As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.
Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

John Roberts and his miserable excuse for a high court of justice are presiding over a great disassembling of the United States and the rare American experiment in government by its people. It began with Citizens United and it continues relentlessly. This is a second civil war in slow motion.

The writers’s dilemma: lots of time on your hands because you’re waiting to be paid for finished project; should use the free time to write something new; can’t write anything new because it’s super hard to focus WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAID! #scriptsky #booksky

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.
This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.

Years ago, I entered three scripts in the AFF. 2 were Second Rounders. The 3rd actually won a specialty category. But in the last decade, I’ve only made 50k or so as a screenwriter.
My takeaway: placing in a prestigious competition might not mean much. Just keep working. #scriptsky

Saw Jaws yesterday with my 22-year old daughter, who’d seen it on TV before but never on the big screen. She said, “That was a perfect movie.” I have hope for the future. #filmsky #scriptsky

It’s so nice when a producer actually knows how to speak to a screenwriter…and has good notes to boot! Sad that it’s so rare. #screenwriting #filmsky

Wait, I thought only Nancy Pelosi had the authority to deploy the National Guard in DC.

If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill
