I’m 95% certain we could’ve avoided most of the last 10 years by giving Trump a show on HGTV. Let him build a hideous ballroom for some hotels and yell at Gary Busey. That’s basically his enrichment activity.

This is a very good example of how to make a joke in the alt text without sacrificing accessibility. Thanks for the laugh.

I firmly believe this would make Congress more interesting.

I believe in the Dem’s platform, but I increasingly do not believe in the caucus’s ability to implement it.

I’m sorry, but this whole “we must fight” rhetoric is getting old when you guys *routinely* back down. This is the second time this calendar year that I’ve emailed Durbin’s office about his capitulation on key funding votes. The rhetoric on standing strong is not matching your record.

I mean, I say I don’t understand why, but I suppose I am expecting basic competence and leadership from a party that regularly chooses to step on rakes, so that’s on me.

I just learned about him and I do not understand why they don’t have him in front of the camera more because he is one of the most effective communicators I’ve ever seen.

Kash may be the most 12 of all of them. I’m rooting for a copyright suit over his use of the Punisher logo bc I think that would be interesting/funny.

I fell down a challenge coin rabbit hole & I guess other FBI directors have had them, but were more low key about it bc they seem to be very rare.

…related question: have you seen his challenge coin?

We need a new Senate Minority Leader. Schumer isn’t up to the job and the passage of today’s CR is a failure of Senate Democratic leadership.

Oddly, I’ve been able to get people in his office several times, but I’ve had a heck of a time getting through to Duckworth. I’m looking forward to his retirement.

I own a vuvuzela and my three year old just figured out how to play the harmonica. I’m on it.

He’s my senator. I’m currently on my 3rd angry email in the last 48 hours.

I applaud this strategy.
