Winning the lottery is a cruel social experiment: Let’s shower life-changing wealth only on those individuals that have historically demonstrated a poor grasp of personal finance and statistics.
Why isn’t personal finance taught in middle school?

Hey @netflix.com I’ve always appreciated the creative diversity of Love Death + Robots.
What I didn’t expect was a full-blown corporate music video for the Chili Peppers. Would it be asking too much to have an acid-spitting cockroach bite Anthony’s head off at the end? I think Flea would approve.

While this rebuke from Senator Murphy deserves praise, it’s still a head-scratcher as to why this type of takedown is still a relative rarity from Democratic members of Congress.
It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to tap someone for Minority Leader that is willing to fight like it matters.

This exactly. The insanity will continue until everyone with a backbone that is offended by Trump/GOP performative shenanigans stands up and makes their voice heard.
There are far too many people sitting on the sidelines, thinking that this crap doesn’t affect them. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Hey Jeff Bezos, this is an opportunity for redemption. This is your chance to un-bend the knee and stand up against authoritarianism.
I’m sure you’re worried about retaliation, but hopefully you remember that it’s all of us ordinary folks that spend (or not) money at Amazon. Stand with us.

I didn’t ask to be dragged into this Christian Nationalist Jihad, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let those pearl-clutchers tell me that diversity, immigrants, LGBTQ, and neurodivergent folks aren’t what makes this country worth fighting for.

Your daily reminder that Fox News is actively and continuously poisoning the minds of people that used to be able to think for themselves.
The shit show we find ourselves in right now was orchestrated and delivered by Rupert Murdoch and his propaganda network.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for your demonstration of strength.
Just because Dems are in the minority does not mean that we are powerless, and I sincerely hope that some of your colleagues are paying attention.
New Jersey must be proud to have you represent them.

Question for @markelias.bsky.social or other attorneys:
For law firms that Bent the Knee or Complied In Advance, would clients of those firms have reason to fear that the firm could drop or compromise the client’s case at the request of the administration?
Seems like a great way to lose clients.

Reminder that Meta is a horribly evil company, converting mental heath declines (particularly teenage girls) into shareholder profits.
When I ask folks why they’re still on FB or Insta, I usually hear a fear of losing contact. We have phones in our pockets; is it really that hard to stay in touch?

Hey Peter Thiel, are you happy yet?
Are you pleased that your strategy to put fucking idiots in control of the US Government panned out?
Do you sleep better knowing what a fucking embarrassment the country has become because of you?
I’m so glad that you put your billions to such good use.

Are we to believe that the Dem plan to counter Project 2025, which had published its plans publicly with ample time to develop and refine counter-strategies, is to pretend like the Government isn’t on fire and just go about politics-as-usual? 🤔

Eight years ago, I would have convinced myself that the Senate Democrats were doing goofy shit as part of a bigger strategic plan.
I’m smarter now and realize the truth: they fucking *still* haven’t adapted to the changing landscape and continue to pretend that this is still the George Bush era.

Just got off a town hall with my US Rep, with a guest appearance by Jamie Raskin (who I like).
Disappointingly, it’s just more business-as-usual. Lots of talk about looking to the courts for relief, and open-ended hope for the midterms.
Constituents are scared. Where’s the fight? Where’s the plan?
