Rhea Seehorn is back!!! And how! She was sooo good in Better Call Saul. In Pluribus, she’s a goddamn powerhouse. That first episode—oh my! Make sure the edge of your seat is comfortable, because that’s where you’ll be sitting.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Sure, be mad I voted for Mamdani — I'm still just as Jewish (and Israeli) as you are An Israeli Jew who lives in New York City openly supported Zohran Mamdani. The backlash taught a painful lesson about our divided politics.

As she says so eloquently here, you can dislike her political views, but you can't erase her Jewish and Israeli identity. forward.com/opinion/7826...

Did The New York Times Ruin Opinions? Or have they just hired people whose opinions ain’t worth the paper The New York Times is printed on?

Or… and hang with me here… Did The New York Times Ruin Opinions?😬

Let’s talk about Pluribus Join us, Carol.

Did you catch Pluribus over the weekend and have been itching to talk about it ever since? 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬⁣⁣ for a subscriber-exclusive chat hosted by @andrewrweb.bsky.social and we'll dig into the first two episodes.

Supreme Court Won’t Consider Overturning Same-Sex Marriage The petition had garnered widespread fears that the court could overturn its precedent on same-sex marriage.

the mood of national news does not encourage me to try and stay in the US

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

I didn't really use my health insurance for my first six years in the US. Then last summer, I was diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells in my cervix and then a broken neck in May, requiring months of physical therapy. I have spent more than $8k, even with employer insurance, just in the last two years.

"Bullies gain power when righteous people yield in the face of their wrongdoing."

Lord have mercy the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument rn in an appeal from a case I wrote about last year

it's undisputed that Damon Landor suffered a *brazen* violation of his legal rights, yet the GOP justices sound skeptical that he can actually sue the prison guards who violated his rights

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

One thing that's clear about Zohran Mamdani's time as mayor, that many Millennial POC will especially understand, is how he'll be held to an entirely different standard. His successes will be written off or dismissed and his mistakes will be blown up by critics and the press. It's going to get ugly.

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.

The US Supreme Court has acted like it's one of Kim Davis's many husbands and kicked the "Marriage is Sacred, Y'all!!!" hypocrite to the curb. Glory!

Ooh, @lastweektonight.com did a whole thing on Felony Murder last night.

Didn't mention my book chapter on the matter. :( But still, I happy to remind you that these laws are shitty and need to be repealed.

"Why should I pay for roads that I never drive on?" Truly do not understand the basic building blocks of society and civilization (though they definitely feel entitled to the fruits of both).

they understand insurance. the entire premise of libertarian opposition to mandatory insurance is that they should not have to care about anyone else and be permitted to take risks. it's the same opposition to vaccination and taxation.

they are bad neighbors.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

A very beautiful white woman with impossibly long legs, kicking one of them high above her head. It’s not an athletic feat; it’s a gesture of elegance and joy.

Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

TENNESSEE FARMERS: “The tariffs pass down to the consumer… had to take on 2nd & 3rd jobs… 4 blood pressure pills a day…”

Why won’t Republicans fight for them and ask Trump to stop the pain instead of supporting this like @MattForTN Van Epps & @rustygrills & @MarshaBlackburn?

I say the same thing about horror documentaries and podcasts. There is really no reason why they so often interview white folks and mainly men.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
