Done.

Done. Thank you.

I just spent a week in Portland. The city was busy with tourists and locals enjoying late summer. A prosperous downtown. Factually, there is no observable evidence of a city needing military intervention. A reminder that this is not normal. Please pay attention.

I was there as well, three weeks. The people were delightful as always. I took my grandkids to the zoo. Portland is peaceful and a beautiful sample of peaceful coexistence.
Now it will become another city in line to be federally harassed as they try to prove authoritarian strength. Ghouls incoming.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown…

Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time.

SEN. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Money in politics is the root of all of this… the vast sums of corporate & billionaire money in our political system - with or without Trump - are why ordinary people are so ill-served by elected officials and congress.”

Very well deserved to Stephen Colbert 👏👏👏🎉🎉

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

Look for the grift and the path will reveal the truth. 💰

TEVA = Israeli pharmaceutical company touting a cure for autism.

So I’ve heard. Worth looking into.

And again, putin finds himself delighted.

And again, Putin finds himself delighted.

So unifying

🚨🚨🚨 7 point plan to save democracy and what YOU can do to help today. I have heard very little meaningful action coming from leadership and I don’t know if this is “it,” but this sounds promising. Just released on IG. Let’s do it!

The Constitution doesn't defend itself.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

#StandWithTheSurvivors

By next spring, they'll be bragging about the passenger airliner they shot out of the sky because it was filled with "antifa commandos"

Say it with me “release the Epstein files”

If you don’t understand that we are in a planetary, existential battle against hate and evil, then you are already on the wrong team.

Wake up. Choose a purpose.

Violence begets violence.
What’s to be surprised about?

Also, it’s the motherfucking guns. Hello?

Sure seems that way. 😕 🇺🇸

I don't know why I'm even going to bother, but no it wasn't. It was hardly even brought up in the Federalist papers. The people who created the United States were almost pathologically fixated on the Roman Republic and Enlightenment-era Liberalism.

The United States Tennis Association told broadcasters not to show any booing of Trump today.

Call them to let them know how you feel about them enabling a wannabe dictator and his fascist regime.

North Carolina’s Sen. Warren Daniel didn’t even wait for a recess — caught trading stocks during session on the Senate floor. Corruption in real time.

I am so proud of these women and their courage to step up and tell their truth. If you know them, thank them for the nation.

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
