Murphy is the only good Dem messenger right now. Do we want to banish him to this job? Why is there no other good messenger in the Senate?

Staying home also hurts non voters. They don’t see it that way but it’s true. If all the non voters had voted there would be none of what’s happening now in this country. IOW that Non Vote was a vote for Trump. Same difference.

Unfortuantely as we learned when Medhi Hasan appeared on "Surrounded", there is an entire generation of young people who could give a shit about democracy or freedom. They think fascism is cool--and will only hurt the people they hate.

We're now seeing the children of parents who watch FOX News.

Opinion | He Was the Face and Voice of Gaza. Israel Assassinated Him.

“Israel assassinated a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, a young man who had suddenly become the face and voice of the desperate people of his homeland, Gaza…The military made no attempt to obscure this brazen strike on civilians, which is a war crime.”

It’s abundantly clear this is true. It was a different era. Men valued certain ethics and agreements. This was a period when men fought duels to defend their honor. It all seems archaic, but it represents a value system incapable of believing one body of government would relinquish its power.

Trump Has Revealed a Gaping Hole in the Constitution The Founding Fathers never accounted for having a president who flouts all checks and balances – and a Congress and a Supreme Court that enable him.

For Zeteo, @kimwehle.bsky.social points out how the Founders and the Constitution itself weren’t prepared for a Trump:

Why was that guy in costume as Anonymous?

I won’t criticize what you did. Too many want to hide their head in the sand. Hiding from these people doesn’t work. While we shouldn’t go overboard platforming them, we can’t hide altogether. Their numbers have grown because we ignored them or tried to silence them. They still grew in numbers.

@velshi.com I used to respect conservatives, but now I realize their mindset has brought us to the BUB. They're obsessed with cutting gov't spending on the backs of the poor to solve the deficit. Biden's tax plan didn't raise taxes on the middle class. It's right wing propaganda.

Spoken like spoiled children whose parents let them have everything they wanted. Childhood works that way with indulgent parents. In the adult world you have to make hard choices. You have to accept rejection because they happen. The person you desire may not desire you back. Case closed. Grow up!

RFK Jr. gutted the CDC’s vaccine board.
@ashishkjha.bsky.social says states, medical orgs, and lawmakers must step up to protect coverage and trust.
Public health needs strong leadership now more than ever.

Trump dares Congress to act with staggering amount of impeachable crimes: expert Ignoring due process. Lying to the American people. Violating the Emoluments Clause with blatant corruption. These are just a few of the impeachable offenses that legal experts say President Donald Tr...

Elect a criminal, and you better expect some crimes, much like clowns and circus.

I left Twitter after the election. Everyone was saying they were deleting their accounts. I didn't leave because I couldn't handle the Xtreme comments, I do just fine on that score. I come here and everyone is so thin-skinned. I've been blocked more here than on X. Hateful and boring here.

I've lost it for Cory Booker. He thinks his job is only this and nothing more. As do too many elected officials down there in DC.

Where is Gavin Newsome? Has he switched sides?

🕸️🃏 "Zelensky has no cards…" they said

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification?

They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

Please primary Chuck Schumer. Don't let Party protocol be the reason why not...

This week, I confronted masked ICE officers detaining immigrants during routine court appearances, led a bipartisan effort to protect federal judges from doxxing threats, and organized a walkthrough of the Red Hook Houses’ post-Sandy resiliency project with NYCHA officials.

Community Before Strategy And how to stop authoritarianism with this One Weird TACO.

"By hitting Trump with TACO over and over, you (a) reveal his pull-backs as weakness and (b) dare him to go through with the stuff that will screw up the real world—and, in theory, create pain for his movement."

I doubt the Iowans at that Town Hall came there for her sarcasm or a philosophical discussion on mortality. Yes... we're all going to die! But we don't want Trump, MAGA Senators/Representatives deciding our expiration date. (Insert Jesse Pinkman expletive here.)

David Frum is spot on here.

I always wanted penmanship of this quality, but could never get there.

Or pardoned insurrectionists?
