Hi folks:

I'm going to be using my YouTube channel a LOT more now.

I have a lot to say.

Here, I offer some thoughts on the vital importance of rising to the challenge of this moment.

🚨 MINNESOTA: “state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman (both Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party) shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer… A manhunt is currently underway…” kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Bootlegging about to make a comeback. Someone will profit.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Thank you for your service and leadership 💜🇺🇸

This is a great letter. Pitch perfect.

MacArthur Foundation to Increase Giving for Two Years in Response to ‘Crisis’ The move was prompted by the Trump administration’s freeze on federal foreign aid and the now-suspended freeze on federal grants.

Some good news:

"The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation will increase its giving over the next two years in response to what it calls a 'crisis' prompted by the Trump administration’s freeze..."

YouTube video by MeidasTouch Go Home America, You’re Drunk: A Conversation with Michael Steele | PoliticsGirl

America is a hot mess, but you wouldn’t know it listening to legacy media. Which is why our guest, Michael Steele, former RNC Chair and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend, was such a breath of fresh air when he let loose saying people need to start giving a damn and wake the hell up. It’s time we.....

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Just doing my 3am doom scrolling and the news is bad- very bad- but what is good.. so many smart, strong and just voices that I NEVER found on other media platforms. That is something- keep reposting and introducing us! @mcuban.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

Woke up this morning to SNL Concert trending - watching it now and loving it #SNL50. I’d say it’s worth getting Peacock+ to see the uncut version. #LaurynHill, #BrandiCarlile, #Mumford&Sons

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Musk or Us Recess Toolkit

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell.

Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships).

We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

We found the real one!

Art will save us all! Thank you Kendrick Lamar for a genius #superBowl Performance.

Crazy to think that just 4 years ago Amanda Gorman read The Hill We Climb
