Cranky old man and wary observer. First prez vote in '72, wrote in Shirley Chisolm. Hesitantly registered Dem in 2012. I'm all in now (and have been since 2016).

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesnโ€™t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

Weโ€™re in Brazil โ€” one of the worldโ€™s great democracies, one of our biggest trading partners โ€” and not a single person from the Trump Administration showed up.

Thatโ€™s shameful.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

While the president's Solicitor General argues to the Supreme Court that the cornerstone of the president's power to impose tariffs is that they are not revenue raising...

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Iโ€™m out walking my dogs. A guy across the street is walking his dog. The guy suddenly yells at the dog & kicks him. Real hard. I yelled at the guy, he yelled at me and moved on. Fuck anyone who hurts or physically abuses a dog. Or any animal. Fuck people who harm animals.

There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is.

The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... ๐ŸŒŠ

To recap, among young votersโ€ฆ

Prop 50: +58
Sherril: +37
Spanberger: +40
Mamdani: +61

I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.
