Perfect metaphor

Whaaat?! Moses telling his followers to pray to the Golden calf?!

DITTO for MAILERS. Complete waste of money & paper. Have I mentioned how much I despise the consultant class & their incestuous relationships w/ vendors?

Some of you will say I shouldn't criticize our side, but we're not exactly a well-oiled machine over here & there is room for improvement.

Trump says the ultimate fruits of tariffs will be worth the pain. Experts disagree. President Trump says the goal of his tariffs − resuscitating U.S. manufacturing's glory days − will be worth the turmoil. Experts are skeptical.

OpenAI's 'Ghiblification' debacle inspired me to write about one of my favorite Miyazaki films and its uniquely powerful brand of tech criticism. Everyone should watch it, and every parent should watch it with their kids, imo

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these:

1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps.
2. We decide who enemies are.
3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

someone should take the US to the Hague on this

This feels like a rhetorical question.

Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim.

Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.

By tomorrow we’ll get, “It depends on what the definition of ‘plan’ is.”

Yep. Federal records. You're supposed to protect them, not delete them.

They. Discussed. War. Plans. On. Signal. They don't get to claim secret anything

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

You know, I watched Sen. Schumer on Chris Hayes and really tried to hear him defend his actions in good faith, but by the end of their discussion, it just felt impossible for me to avoid this very deep sense of dangerous foreboding. Big "tempting fate" energy in the worse way. Honestly scary.

Seriously, MAGA. How many more times before you realize you’re being played?

Epstein files? Nothingburger.

JFK files? Mostly the same shit Biden released. Still redacted.

I should make it clear that the reason Schumer phrased it as “if democracy is at risk” is because he very explicitly does not believe we’re there yet. Hayes asked him and he said no. Just a total failure of leadership and understanding the stakes.

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

This.

Me, waiting on the George Clooney Op-Ed about Chuck Schumer.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

My goodness. Press play, and watch this. Every last bit of it. 😂

Be honest—does anyone think @schumer.senate.gov is the right Leader for what we are up against?

Dictator shit
