After watching Donald Trump’s address to the nation last night, we are more determined than ever to flip the House and Senate blue next year.

That man needs a check on his power.

The Presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

From my dear friend, Connie, who has been an events planner for decades: “The meeting planner in me knows that a ballroom of the intended size will be too large for most functions hosted by the White House. Is the intent to install air walls? The security screening for a crowd of that size will take longer than the event will last. Catering for 900 is a whole different level than 250. Hope they are expanding the kitchens as well. Then the space will sit empty the majority of the time. Such a waste.

Ballroom Clusterfuck

According to a major events planner:

The ballroom is too large for most functions.

Security screening for a crowd of that size will take longer than the event will last.

Catering for 900 will require expanding the kitchens.

The space will sit empty the majority of the time.

“.. We have a term: ‘groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound — but groceries are down."

Join me on June 14

Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/BVaeEjjH

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.

Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

Here we go. Today, Indivisibles are engaged in MLK Day service projects in the communities we’re going to spend the next few years giving our all to…

The next few weeks are going to feel overwhelming. We’re going to suffer temporary losses on issues we care about.

We’re going to face what comes next together. Not passively, but defiantly. We’re going to pick our fights, fuel backlash, and organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

Something to keep in mind for 2025

Universal health care map

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Merrick Garland's last task and the explosive evidence that could save America As we sit on the cusp of letting a year that was steeped with so many wonderful and heady possibilities go off and quietly die in some corner, I am here for a final request:The Department of Justice, ...

Homeless American taxpaying man freezes to death in the winter on the sidewalk streets, cold, while Israel takes billions.

While this guy freezes to death in winter, teeth rotting, agonizing 24/7 after paying taxes & working for America ... Israel has taken $17.9B from US in 1 year. There are 650,000 homeless in America: That's $26,000 per unhoused person just so a rich apartheid 6000 miles away can bomb kids. Thoughts?

Jefferson's statute inside the Jefferson Memorial, in front of a quote engraved on the wall.

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

One wall of the #JeffersonMemorial bears an inscription that I like a lot, for a couple reasons:

First, it amounts to Thomas Jefferson telling #originalists to grow up and put their big-boy pants on.

Second, it's a great object lesson in *why* originalism is both futile and self-defeating. (1/10)
