Tossing this out there…
- if the Senate passes a bill to reopen the government
- then the House (probably?!?) has to come back into session to consider it
- at which point Johnson is out of excuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva

Trump called +1.5% in 2024 a “mandate.”

So what, exactly, do we call ~10x-20x that in 2025!?!

Spanburger (VA) +15.0 (96%)
Hashmi (VA) +11.2 (95%)
VA House (at least) +13 seats
Sherrill (NJ) +13.2 (95%)
Donohue/Dougherty/Wecht (PA) +21%+ (92%+)
Mamdani (NY) +8.8 (91%)
Prop 50 (CA) +29.4% (65%)

One of my favorite photos (that I took) and favorite memories! At this moment, these guys weren’t players being paid big bucks…they were ten year old kids playing a game they loved!

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

While all horrific assassinations… The fact that only flags in Minnesota and New York were ordered to half-staff in honor of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband but Trump has already ordered the same for Charlie Kirk (sadly) speaks volumes…

On what authority do Texas republicans have to prevent the free movement of their democratic counterparts? Looks like a kidnapping is currently happening in the capitol building in Austin…

O Oysters,' said the Carpenter,
You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none —
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one."

Financial decision = Paramount recognizes that they already used up their lack of spine. Shame!

Although many constituents were not faithfully served by their Representatives today (myself included)…I’m left wondering how the constituents of the three districts with vacant Congressional seats are feeling tonight…

While visiting Montreal, ran across a peaceful protest in support of Palestine—supported by police for the safety of those participating. It was nice to see the system work as it should…

Wanna bet on how quickly all of our personal data becomes part of xAI (if it hasn’t already)?

While Trump is busy declassifying JFK/RFK/MLK reports with one hand…please don’t lose sight of what he is doing with the other…
