Comparison photos of autumn mornings at 7:00 on Standard Time (sunlit skies) versus Daylight Saving Time (dark skies) from California (Pacific Time), Utah (Mountain Time), Missouri (Central Time), and Georgia (Eastern Time).

Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep naturally past dawn. Daylight Saving Time makes us wake by alarm in darkness. Tell lawmakers to ditch DST! 🔗👇

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.

Sometimes nowadays Watergate can feel almost quaint, but this is a good refresher on Nixon's corruption and poor character, and how Nixon wrote the playbook in many ways for Trump. ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

Rest in Peace, Diane Keaton. Thank you for your work and for your many wonderful performances. My favorite was your role as Louise Bryant in "REDS" (1981). 🗃️

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Why the hell do Christians support Trump over Biden?

I just don’t get it

This is how we lose our democracy, one deliberate act at a time.

Vice President Harris endorses Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan in California to @maddow, saying Democrats need to "fight fire with fire."

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Meiselas: Brazil convicted Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, sentencing him to 25+ years. Trump’s regime just retaliated by slapping Magnitsky Act sanctions on the judge’s wife and hitting Brazil with 50% tariffs—punishing U.S. farmers as China scoops up Brazil’s soybeans.

I oppose just about everything Charlie Kirk stands for but his shooting is reprehensible and should be condemned by every decent human being. I hope he pulls through.

Gun violence is a threat to all of us.

We all deserve better.

Respect Charlie Kirk's Wishes.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

This assassination "is not just a human tragedy for Kirk's family. It is not just an affront to society. It is an attack on our civic compact. It should be confronted as such, with no qualifications or equivocations. It is also not the first such attack." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-assass...

Guys. Flags would’ve been half staff anyways because tomorrow is 9/11.

Minutes after news broke that Charlie Kirk had been shot, we learned of a shooting at a Colorado high school.

Another group of kids left to live with fear and trauma, because our so-called leaders would rather protect the gun lobby than protect the people they serve.

DNC Spokesperson: “This afternoon, there was a bomb threat to DNC HQ that was determined to not be credible by the U.S. Capitol Police. Out of an abundance of caution, Capitol Police is conducting an interior sweep of the building."

Seizing on Kirk Killing, Trump and Allies Pledge a Crackdown on Political Opponents Read more here.

NEW: In a taped address Wednesday night, Trump blamed “the radical left” for Charlie Kirk’s murder — a term he often applies to Democrats. His rhetoric has sparked fears he’ll use the killing to further crackdown on his political opponents.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying.

Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm.

I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

BREAKING: Capitol Police have alerted members of Congress and staff to an “incident” unfolding at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in Washington, D.C. Senate staffers were told to shelter in place immediately as police respond on the scene.

On 9/11 We Promise to ‘Never Forget.’ But Too Often We Forget the Post-9/11 Combat Veterans. PTSD. Moral injury. Traumatic brain injuries. And the continuing struggle of reintegration.

We all remember 9/11 itself, but do we remember the veterans who fought for our country after the attacks? From the archives:

SCOTUS is bending the knee to Dictator Don—committing crimes against Americans. Brad Sherman & politicians like him are too afraid to fight. Their days are numbered. Join our grassroots fight: secure.actblue.com/donate/letsfgo

Bike lanes are impractical bc you can’t use them if you’re elderly and need to go to Costco to stock up on groceries and also on the same trip go to Menards to refill your propane tank.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.

GOP War on Voting Leaves Voters with Disabilities as Collateral Damage Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

NEW: For decades, protecting the voting rights of people with disabilities was a bipartisan priority. Now, as the GOP restricts voting access through the lens of “election integrity,” those long-standing protections are already beginning to erode.

Did Joni Ernst see the writing on the wall for her prospects in an off year after the Iowa special election? Or did she just not want to hear "We're all going to die" quoted at her forever?

@jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social talk Iowa and Joni Ernst's shock retirement:

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
