Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

If you have a small enough audience, I like to ask "who is familiar with <X>". If less than 90% of the audience puts up their hand, explain <X>.

I sympathize with folks who say "I assume everyone here is familiar with ..."; there is some self-selection that goes on when someone chooses a talk.

I don't know enough about Congress really, but, am I crazy to think the Senate caved primarily actually so the Republicans wouldn't get rid of the filibuster--which would be a net good--so that they wouldn't lose their excuse for never doing a single thing the Democratic base wants and demands

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Not only did he throw the sandwich at me, but he threw it at me very hard your honor
The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site
dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

there are two schools of thought on protecting Jewish safety in America: we either fight for a pluralistic democracy where we are safe because minority rights are protected or we seek junior partner status in the MAGA white nationalist alliance

the ADL has chosen a side

ADL removes ‘Protect Civil Rights’ from website as it narrows its mission amid right-wing attacks
The removal took place after FBI Director Kash Patel said he would cut ties with the ADL, though it is unclear if that has happened.
