4 Screenshots from the movie "The Fugitive" (1993): First, a high-angle shot looking down a stairwell captures U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) standing at the top, shouting "Richard!" as he pursues fugitive Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford). Second, Kimble, wearing a green jacket over a hoodie, looks up in alarm while running down a dimly lit corridor, with tension evident in his expression. Third, Kimble is seen through a glass window with two bullet holes, his reflection distorted by the shattered glass, emphasizing the danger of his escape. Fourth, Kimble, now blending into a bustling St. Patrick’s Day parade, dons a green bowler hat and walks among the crowd, his expression tense yet determined; the subtitle reads, "Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you."

Mar 17th 1993 - After posing as a janitor, Richard Kimble is spotted by Samuel Gerard. He chases Kimble, who escapes through a security door and then hides among a #StPatricksDay parade.

"Happy St. Patrick's day, loser."

Everything starts as noise with Trump. It's sometimes impossible to know if it's going to become signal. So the media chases the noise, which helps them, or ignores it, which has its own set of risks.

This ended up being timely (and will be timely many more times before this is all over, I'm afraid) stancilculture.substack.com/p/crisis-is-...

That's exactly what the yes votes today signaled: there is no bill bad enough for us to block it.

As bad as this one is, the next one will be magnitudes worse and include all sorts of horrors.

Congress has no meaningful mechanism left to balance Trump and Musk, and Americans have no meaningful mechanism to influence any of it. Call? Write? Protest? Wastes of fucking time.

If nothing else, the spineless failure of Trump’s 8 Dems is another kick in the shins to the ongoing viability of “call your senators! They are scared! This will change things!”

F them, and primary all 8:

Cortez Masto D-NV
Durbin D-IL
Schatz D-HI
Schumer D-NY
King I-ME
Fetterman D -PA
Peters D-MI
Hassan D-NH

again, we're americans. we don't have masters. we're not slaves. we talk back to our leaders. and they work for us. we don't cower before clowns. that's our civic tradition going back centuries. i'll lash my to that tradition and go where it takes me

Rules for the Senate Dems to remove leader:

Just 10 members (20% of the Senate Dem Conference) can call for a meeting of the conference to vote on whether and who shall replace Schumer as Conference Chair and Democratic Leader.

It’s awesome that Senate Democrats are voting to pass Trump’s budget while he’s at the DOJ calling them a bunch of criminals and saying newspapers and MSNBC should be illegal. That’s great, good job guys.

@reckless.bsky.social had it right

New Yorkers and DC residents trying to talk with @schumer.senate.gov are having to push notes through a locked door with police posted outside.

Aging Democrats Are Still Telling the Same Old Story. It’s Time to Turn the Page The political arena has changed drastically since many of our leaders' glory days.

I come back to this a lot because somehow it's even more true: Every Democrat over the age of 70 should make this their last term. www.thedailybeast.com/aging-democr...

To be perfectly clear, Sen. Booker's press secretary just confirmed to me that he is a no on the CR and on cloture:

"He’s a no on both."
