Our stock market is crashing.
Our economy is contracting.
Our government is dismantling.
Our allies are fleeing.
Our grocery prices are rising.
But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."
So it all evens out.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Would like some thoughts on this from physicians on here.
Look at the way Trump moves his legs—like he’s having circulatory problems. And note the massive bruise we saw this week on the back of his hand.
Is he on blood thinners? If so, did he have a stroke at some point?

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Dialogues for Democracy: Mark Cuban hosted by Ambassador Jeff Flake
Had a great time doing this interview with Jeff Flake, and thanks for the support @davidaxelrod.bsky.social it was invaluable.
The interview covers everything. My background. Shark tank. Politics. You name it

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp'
Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.
Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

a reddish brown vizsla sits on a woodgrain kitchen floor and looks up at the camera with very wide gold eyes. her upper lip is curled up and in on itself, revealing a little row of half a dozen teeth. her large triangular ears frame her expression perfectly.
This is Gemma. She is the real-life version of this emoji: 😬 12/10

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
