Wild that @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social didn’t think this energy was important to get behind.

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

A digger vehicle is seen tearing down the east wing. A drill is going into the wall and roof which lie broken around the ground.

NEW: Remember when Trump said his new ballroom wouldn’t interfere with the current White House?

This is the current view of the East Wing.

A demolition.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Republicans won’t come back to work because we can now force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Meanwhile, folks' insurance is skyrocketing because they refuse to extend healthcare tax credits.

They’re putting Pedophiles before the American People.

Pope Leo, after Trump critique, urges Catholics to help immigrants Pope Leo urged the world's 1.4 billion Catholics on Sunday to care for immigrants, pressing ahead with a message of welcome for migrants days after criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's hard-line anti-immigration policies.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

And when it comes, the racists who caused it will, once again, blame immigrants for the wreckage they themselves caused.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

For an actual public servant.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Yep. Normal politics died on November 5, 2024 (if not sooner). I'm deeply skeptical of the idea that voters who pulled the lever for Trump when he was clearly an insanely self-destructive choice will make better decisions next time around. Hope I'm wrong though!
