My Statement on the United States Prisoner Trade with Venezuela and El Salvador:

I’m sorry, “yes we sourced a story using stolen personal data about a nonwhite politician brokered by a neonazi BUT the story illuminates the complex nature of racial identity” does not pass the laugh test

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Fuckaduck, Trump had Russian spies in NYC before the election and everyone thought it was just precious, then in the Oval Office right after inauguration.

Don’t drink and text.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

They are trying to thin the herd and return us to the life of Medieval serfs. Setting up a nationwide extermination camp.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Bless their poor little hearts.

It’s way past his jail time too. FWIW, exalting lawlessness is in a danger on the highway. Lawlessness has always been with us, but it’s so much worse now. YMMV

Cornyn was horrified by Trump and Vance’s behavior. But he can’t say a word because Paxton is about to primary him, most likely with Trump’s endorsement. So Ken taunts him and Cornyn will put political ambition over principle and remain silent.

Wow…

Announcing something new for Democracy Docket members in their inboxes tomorrow at 7am. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it.

Her on air support is truly important

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I fear for all of us, but especially the denizens of Muskow-on-Potomac.

Prosecutor Suggests Aiding Trump Is a Priority Over Adams’s Corruption Case At a hearing, a top Justice Department official urged a judge to drop the case against Eric Adams because it hindered the mayor’s cooperation with President Trump

Quiet part loud etc. etc.

Just a little beauty to ease up a bit.

He barely minded that someone was shot and killed at his rally.

Yet fools were still sold by his reckless concept of a plan. FWIW, I still remember when evangelicals were on the forefront helping refugees get settled and on their feet.
