This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

We just want to say, it’s ok to feel sad during the holidays. It’s not selfish, it’s not weakness. It’s grief. It’s ok to grieve. Especially now.

And we’re sending a special hug to all of you who are facing the people who should have loved you best, but chose to hurt you instead. We see you. 💚

Trump Appears to Fight Sleep During Cabinet Meeting

A strong display of might in the war to end woke! Trump has definitively and single handedly conquered “wokeness” by literally losing consciousness. 🪦

We too are tired, but unlike him, we’ll reboot to full competence tomorrow. Goodnight! 😴✨

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

I'm sitting here watching the feel-good movie of 1979. Alien. It almost makes me want to sign up for a deep space mining vessel. Then I remember that Musk is basically Waylon-Yutani, and I just can't see myself breaking quarantine to help his bottom line.

I’m signing so that the truth comes out. The survivors of Epstein’s abuse—and the American people—deserve answers.
