OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Senate Democrats are holding the floor ALL NIGHT to protest 100 days of cruelty, chaos & Trumpian collapse.

While most media yawns, Rachel Maddow is shining a light—because truth still matters.

This is what resistance looks like.

LFG for the Senate Dems 👏🏻

Illinois’ Democratic governor JB Pritzker possesses the kind of fighting spirit we need take on and topple a tyrant like Trump. Pritzker is teeming with fierce opposition to the madness of MAGA — precisely what Americans need at this dangerous point in our nation’s history.

Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.

California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.

No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.
Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.

Red state Republicans love to hate us… but they sure don’t mind cashing the checks.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.

And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

DOGE is essentially just counting on the media to report these top line numbers without any evaluation.

Here is the reality:

DOGE claims $150 billion in savings

DOGE itemizes $90.6 billion

But if you look at the underlying primary source documents only 11.6 billion in cuts is verifiable

Typically, after a grifter pulls a big con they disappear before the marks realize they were taken. I think the thing that’s unprecedented and unknowable is what happens if enough people figure it out but the con man is still trying the same con on them as if they haven’t.

How did Trump pull the "tariffs" out (of his ass)?

They aren't tariffs at all. He took the ratio (US to X trade deficit)/(X to US export) when there is one and called that the fractional tariff on US goods per James Surowiecki on X. Charged 10% if there was no imbalance.

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats.

This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."
Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:

-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot

That's a genuinely good start.
