DC dad and education policy guy. Former @dcbeer editor. Tweets are going to be some awful pie chart of craft beer, dynasty baseball, Everton, politics, policy, dadding, cooking, and snark. Definitely snark.

β€œWe are excited to deal with the person actually calling the shots in the West Wing, Stephen Miller”

A concerted effort and he’s gone in a week.

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president

The Emperor's new war. A complete fantasy presented in a room full of nodding sycophants who don't question a thing he says.

I am never going to be a fan of a politician. That way lies disappointment. But Pritzker right now is the person I think is calibrating it right.

This isn’t negotiating about social security with W. You either get that or you don’t.

β€œThe actual costs of my business exceed the likely revenue of my business” is usually the sort of thing we solve with bankruptcy, not piracy.

Another month saying thx you for recognizing the national leading ridership being driven by the safe, frequent and reliable service Team Metro is delivering.

This is so not normal. And so not right. And so unconstitutional. And if a Democratic president had the Governor of Illinois send IL national guard troops to Texas, @GregAbbott_TX would be having a meltdown.

DC beer doing my research for me. Great place to start!

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Really zero reason for the Senate Democrats to ever vote for any government funding bill since Trump is very explicitly and purposely violating the letter of the law. Any new bill is basically fancy toilet paper.

Do you think there will be an IPA or a stout at this event

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

Less than a year into the Trump admin and the National Governors Association, founded over 115 years ago, is on the brink of collapse.

By then will say she can't unring the bell once Texas National Guard is set up in Illinois.

Its not lost on me that the conservative bugaboo for years was federal troops marching in their states and cities and its the first thing Trump reached for once in power

Have to give a lot of credit to @americanair.bsky.social on this recent trip. On time departures, early arrivals, mostly friendly staff, and excellently stocked lounges. Glad to be greeted with this deliciousness back in the homeland.

Thanks to a Bon Appetit feature on kebabs I had some of these. I also had a good curry chicken salad (not featured). I am now craving a crispy Buffalo chicken sandwich

They have Subway in Paris did you know that? I thought the French mind couldn’t comprehend chipotle mayo but I was wrong. Le Five Dollar Foot Long is a smash hit

Basically this same loop but it’s the Spectrum for TBS β€”>HBOMax loop and somehow yet again despite paying hundreds in streaming and cable bills I still cannot watch the Dodgers in the playoffs on streaming or cable unless I spend even more money

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Oscar Coaston and Sallie Coaston defeated segregation and got three kids to grad school. These people who think that anything that isn’t art school socialism is fascism … nah.

Again, patriotism isn’t about loving America as is, it’s about believing it can be something better. Also, anyone who says my grandfather fought in a segregated unit at Normandy for fascism can take a hike.

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

DEMOCRATS: How can we make Russ Vought infamous? He's a fairly obscure bureaucrat unless you live in the beltway. People can't even pronounce his name right.

TRUMP: Check out this epic bacon meme about my supervillain friend Russ Vought spelled V-O-U-G-H-T
