🤣 An elephant just strolled into a convenience store in Khao Yai, Thailand. On the way out, it helped itself to some rice crackers for the journey 🐘💙

I have raised and loved so many hens from the time they were chicks. Why did I never think to ask about the fate of their brothers?

Chuck Schumer has a book tour starting this week.

It would be a damn shame if people showed up to let him know how they feel about his capitulation on the short-term spending bill passed by the Senate Friday afternoon.

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.

I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Ignorance & arrogance - move fast, break things and by the time the law catches up, people are dead, institutions are destroyed ... fait accompli ... that's the strategy. The impact will be felt in decades: that's what we learned in the Philippines. www.amazon.com/How-Stand-Up...

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Translation: I know Gabbard is unqualified for the job, but I’ll vote for her anyway because I’m afraid of Trump’s wrath.

Also, John Cornyn doesn’t actually believe a president has the right to appoint anyone he wants to his cabinet—he voted against six of President Biden’s nominees.

New from me: Trump is a lame duck, an old, tired, easily manipulated one, whose vanity is a useful tool. Foreign leaders like Claudia Sheinbaum are right to mock him, and American elites should uncurl from the fetal position and get in on the fun.

Donald Trump is a lame duck (not a bear)—an unusually weak one, in some ways—and he knows it.

“Four years ago, dozens of companies denounced the invasion of the U.S. Capitol and pledged to withhold support from those who disputed the 2020 election results. Now, many of those companies are lining up to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration.”
