Why aren't Democratic officials - senators and congress people - showing up at these events and using them to say surprise raids, armed soldiers barging into businesses, separating families is not the American way? Could there be any easier way to make a statement?

‪@durbin.senate.gov‬ - I hope you act on this and don't chicken out as the Dems always do. Every protest counts!

I may have spoken too soon. Andre Agassi has been terrific during the conversation between matches, offering brilliant insights wrapped in a winning personality. Great panel. He's a welcome addition, excellent pairing with Courier and Sam. #FrenchOpen2025 #AndreAgassi

Can you understand Andre Agassi at the French Open? Not a great debut. Where's Johnny Mac?

Do real people howl? Are they gutted? Do they feel chuffed or gobsmacked? Or are these exclusive to writers?

Right on @aoc.bsky.social - it's unthinkable.

Dear Chuck Schumer and Dem Senators - Shut the gov't down if this is what it's producing: "Tesla billionaire Elon Musk shared a post on his platform X this week that declared Hitler “didn’t murder millions of people,” but that public employees did."

Can we admit there is a kernel of common sense in much of the crazy?

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself?

I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

I'd like to know the immediate changes and safeguards that have been and will be implemented since the midair crash over Reagan National. Is anyone asking what's being done to ensure it doesn't happen again?

I've just done my Saturday art scroll and was thinking the best show I saw in 2024 belonged to Vamba Bility's exhibition at the Hammer Museum. Just FYI for now reason ... bsky.app/profile/bsky...

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social is so out of touch, though the real issue might be lack of reporting. Hours are spent on J-6 and DEI exec orders while ignoring the entire list, including rescinding of lower drug prices! Why? It's the economy stupid!

I am watching The West Wing for the first time. The writing falls apart after Sorkin leaves. The show nosedives in season 6 without the core cast in their rightful places. The gravitas, energy, and pacing are gone. But I will motor through until the end.

I don't think Morning Joe's visit to Mar-a-Lago hurt MSNBC ratings. I think viewers needed a break, especially those who'd been glued to every Breaking News alert from Way Too Early through the 11th Hour. It's like a dry November and it's turning into a dry December, too.

Never mind a blight on his legacy or a pox on Democrats' talking points, Biden's pardon of his son, while understandable and something almost any parent would do if they were in a similar situation, illustrates the many tiers of our justice system.

What is that saying about trust? It's earned in drops and lost in buckets.

Our politicians lost it. Here goes the judicial system. What is next?

I think this is what happens when the quest for power and wealth triumphs over the belief in service to the well-being, health, and rights of others.
