Boycott CBS. Sellouts, giving into the Rump and canning Colbert. They do not deserve an audience.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!
249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

I almost skipped this because, well, duh. Don't skip it. It does a great job of addressing our current situation without ever saying a word about our current situation. HCR is, as always, outstanding.
A video about the Declaration of Independence. I'm proud of this one.

For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

Murkowski votes yes and hopes it doesn’t pass.
Hawley says it’s terrible for his constituents and the middle class … yet votes yes.
It’s pretty simple: words don’t matter. Votes do.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

CBS owner Paramount settles Trump lawsuit over Harris interview for $16M
The money will go to Trump’s future presidential library, not to him directly, according to the agreement. Paramount will not apologize as part of the settlement.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Note: we recorded this even *before* Trump’s bonkers speech at the Justice Department today.
Me: “We have reached a stage of illegality, immorality, and depravity in a federal administration that no one could have ever thought possible. … And you can't enjoin depravity.”
