Grumpy Jews (Who Read) Special Thanksgiving Episode with the kids

November 18, 2025 For three hot days, from July 1 to July 3, 1863, more than 150,000 soldiers from the armies of the United States of America and the Confederate States of America slashed at each other in the hills and...

An important reminder of an important anniversary.
Lincoln's re-reading of the Declaration of Independence went much farther than Jefferson ever intended. And so did Dr. King's re-reading.

Delay, deny, defend.

Bush v gore worked. All the Iraq War corruption forgotten. Citizens United. Tea party takeover of the Republican Party. Republicans have done nothing since 2010.

Madness.

And the Democrats still think they can negotiate with them… Who are the foolish ones?

The extra annoying and horrid part about what you said is that, for once, they did win a lot of votes with the recent blue wave. Not that it mattered to the senators who decided they should cave (and the certain someone who told them that they should)

A failed GOP candidate's lawsuits prevented Al Franken from joining the Senate for 8 critical months after he won.
The moral of the story is that the GOP stopped playing by the rules, norms and traditions DECADES ago, and Dems apparently remain unaware of this serious circumstance.

/ because he objected to the Defense Department reimbursing travel costs to female soldiers for abortions. Johnson closed the House for weeks, violating Art. 1, sec. 5 of the Constitution.
We need to change rules that let a single senator or representative block the normal work of government.

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

“You took the longest paid vacation in modern history.”

Who is working for us?

We must demand government of the people, by the people, and FOR the people.

And the GOP leadership thinks it’s ok to stop working for us and collect pay and health coverage for doing NOTHING.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Clarksville veterans say care, not cuts to the Veterans Administration, are needed • Tennessee Lookout Tennessee veterans face worsening chronic illnesses as a result of long waits for care and denial of claims from the Veterans Administration.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

I wish he were all that different
from at any other point before now.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

I'm filing a brief in support of the case against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs now in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

California families and businesses shouldn't pay the price for actions that Trump never had the authority to take in the first place.

And yes, we may not have a United States anymore because the Speaker had closed Congress.

Yes.
The framers never imagined that the American people would elect someone who thought that law didn’t matter.

I think Danielle Haas would be a fascinating guest for you.

They are joined by Danielle Haas, who for ten years was Human Rights Watch's only senior employee in Israel, to talk about bias in the Human-Rights-Industrial-Complex.

It is eye-opening and an astounding testimony to the extent to which we live in a zero-fact world now.

The “To Arrive Where We Started” Edition — The Promised Podcast Allison and Noah talk about what the hell they make of the neither-fish-nor-foul liminal state we find ourselves in now and what the hell the future holds for us. Then they are joined by Danielle Haas...

Meanwhile, impressed by the idea that you and Jon Stewart and Maddow might be pursuing a better news platform.

In support of that and for your review I share this week’s The Promised Podcast.

Here’s the link at the right time stamp 54:15-ish.
