decision to do that. Raju: Do you think there will be a blue wave? AOC: I think so.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

This is great.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

ICYMI: There appears to be 20 House Republicans that will be leaving in about 2 weeks.

James Talarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren't defunding our schools. Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends. We are focused on the wrong 1%.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

Minnesota Somali fraud is the same old bigot crap. Same hate, different day.

The end could be closer than we think. Looks as if he's finding it difficult to walk. Watch his feet.

Love this book. Has completely changed my view on cars and my relationship to them. Great Christmas gift that will make your loved ones (or yourself!) think. Get it!!!

You know what's worse for America than what Reganomics was? Felonomics. Tyson eliminating jobs in Texas and Nebraska. Will cause small local businesses to lose money which will cost jobs. This is what decades of slowly gerrymandering states, and faux news brainwashing ppl has caused. #SheShed

I voted for @aftynbehn.bsky.social and you should, too! Today, tomorrow, or next Tuesday - get out and vote if you’re in D7!

This is where we are right now. It’s NOT okay.

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

California is here for the long haul. While the Trump Administration makes this country unrecognizable, California remains a stable, reliable partner in the fight for a clean energy future.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Wealthiest church in the country‼️ Over $250 billion‼️ This is a VERY TELLING ISSUE‼️

Our tremendous victory last night leads to the word of the day, loyalty.

Last night’s results raise the question: is a new Democratic Party taking shape? @simonwdc.bsky.social

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Allison Helms made this short documentary about my run for town council. I think it captures running for municipal office in a small town. It touched me, there is joy in this process. Anyway, it is under 5 minutes and Allison did amazing work. vimeo.com/1127421399?s...
