Given the particular political times we are in, not only in the US but globally, hearing this piece from Les Misérables from 17 Jean Valjeans in a multiplicity of languages, and the history those languages represent, is quite poignant. It makes my eyes leak.

So it’s ok for a country to invade another country and kidnap its president? I hope that the rest of the world is paying attention. I have a president . . .

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

NEW: Top federal watchdog says they have opened more than *three dozen* investigations to determine if President Trump violated federal law by improperly withholding congressionally authorized funds. Earlier, Dems estimated Trump has blocked more than $400b.

No matter how well you play, if you are consistently a bully on the neighborhood basketball court eventually the other kids won't invite you to the game and will play without you. We have become the bully and the rest of the kids are going to start enjoying b-ball without us. #tariffs #politics

Ok #Wisconsin . This is a no brainer. The Wisconsin #aclu sent out a questionnaire to Crawford and Schimel to help us compare their #SupremeCourt candidacies. Take a moment and read their answers. How can we elect a judge who won't even answer?

I tried to fact check this bizarre answer on @maddow.msnbc.com by trying to get in contact with DOGE. There’s no phone number or email publicly available. If a Member of Congress couldn’t get in touch with DOGE how do they expect anyone else to?

President Trump and President Musk need to get on the same page. After creating unnecessary chaos, they once again prove their incompetence.
Trump administration tells agencies they can ignore Musk order on email reply
The Office of Personnel Management told HR officials that employees wouldn’t be let go for not replying to an email asking what they did last week.

While the Musk and Bannon #Nazi salutes are despicable and should be condemned we are missing the point of the gesture. They manage to control the narrative for yet another cycle. They throw out red meat and we spend valuable cycles talking about it. How do we control the narrative ourselves?

A good reframing of our work in the coming years. What I hear is that instead of spending our precious time observing The Don and complaining we need to turn around and keep our attention on the reality on the street and heaping those problems on The Don.

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat
Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

Watching the State funeral for Jimmy Carter. Fascinating that nearly every sentence uttered is an antithesis of the incoming administration.
