It's so refreshing to witness the X-odus finding a home here. I left Twits years ago, happy to see my old favs showing up and finding each other. First sense of peace I've felt since election day. Thank y'all, truly! I think we're gonna be okay.

The types of things these people choose to focus on is so fucking weird. Like, do some work for a change, bring my cost of living down.
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT
HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Someone tell him if he backs down from this threat he can count it as another war he ended
Trump, with no authority to do so, demands the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela be closed as he threatens to bomb and invade the country.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Trump is attacking a precedent dating back to the Magna Carta. His efforts to wield the law as a personal weapon show his utter disregard for the guardrails protecting our freedoms. @ianbassin.bsky.social writes on President Trump and the ‘king’s justice’. https://protdem.org/3LSKnv5

So, troops were sent to DC to support law enforcement and now law enforcement is going to guard the troops sent to help them? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack
If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard troops have worked with law enforcement in the District since their arrival.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Very good framing of Trump's combination of worsening failures + consolidation of authoritarian power from @davidrlurie.bsky.social over at @atrupar.com's place:
The GOP is stuck with a lame duck dictator. Republicans didn't just lose the shutdown, they are losing the American people, who are increasingly repulsed by Trump's War Within America, and by Trump himself, as I discuss in PN.
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.

Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...
Not just left vs right: Most voters think about affordability and material wellbeing, not in ideological terms
Most voters want a party that emphasizes cost of living issues and makes the world a better place. Few Americans think in solidly ideologically terms. "Moderates" are mostly non-ideological.

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

Oregon retiree: My immediate concern is January 1st, 2026. My wife and I were paying $443 a month — and on January 1st, we will be paying $2,224 a month. That's a 500% increase.

NEW: Brad Lander says he wants a trial, not a deal to drop his charge stemming from an arrest by ICE.
After Arrest by ICE, City Comptroller Rejects Deal and Seeks Trial
Other officials arrested while protesting at 26 Federal Plaza in September will have their federal charges dropped if they avoid arrest inside a federal building for six months.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

This is a good question. Reuters reports Trump admin has hired 50,000 workers, primarily in immigration enforcement.
For context, that's equivalent to the total number of job losses in Health & Human Services, Veterans Affairs, USAID and Interior COMBINED, per the Partnership for Public Service

🚨 NEW: More Republicans are quietly telling Rep Thomas Massie they plan to vote to release the files, and he predicts this could snowball.
