Personal account. My opinions may not reflect those of organizations I work with. Reposts don’t equal endorsement. Pardon my language.
Seriously the weirdest day ever.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is generously praised by Trump in the Oval Office on the same day Majorie Taylor Greene announces a bizarre resignation from Congress.
One of the weirdest days of this era.

BREAKING: Federal judges ruled that Texas Republicans CANNOT use their gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterm elections.
A TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE wrote in the ruling that "substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the map."
This is a HUGE WIN for democracy.

If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Seems to me that there needs to be 8 or so announcements about primarying the folks that caved.
My God, what a horrible, pitiful, defeatist, tone deaf, and just plain…WRONG thing to say. Retire now @SenAngusKing if that’s how you feel. Retire now and put someone else in your place who will stand up to the fascist in the White House.

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

Repulsive.
Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.
This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.
