...But we should make the settings geek themed for as much distraction as possible.
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

If you find an item on Amazon from a small business seller, find the company’s website and buy there directly. If you buy on Amazon, the retail giant takes a 45% cut of the small business sale, collecting a monopoly tax on much of American commerce.

Let's check in on Senate Dems today and see how the whole fighter thing is going.
First, the good news:🔥 Every Dem voted NO on Vought's motion to proceed and on cloture on Bondi.
But there's bad news. 8 Dems just rubber-stamped Wright for Energy. 🚨
Y'all, it's just not that hard.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Hey, @murray.senate.gov, put on your ass-kicking boots and get Musk's sticky fingers out of government documents. We also need you to deport him. He's an enemy of democracy.
And the fact that this regime allowed unfettered access means they've committed treason. IMPEACH TRUMP.
