This morning I can see 67 votes to convict on a bill of impeachment.

You donโ€™t cut costs for families by killing clean energy.

You only sell out the future, and Americans deserve better.

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in U.S. 20 years ago, except for one seldom used multi-dose flu vaccine.  And what happened after Thimerosol was removed from vaccines in the U.S.?  Nothing, except autism rates actually increased (shifting diagnostic criteria).

Pix of Trump and Epstein

Pix of Trump and Epstein

No matter how many boats Trump blows up or how many government buildings he demolishes โ€“ we're not going to forget about the Epstein files.

I think the voters are saying they don't want the Democrats to be Republican Lite.

Perhaps major media outlets should pay attention to what happened tonight and recognize that bending the knee to Trump or pandering to a MAGA audience theyโ€™ll never win over is not the path forward, morally, journalistically or financially.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media whoโ€™ve stayed on X donโ€™t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality.

Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless youโ€™re a Nazi. Itโ€™s just wretched.

Dems have won Va with a moderate, have won NJ with a liberal and NYC with a progressive- itโ€™s all about fighting for working people to deal with the cost of living and a repudiation of the cruelty, cronyism and abuses of Trump, Trumpism
and his billionaire crew.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Media must cover โ€” not cover up โ€” Trumpโ€™s unfitness The president benefits from the failure to focus on his broken brain

The media need to wake up to the story of Trump's unfitness for office, as I wrote last week.

Trump says he knows nothing about a crypto billionaire who got a presidential pardon.
Trump says he won't make SNAP payments, but his underlings walk that back and say heโ€™ll make partial payments.
Is Trump too busy picking out bathroom tile to run the government?
Whoโ€™s in charge? Stephen Miller?

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts

"Nearly every time he appears before cameras to sell the GOPโ€™s lies, he manages to unintentionally tell the truth. These admissions have advertised the fact the regime is intent on using the shutdown to torment vulnerable Americans."

Here's @sulliview.bsky.social on that stealth edit by Washpost Opinion, as they endorsed Trump's ballroom project:

"Best practices would have made the editing change transparent, but weโ€™re not really in best-practices territory here. Weโ€™re in 'oops, maybe no one will notice' territory."

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, โ€œSwear her in.โ€ They wouldnโ€™t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system youโ€™re protecting really is.

Trumpโ€™s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.
