Trump just described himself as a war hero (on the Mark Levin show). As the proud daughter of a man who served multiple tours in Vietnam, there are no words.

The fact that Laura Loomer is clutching pearls already speaks well of the new Chicago Pope. He has impossibly big red shoes to fill, but he’s off to a good start.

@sarajacobs.house.gov please stay in office for many more terms. Stunning delivery of facts today in Oversight.
Decency and decorum IS a show of strength. The real kind of strength. Strength that can fix the country some day. Thank you for that.

Trump now wants to handpick performers at the Kennedy Center? Are you f*cking kidding me? The guy who likes ketchup on burnt steak with Diet Coke and gold toilets wants to preside over high culture and performing arts? This makes about as much sense as anything else out of the White House, ugh.

@stephruhle.bsky.social another show full of important voices. Thank you! You weren’t alone tearing up at the end there. Thank you for reminding us what matters. National treasure James Carville FTW! Wow. I laughed, I cried.

Imagine a full, above ground swimming pool.
Knowing it works best if you get rid of excess water, you have a choice: You can open a drain valve, OR, you can drive a Cybertruck into the side and remove thousands of gallons fast.
Only one solution lets you keep the pool.
Now, imagine a country…

Polling numbers out today speak to a turning tide. Don’t give up now!
Even republicans are second guessing this ridiculous path. Wish they’d done it sooner, but now is better than never.

Winter isn’t through with us yet. That coat in the back of your closet with plenty of life left in it? Throw it in your car and drop it off at the nearest church, fire station or donation box. You’ll find the right place. Just do it.

The best thing about Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is that she’s just getting started.
The gifted orator and former public defender from the 30th District (south & central Dallas) chose the law after becoming a victim of hate crimes. Her own lawyers inspired her. So glad they did! Look her up!

Do these two things tomorrow, no matter what:
1. Eat something healthy.
2. Reach out to someone you know who is having a rough time and tell them you’re an ally and always will be. It will matter, even if they don’t say so.
Love to every last one of you amazing people. We got this.
