"Democratic capitulators whose seats would be filled by Democratic governors in the event of vacancy (Durbin, Fetterman, Kaine, King) should be under immense pressure to resign mid-session. Now, even. Or in Kaine’s case, after Abigail Spanberger is sworn in. If your senator fits that bill, get loud"

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I heard the same with younger folks in my office after the election.
Just finished office hours and when I tell you every single student started their meeting by saying how excited they are about Zohran. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them so hopeful. One student said “I needed a win.”

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Billy Joel releases his “Piano Man” LP this week in 1973.

“I was shocked and embarrassed when it became a hit,” he said of the title track. “The melody is not very good .. the lyrics are like limericks. .. But my songs are like my kids and I look at that song and think, ‘My kid did pretty well.’”

“The President was not sleeping,” WH spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said.

Trump, who repeatedly mocked President Biden by calling him “Sleepy Joe,” had his eyes closed, was slumped in his chair, and snored while Dr. Oz was speaking.

Last week @runforsomething.net helped elect a socialist in Atlanta, a former Republican in rural PA & at least 122 others, (including 35 red to blue flips). We’ve been building the big tent - tight on values, flexible on policy, and most importantly, centered on community.

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

Donald Trump and the Republican party hate America and Americans.
