One of the last remaining people to not own a smartphone. The only question I asked Windows' Cortana was how I could murder her. Us wildings are just that way.

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

A tweet from George Conway (@gtconway3d) says:
β€œTo boo @realDonaldTrump is to show respect for office he holds and the Constitution he continually trashes.”
It’s replying to Kelly McCarty, who had written:
β€œI don’t care if they don’t like Trump, but have some damn respect for the President of the United States and our men and women in uniform. This is sick.”

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

Maybe we could trade Trump for an able-bodied president who works instead of watching Fox News half the day, golfing, attending sporting events, and playing on social media.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

If you want to solve the housing crisis, you will pass a law that hedge funds cannot buy single-family homes, and that they have to divest existing assets over the next 5 years (at least 20% per year).

We’re not going to β€œfix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

We were thinking a day or a week would be enough to get the message across. But cowardly Dems are about to cave for nothing. And Johnson has no plans to open the House.
Those with plenty or even a little extra, find ways to those who are hurting. (Food banks. Really)
Besides that, shut it down.
