You know why his wife is included in chats and meetings? Because she's smarter than he is and has to give him a summary afterward.

Old enough to remember when the right was insisting that the president was hindering aid in response to Helene and it was a (fake) scandal.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

The problem isn't that Fox doesn't function like a normal news outlet.

The problem is that the actual normal media *treats Fox* like a normal news outlet that just has, like, a different flavor or whatever.

Yes, I am, too!

Excellent!

This is spot on.

So they accuse democrats of importing people of color to take American’s jobs while they refer to American workers as mediocre. I guess they’re saying Americans aren’t intelligent.

Sen Chris Murphy is urging Ds to stop fluffing RFK. As he told me:

"If we just accept that RFK is a mainstream nominee when he just finished telling us that maybe Covid was a genetically engineered virus...we’re cooked if that all of a sudden is normal."

On Thanksgiving Day the Card Campaign (www.bigwin2024.com) released a Letter to Senators for anyone to use, urging Republican and Democratic Senators to use their advice and consent power wisely and block specific Trump Cabinet nominees. Let's flood all Senators with these letters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

I’m going to keep hammering this.

You do not need to agree on 100% of issues to be aligned. You do not need to agree on tactics 100%.

Can’t say it enough: THIS!

Trump vows to pursue more defamation claims after ABC News settlement President-elect Donald Trump on Monday stepped up his legal threats against news outlets.

One perspective on these lawsuits:

1. A test of the people/institutions/companies; will they obey in advance?

2. A test of our legal system; will it hold?

3. A test for how many Americans will be willing to help pay the legal expenses of individuals he sues.

Remember during Covid when some governors provided regular updates about what was happening? We need regular updates by the best Democratic communicators explaining the reckless incompetence of the Trump bunch and providing the public a picture of how things can and must be better.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social said something similar on Rachel Maddow's @maddow.bsky.social show last night. Find experts to fill a "shadow cabinet" whose job will be to speak to the American people about how things can and should be better.

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris urges young voters to "stay in the fight" in her first major remarks since her concession speech — says "civil rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights" would never have happened if "people had given up."

Related to Musk playing fast and loose with government secrets, here's a passage from our book, Character Limit, in which he randomly tells a group of Twitter employees in Nov 2022 that he didn't think Russians would interfere with Twitter Blue because they had thus far failed to hack Starlink.

Why Does Elon Musk Still Have a Security Clearance? The U.S. government seems to think he’s too big to fail.

Huh. The government has some questions about Musk and security clearances. So did I, last October:

1. Here's the thing about Trump and that lawsuit against the Des Moines Register. All his legal actions before now have been against the giants like '60 Minutes' or ABC, which might have had journalists in the next tiers down thinking, 'They won't ever get to us.'

Elon Musk and SpaceX Face Federal Reviews After Violations of Security Reporting Rules (Gift Article) Federal agencies have opened at least three reviews into whether the company and its leader complied with disclosure protocols intended to protect state secrets, people with knowledge of the matter sa...

"Elon Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, have repeatedly failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders"

Post from Karen Piper, Text reads: "Wow. Elon Musk's lawyers have advised him not to seek a higher security clearance because 'Musk would have had to answer questions from the government about his contacts with foreign nationals and drug use.' He's hiding his conversations with Putin."

I see how this is a problem. Do you see how this is a problem?
