Cycling and politics, obviously. Also tennis, dogs and schadenfreude. I’m mostly here to soothe my soul because I’m genuinely worried about the future of our country. Overturn Citizens United. #VoteBlue

If you use schadenfreude in a post or a comment, I’ll follow you.

Just a reminder that Trump's already down to 41% in the polls, and below that on the economy, and Americans have only felt the 401(k) part of his stupid trade war, not the inflation and the potential stagflation yet.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.

I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

He’s still worse at being vice president than he is at skiing. And he’s an incredibly bad skier.

This is not about government efficiency. This is about government emasculation. It's all one big lie.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We're not done yet | 18F

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
