Schumer/Senate Dems will find a way to defuse it, don’t worry.

Mike Johnson is holding the House hostage to normalize his actions and let everyone know that while it’s probably illegal and definitely unconstitutional, he’s able to prevent any member from being sworn in. Johnson will do this again if Democrats somehow take the House back.

I'm not fond of performative impeachment filings--bc they diminish the groundwork you'll eventually need if you do want to impeach.

But this pardon might be worth it. Add in all the Jan6 pardons and Santos and all the other people whom Trump paid and make it 300 pages long and read it all.

I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.

Nobody can know everything, let alone everything by their own research. We always rely on experts to navigate our complex world. The question is whether we pick credentialed and experienced people or internet demagogues and grifters.

I just want you all to know that when we told you that they wanted to destroy everything and you thought Black women were exaggerating? This was the "ironic" racism you said we were overreacting to 10 years ago. Racism has never had generational limits

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Everything Is Awful. And It’s Changing Us. It’s great that Disney is bringing Jimmy Kimmel backβ€”but is it too late?

A populace that is agitated without being informed. A leader who encourages the worst suspicions, fuels the most dangerous lies, and mocks compromise and tolerance. It is getting close to being too late. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social:

Greta Thunberg. This is all I want to hear about tonight. Where is that girl, and why is the world not demanding the release of every member of the aid flotilla and immediate condemnation of the Israeli government? What kind of world allows this to be?
