This thread is so alarming!
I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

When judges start having existential crises…
A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

The equivalent of an extra car payment for many people
Can we talk about this in a per-month metric? I think it might be easier for folks to internalize.

It's like having a new $316 bill every single month.

That's a lot of groceries.
Trump’s reckless, across the board tariffs will cost families $3,800 per year.

That may not be a lot to Donald Trump or Elon Musk — but it's way too much for working families to pay while billionaires get tax cuts.

Fitting that he’s about to break the record set by a white arguing for segregation. First time I’ve felt hope since the election.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I think when you’re getting schooled by The View it’s time to step aside.
"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

No clue why Schumer and others aren’t feeling the anger out here and making better decisions in line with what constituents want, which is to stop the hemorrhaging of our democracy.
Ex Republicans or however Amanda would describe herself get it. Just gobsmacking that @schumer.senate.gov and other Senate leaders do not.
Here’s the misstep: he’s thinking this is actually about elections in 2026. That’s wrong. Stopping or slowing entrenchment of Trump’s authoritarian agenda is what matters now. Like, right now. Today.

“Walt Whitman in the poem …[As I Sat Alone] By Blue Ontario Shore, I think is the title, I paraphrase Whitman, but since it's Whitman, it really doesn't matter; he says, If you want a better society, produce better people

And that's what we need. “
