Define β€œstellar”…

100% agree. Pirro would be a new low for DC. Thank you for all your hard work.

The fact that Laura Loomer is clutching pearls already speaks well of the new Chicago Pope. He has impossibly big red shoes to fill, but he’s off to a good start.

@sarajacobs.house.gov please stay in office for many more terms. Stunning delivery of facts today in Oversight.

Decency and decorum IS a show of strength. The real kind of strength. Strength that can fix the country some day. Thank you for that.

@repstansbury.bsky.social thank you for your big, shiny brain, and for neutralizing bullies with decorum. It matters and you do it so well. Lol fencing oversight committee… Please never stop. The country needs your courage.

@vanhollen.senate.gov Safe travels to El Salvador, sir, and safe return for both you and our fellow Marylander, Mr Abrego Garcia. Thank you for being a bright light in dark times.

My favorite procrastination lobbyist stops at nothing. No more laundry will be folded tonight.

Trump now wants to handpick performers at the Kennedy Center? Are you f*cking kidding me? The guy who likes ketchup on burnt steak with Diet Coke and gold toilets wants to preside over high culture and performing arts? This makes about as much sense as anything else out of the White House, ugh.

2pm, not noon. Apologies!

There is a protest today against Project 2025 around noon outside their headquarters, at 214 Mass Ave, NE.

Lessons from Game of Thrones hold true in the real world: Don’t fuck with the North.

@stephruhle.bsky.social another show full of important voices. Thank you! You weren’t alone tearing up at the end there. Thank you for reminding us what matters. National treasure James Carville FTW! Wow. I laughed, I cried.

Same. Sadly, I suspect it’s going to get weirder.

Control returns to the people when we work together, from the bottom up.

Imagine a full, above ground swimming pool.

Knowing it works best if you get rid of excess water, you have a choice: You can open a drain valve, OR, you can drive a Cybertruck into the side and remove thousands of gallons fast.

Only one solution lets you keep the pool.

Now, imagine a country…

Polling numbers out today speak to a turning tide. Don’t give up now!

Even republicans are second guessing this ridiculous path. Wish they’d done it sooner, but now is better than never.

Winter isn’t through with us yet. That coat in the back of your closet with plenty of life left in it? Throw it in your car and drop it off at the nearest church, fire station or donation box. You’ll find the right place. Just do it.

Someone could be warm because you you.

The garden center gave me side eye when I asked which aisle the electrolytes were on.

I take this as a sign of hope.

Do we refer to the First Buddy as BROTUS or SCROTUS now?

The best thing about Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is that she’s just getting started.

The gifted orator and former public defender from the 30th District (south & central Dallas) chose the law after becoming a victim of hate crimes. Her own lawyers inspired her. So glad they did! Look her up!

Rep. Pressley said it right: D.O.G.E. stands for Dangerous Oligarchs Grab Everything.

Do these two things tomorrow, no matter what:

1. Eat something healthy.
2. Reach out to someone you know who is having a rough time and tell them you’re an ally and always will be. It will matter, even if they don’t say so.

Love to every last one of you amazing people. We got this.

@velshi.bsky.social Thank you for all your hard work from your colleagues in Washington. Proud to be on the smart people team, working for NBC, because journalists like you help the world understand the tough stuff. Hope you get some rest soon!
