Rebuilding my follow list after first leaving Twitter and now weaning myself off Threads. Who should I follow?

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

5 minutes of hail. What??

Brought to you by the guys who want to privatize Social Security & turn it over to Wall St.

So my 4th grader got written up at his after-care program for “inciting a rebellion” against some new rules he didn’t like. Nothing I read about parenting prepared me for this.

Red-hot #dating advice from my Mum which I might actually start using...

"Maybe you should only ever agree to a second date after you've asked the man if he can tell you 3 things he's learnt about you during the evening."

"Okay, I'll go on NPR to talk about it. What do you want me to say when they ask for the grounds for his deportation?"

"You'll think of something."

Sloppy sloppy but @fahrenthold.bsky.social is on the case

'you can't just call everyone you disagree with a facist'

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.

The New Republic is doing it right. Journalists take note

Yes, looting is bad.
