I’m glad Spanberger won and I’m extra glad that I’ll never have to vote for her again.

Lots of people trying to get me to care about this but I couldn’t possibly give a fuck. Tear the whole thing down.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Not exaggerating when I say this is the first time I’ve felt hope since Bernie’s Nevada win in 2020
what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

So, basically “you didn’t say Simon Says”. I wish when the chips were down and it was time to stand on principle, we had one (1) leader who pushed back with equivalent force.
Just in from Governor Newsom.

Where do we defeat fascism? That’s right: in the marketplace of ideas. #imSTILLwithher
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

The very fact that there are jobs where the pay can be slashed in half and the guy doesn’t immediately quit means there are people who make way too much money.

An INVERSE correlation? Wouldn’t that mean the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ?
RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

I worked at the Marine Corps University when Gorka was there. NO ONE respected him. Everyone thought he was a joke. And his head is freakishly huge in person.
Trump's counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka says Americans critical of deportations like Abrego Garcia's are providing "material support" to terrorists — a felony crime.
