“Math scores for California’s students are again on the rise, with gains in 2024 and 2025, including returns to pre-pandemic levels in many of our major cities.”

Sigh

And here it is. Just out as of Black Friday. There’s a pretty well-known guy on here who would do a much better job narrating this but he’s already doing great work speaking out for democracy and against Darth Trump. So you’re stuck with me. :)

Kyoto, our pup.

Kyoto.

Y’all might know for the last three years I have read to my grandkids overseas (their dad stationed in Japan). Usually just short picture books.

So guess which story the two oldest grandsons have been pleading for?

Never heard of it. I’ll check it out

Impeach.

Federal Judge Dismisses Trump’s Political Prosecutions of former FBI Chief Comey, NY AG James Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Monday dismissed the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) cases against FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, finding that the prosecutor President Donald Trump handpicked to bring charges against them had been unlawfully serving since September.

I started a new blog. Let me know what you think. Thx.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

Sometimes I need stuff like this for balance.

I remember this day from when I was a kid. I’m going to blog about it when I have time.

My favorite activity on Bluesky is reading interactions between two folks infinitely smarter than me.

Republicans need to be arrested

BRAVO!

In 90 seconds Jon Tester explains Citizens United—"the worst decision the Supreme Court's ever made"—and what Montana is doing to stop the flood of dark money into politics.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy'

Trump had several tense exchanges with the press over the weekend, including pointing in the face of a female reporter.

This is a very good question.

Robert Reich Medicare for All Explained | Robert Reich

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

I will be strongly endorsing against any State Senator or House member from the Great State of Indiana that votes against the Republican Party, and our Nation, by not allowing for Redistricting for Congressional seats in the United States House of Representatives as every other State in our Nation is doing, Republican or Democrat. Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we’re not going to let this happen! This all began with the Rigged Census. We must keep the Majority at all costs. Republicans must fight back!

"This all began with the Rigged Census" claims the guy who was president during the 2020 census

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Nixon had a gap in the tape recordings because of an alleged Rosemary Woods error; what is Halligan s excuse for a gap in the Comey grand jury recording? Very suspicious.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Trying selling that to any respectable news network or journalist. Try selling that to George Stephanopolos.
