Canadian/American. Binging ‘The West Wing’ during the pandemic convinced me to get U.S. citizenship because decisions are made by those who show up.

A+ Garrison. We’re not seeing the mass reaction this requires because we’re still too comfortable. Our Costco memberships are still active and Monday Night Football is still on the air. We can protect a DoorDash driver in our house from ICE, but only because we can still order DoorDash.

Rewatching @aaronsorkin ‘s Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip and really feeling this line from Matthew Perry’s character after being told a focus group said he’s not American enough: “…I’d be happy enough to say something about the Democrats if only they’d SAY OR DO SOMETHING!”.

He’ll be visiting a busy-despite-the-bombs comedy club in Dnipro because he wants to “find out what they’re laughing at”. My grandma showed up every night to her Blitz-era London piano gig because she knew people needed a reprieve, even if just for a few songs. Can’t wait to see what Dave sees.

Not sure if this will change much, but it’s something. And I’m guessing he’ll last longer than Stackhouse…
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Today’s tiny form of resistance: Aldi parking lot, telling the guy in the MAGA truck who was loading up his groceries that I’d be happy to take his cart on my way in. Gave him a Canadian quarter.

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The potential for America to be saved by the lawyers is so America.
Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.
