@schumer.senate.gov — what a gutless wonder. “The people will rise up.” YOU are elected to represent “the people” and you’re doing NOTHING to stop him. What do we need you for then? Do your job or step down!
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts.
Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Shame on NC — Another state that will not get my travel dollars…My U.S. bucket list is getting far more manageable, so there’s that.
A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won.

Governor Gavin Newsom at the Pacific Palisades Fire on President Biden:
"It didn't take more than a text message...no politics, no hand-wringing, no kissing of the feet. President of the United States said 'yes, what else do you need? The emergency proclamation is being drafted as we speak.'"
