Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Every person in science I talked to yesterday brought up the filibuster. (!!)
So I recorded a video explainer on it.
Should we be worried about getting rid of the filibuster?
In short, no. Though there are a few wrinkles.

A former Ward 2 ANC just filed a complaint about CM Pinto's (mis)use of Office resources. She sent a citywide mailer days before she announced a run for districtwide office.

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
